This is my happy page right now. Wish the camera was able to capture the iridescent inks. Maybe one day there will be a way…The old Probe game (where the letter cards came from) has made me so happy!
Art Journaling
I think I may need professional help. I’m hearing voices. The paper is starting to talk to me – perhaps I need to make sure I have adequate ventilation when I am using art supplies…This corrugated paper was a leftover from cutting a circle, and it begged me to put it in an art journal. [...]
Over at The Altered Page, Seth put out a call for stacks. He’d taken a photo of a stack of his journals which led to Heather Campbell from Blissful Things, to say ‘I love stacks of paper and handmade books…we should all take a picture of our own. Maybe Seth you have a place we [...]
I really love this girl stencil by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer. I think it is the flowing hair that I’ve fallen in love with…and I love that she got me using so many odds and ends! The background was made while coloring ribbons and die cuts with spray inks. I hate to waste beautiful inks so [...]
I have been purging stuff from my home to make room for my life. It is freeing! I found the box of audio cassettes (it’s an ancient form of recording for those young people) that had recordings of family members. Relatives that are no longer with us. Children who are way too old to be [...]

Start with a page out of an old book. Die cut some shapes from cheap notebook paper. I used Tim Holtz’s tag with the book plates. Love those! I found really cheap notebooks at Staples this week – 1 cent a notebook! It was darn close to free! Back to the art…I die cut more [...]
I had such fun creating this page! There wasn’t a plan – just play. I’ll share what cool trick I learned while doing it tomorrow!
I was having the kind of day where I needed to be reminded to have faith. I used the paper I made from homework. You can see it here. I don’t think it is finished yet, but it is as finished as it will be for now.
