This art journal page is nothing to sneeze at…because I did all the sneezing last week which led me to use an entire box of tissues…which is where I grabbed that great piece of pattern that started the whole page.  I’ve got the entire process…well not the sneezing…in a video and guest post on Julie Balzer’s blog.

And there was treasure hidden under a flap on the box too that will definitely be showing up in my art journaling!  See the video and photos here.

I was under the influence of the 70’s while I made this art journal spread.  The music was blaring and my muse stopped by to spark my play by making this floral Gelli print® call to me from a stack of prints. If you’ve ever used a Gelli Plate®, you know how easy it is to make a giant stack of papers!

What song was playing?  Together We’re Better by the Partridge Family.  I’ve been a bit addicted to the sounds of David Cassidy of late partially because my muse always seems to visit when he is singing.  My teenager is not so thrilled with this, especially when she has friends over…but she’ll just have to deal with the loud music!

If you’ve never heard this…or want to hear it again…thanks to YouTube…here it is!

Rae Missigman might recognize her flower stencils in the Gelli print® that started the play.   And yes, those cars from my Coming and Going stencil are most definitely tailgating…Oops!  Maybe the drivers were just listening to way too much music.

Since they’re listening to music, had to capture that on the page with Nancy Curry’s stencil with a bit of sparkle from Viva Decor 3D stamp paint.  Thank you David for the tunes that are so inspiring my play!
