I’ve got a new guest post over at CreateMixedMedia! Stop on over there to check out my conversation with that voice in my head…and how I even had a little fun freaking that voice out at the end!
Maria McGuire is a doodler. She can make magic with a pen and she loves to create stencils that have spaces made for doodling. I am not a doodler by nature but I have found doodling to be a bit infectious, in a good way!
Watch Dream Landscape Art Journal Play on YouTube.
I started by getting the Doodle It Dream Landscape stencil in my art journal with spray ink.
I am easily distracted, especially when I turn off my thinking mind…and you’ll see how it shows up in the video while I am adding paint to the pattern.
Maria doodles with patterns but I am more of a word doodler, so I filled in some shapes with words. I think that stems just a bit from the fact that I don’t have her pen work patience.
I have a sneaky suspicion that I will be adding more more doodling to this in the future. That’s one of the many reasons why I love art journaling – a page never has to be finished in one sitting!

Craft Attitude solved a big problem for me. My problem of getting rich color on metal that won’t smear. I don’t have a lot of metal paints and that doesn’t matter any more!
Keep reading because this is a blog hop so there’s lots of inspiration and a giveaway too!
I printed out one of my free downloadable Sparks of Art-spiration on an inkjet printer onto the Craft Attitude. Then ran the metal through a Xyron to apply some adhesive and it stuck perfectly to the sheet of metal.
The Craft Attitude went perfectly. The directions in the package were clear and easy to follow. And yes, I did read them. Well…most of them.
Not everything else went perfectly. In fact there was a giant Oops. About half way through the video you’ll see what happened and how I fixed it. Enjoy the laugh…I know I did when I realized what was wrong.

This card used the stencil, Tall Birds by Terri Stegmiller.
