This was a tough crusade for me – to get me in my journal. To be in FRONT of the camera. I am a one woman “mammaratzi” & have been for years – so there aren’t many photos of me. even though I often had 2 cameras with me on a vacation or at an [...]
Art Journaling
I ran across this piece I made in Christy Tomlinson’s class as I was finalizing a few gifts. It struck me how important home is – home with family – and that changes happens whether I am ready or not. As I am going through old photos I felt how much I miss some very [...]
My family thinks I’m off my rocker since I really want to spend a night at an ice hotel. It might be chilly, but what an amazing sight these places must be! For now, it’ll just be a wish in my journal…There was to be one in the USA but I read it was closed [...]
I can tell you all the things I don’t like about these journal pages. I can bemoan my choice of marker color, my handwriting that makes me cringe, or my unedited writing on the pages. OR I can tell that damn inner critic to jump in a lake, take a long walk off a short [...]
While checking out the creativity on blogs I found several people sharing their rainbow work. I was so bummed that I missed the week of color over at Daisy Yellow. Luckily, I learned she’s doing another week – so I jumped on it- especially since this is one of my favorite colors! Check out all [...]
I was using this journal page to catch the overspray for several other projects when I just fell in love with how the colors worked together. I added a bit of paint in the middle. Didn’t plan this one, but it certainly made my day! The muse often strikes when I least expect it!!!! [...]
Confession time- I feel behind on my Christmas journal last year. So far behind, it was never finished. I took a great class from SherrieJD called Countdown to Christmas. She’s got an new one this year. Her classes are so full of videos and images – a fantastic value!!!!I made the journal but my [...]
My Silhouette cutter was my friend for making my Thanksgiving decorations. They were made from paper (you can see them here). I loved the pattern in the turkeys so I decided to use them as a stencil with spray inks. I only used part of the turkey as a stencil so it didn’t scream Thanksgiving. [...]
A quick journal page inspired by last night’s family trip to Wicked. One of the best parts of seeing a Broadway show is the drive home listening to the soundtrack. Hope you’ve had a great weekend!
Day 17 of Art Every Day Month! Wow – this month is flying by! I keep a large journal, really just 14×17 spiral bound mixed media paper pad. It is a larger surface so I can use it to catch ink, paint, glue, anything that spills past an art project. So this one started with [...]
