Turning this Gelli print in to a card was supposed to be a quick and easy. Then there was an Oops thanks to my handwriting. Then another. That probably doesn’t surprise you one bit. I make all sorts of mistakes, I mean Oopsies, as I play. It didn’t go as planned but every Oops was [...]
Oops!
It was a conspiracy. I’m not making this up. I am not crazy. It was a total conspiracy from my muse to get me playing. She wanted me away from the computer screen with a jumbo to-do list and into the paints! When I saw the challenge over at Art Journal Journey, I just couldn’t stop [...]

I wanted color, lots of color, all summer long. The plants are pretty but there are times when they aren’t in full bloom and I wanted color all the time. So I used an afternoon painting flower pots. Oops… What you are seeing is the 2nd try with the paint….the first time I used exterior house [...]
It’s summertime here. Kids think of the pool. I think of spray painting outside. As I brought my Liquitex spray paints out to the picnic table, I knew there was going to be an Oops. There always is with me. The Oops today was a gift that let me see overspray in a new way. I covered [...]

Too much leftover paint on the palette led me to some very fast and somewhat sloppy stenciling with the Use Your Words stencil. Notice all the paint that ran under it. I adore that because [...]
This little stenciled ornament should be called Oops. Why? Because there was one after the other while I was making this using Sue Pelletier’s Loose Dress stencil over at StencilGirl. This was supposed to be a little purse/bag to give as a gift…then an Oops happened so that wasn’t possible…My carefully thought out plan [...]
I have fond memories of Greece and am in awe of ancient Greece. Love the old temples, the history, the mystery of it all! When I saw this stencil by Maria McGuire for StencilGirl Products I was flooded with memories of my visits. Maria and I decided this stencil was to be our Artsy Fartsy [...]

Here’s how I use Oops when I art journal to keep fear from limiting my creativity… The white was supposed to be pure white and not have streaks of orange in [...]
They were screaming. They were shouting. There was stress. Surprisingly, there was no art happening. I had a major infestation of gremlins that brought my creativity to a halt. I had enough of these gremlins yelling at me. Time for them to go. I decided the best way to get rid [...]
