I had crafting Tuesday at my house  and I will admit I stole the idea from my friend Cindi about the Christmas theme. And I am so glad I did! I love how my page turned out.



And here are some close ups of the individual blocks.









Thanks for stopping by!

Balloon journal page

This my Mixed Media Monday journal page   Thanks so much http://www.tracywburgos.typepad.com/ for great inspiration. 

Stencil Journal Page

Once again I was fascinated with what Terri Sproul did on Tuesday night. Here is the art journal page I did for that challenge. I am thankful for time. Seems crazy I know but that is what I truly treasure every day.



I used many stencils with distressed inks, dylusions, paint and a stamp from a company long gone (Arizona Stamps, Too!). And I used my homemade stencil paste with the clock face stencil. So cool. Got the recipe for the paste here.

November gratitude challenge

Here is my November Gratitude challenge page for Tracy Weinzapfel studios.  I had more fun than I realized I would doing this page. Hope you enjoy.


Here is the palette I chose from The Perfect Palette. It is the warm palette and i added the green since it is in there too. It is a lovely website for color combo ideas.

Terri Sproul oil vs water

        
          This is my attempt at Terri Sprouls' challenge this week. Love watching the Tuesday night video's. Terris' blog
This is the whole two page spread and then each page. I used real leaves from my yard before they all blew away. Mine is called Winds of Change. I used a wax crayon for the wind and dylusions for wind. Border stamp is Dyan Reaveley stamps and birds in nest/tree is Outlines.

I am an Artist

I watched the upstream video from this blog mixed media Monday and was inspired to make this art. Good thing art is so subjective. I used jenni bowlin dauber inks and water. Some gelatos for more intense colors and a sharpie. Some acrylic paint and bubble wrap.

Magazine Monday 29

This is my first attempt at an art journal and at the magazine Monday challenge. I used delusions spray inks and some butterfly stencils. There is mulberry paper over the left butterfly. And the circles are homemade modeling paste on a leftover paper tube. Various stamps used on the bottom and paper trey ink die clouds. Hope you enjoy.
