Playing around, but with a twist – I went very basic on this and I like it! No stencils, no writing, no images. Such a weird feeling not to have text on there- anywhere. At first I thought it wasn’t finished but once I realized it was an ode to the gobstoppers of summers at [...]
Art Journaling
My art is like a photo of my soul at that moment. I have been blessed to spend time with dear friends so my soul is just happy! My mind is stressed from catching up but my soul is happy. This page is all the leftovers. I spray inked a bunch of die cuts [...]
I’ve been out of town relaxing with troublemakers, I mean friends. I have a huge stack of “should do” work after being gone, but I decided to play instead. Better to take care of my creative soul than my laundry right? As I was catching up on my internet friends, I found all sorts of [...]

It’s week 3 of Dina Wakley’s Out of the Journal Challenge, Paint Party Friday , Art Journal Every Day and Frilly & Funkie’s canvas challenge so I needed to get painting. Started by gluing down old newspaper that protected the table when I was spray inking something. Don’t remember what I inked but [...]
My kids wondered why I was so happy- it was because of the mail. Not any mail but the package filled with Tangie Baxter’s new rubber stamps. I’m a huge fan of her digital goodies at Scrapbookgraphics.com so when I saw she was making stamps I had to buy them. Here is the first one [...]
Dina Wakley’s Out of the Journal challenge has been making my head hurt. It’s not her fault. It’s me. Is this a canvas or an art journal page (just not in a journal)? I’ve pondered (which lead to the head hurting) how I would define art journaling and the answer that is best for me [...]
