Layering stencils have been on my mind and what’s on my mind ends up in my journals. You might have seen my latest layering stencils that have 2 patterns on each stencil. Solar System is not one of those…but I ended up layering it anyway. (Be sure to check out the giveaway here!) If you’ve been [...]

The spray inks that I used for today’s play should have been in a museum. They have to be at least 10 years old. That makes it a vintage supply in my world. And these Luminarte spray inks still worked just as well as they did when I bought them. If you’ve ever had spray inks, you [...]
I am sharing all the heroic details of how I saved the life of a pen in my guest post at CreateMixedMedia.com Okay…it wasn’t heroic at all. But I did prevent a pen from being ruined. Video waiting over there for you too! Check it out!
Art journaling doesn’t have to just happen in an art journal. It can happen on say…a picnic table. It’s the same type of play, just on a bigger scale and I still consider it art journaling. It all started with the yellow picnic table. Notice the spray paint over spray on there? That was an [...]
Words inspire me so you bet I was excited to play with Seth Apter’s new stencil, Explore. It’s loaded with words and lots of texture too. For today’s play, I’m using fancy fancy things…like cardboard from a box, a cosmetic sponge, and old scrapbooking paper. This is just one of many stops in a blog hop celebrating Seth’s [...]

Ever have a Gelli print® that leaves you feeling blah? The kind that are fine or okay…that is such a so-so place to be. I don’t like so-so. So what do I do? I say O.O.P.S. This Outstanding Opportunity Presenting Suddenly was loaded with opportunity. If I didn’t care about it, I was free to just play with [...]
What can you do with the papers you make Gelli® printing? You can build on the colors and lines already there with a stencil to create your own custom artful patterned papers. Something strange has been happening to me…I have been having fun with subtle coloring. Not sure what is happening, but when the muse [...]
Everything is paintable in my world, including fun Amazon boxes with Minions on them! After watching the Minion movie trailer, I am just positive Stuart would approve of me painting him and the box…right Stuart… There are all sorts of these boxes from Amazon, with each a character and one with all 3, that I [...]
The secret of a mystery was revealed to me by my muse while I was art journaling. Or perhaps she was having fun reminding of something I need to be reminded of every now and then. Let’s just say the secret isn’t rocket science… In this video, you’ll see how I deal with not being able [...]
