The impulse to play struck me so I decided to follow it instead of running errands. This is way more fun than dropping off the dry cleaning! Just a few minutes with some Dylusions paints and I was lost in play. Enjoy a chuckle while you watch the video…it felt like I solved a Rubix cube when [...]
Art Journaling
It’s no secret I love to play with art supplies so I was jumping for joy when I was invited to play with goodies from USArtQuest and Susan Pickering Rothamel and StencilGirl stencils! It’s mixed media big time…I’m mixing together all different supplies in this one art journal page! I’m a huge fan of Susan [...]
I love looking at all the inspiration on social media such as Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Google+. When I was stuck and just couldn’t decide what to do in my art journal, I turned to that inspiration to help me get out of my head and start creating. How exactly did I do it? I [...]
It was just a piece of book text for wiping up leftover paints. Just a place to test out if the I had reinked the ink pad enough. This wasn’t meant to be anything. It was junk, but then it wasn’t. I saw a conversation happening between all these people. They had a message for me [...]

And…get this…I apparently liked it so much that I had to wipe off the paint way more than I ever expected. [...]
Stencils are versatile. Why? Because you can use them how you like. Use the whole thing at once or use bits and pieces of it. That flexibility is what keeps me using stencils over and over and over. I’m sharing the fun by giving away one of my new stencils too! Be sure to keep [...]
Sue Pelletier has created a fabulous book full of inspiring eye candy in a rainbow of happy colors! Now, I might be biased…but not because she used one of my stencils (which is loaded with texture and text joy on p. 17) but because she is an encourager of creativity with a laugh out loud sense of fun! It [...]
This month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party is brought to you by a party…party fork that is! One of the many reasons I love the Gelli Plate® is that you can use just about anything with it, including a plastic fork to create quick texture. I’m also mixing the Deco Arts fluid acrylics right on the 4″ [...]
I’m popping up in all sorts of places lately….I’ve just wrapped up filming 4 videos with Northlight and I’ll be sharing all the little secrets like who scared me the most next week on the blog. And I’ll have a few extra stories from it just for my newsletter friends. If you don’t want to miss [...]
