June DLP journal entry

Hi friends!

I have another 

Documented Life Project page to show you.

This one is from June

The June theme is Travel Journaling

The challenge - Hometown inspiration

Journal prompt - There's no place like home

So thinking about the comforts of home I made this page...

I cut out the tea cups, 

drew and cut out the chair,

painted the picture of a scene outside my window 

and

of course a book,

 that describes a few of my loves at home.

Thanks for visiting!

DLP Art Journal page

Good morning everyone!

Today's art journal entry was done for a 

November 

Documented Life Project.

November's Theme is 

Stencils, Stamps & Masks

The challenge for this one was to use hand carved stamps & the journal prompt was tapestry.

I laid a bunch of book page strips on the background then played, 

smearing paints in a plaidish way.

I added a few of my stamps all around the page.

For the journal prompt I went with 

Tapestry, song lyrics by Carly Simon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Art Journaling with hand carved stamps

Happy Friday everyone!

This past summer when I was lacking crafty mojo I decided to play around with stamp carving.

Here is one of my journal pages using a couple of my stamps...

The background was, 

once again,

 a throw together with leftover paints.

I used an old credit card for some of it and a Tim Holtz stencil for the dotty bits.

The flowers and leaves are all my hand carved stamps.

I finished them off with stems I painted in. 

Hugs to you all!

Have a great weekend!

Art Journal play

Hi friends!

Today I have an art journal page to show off...

The background was done with a bunch of colors left over from another project, 

randomly smeared all over.

I used a toilet tissue roll for the flower making.

White paint & a white paint pen to highlight the insides of the flowers 

and liquid pearls for the centers. 

For the shadowing I used a black Stabilo pencil and a bit of water on my finger to smudge it.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love it when you visit!

Art Journal

Hi folks!

I want to share an art journal I made for myself.

I used chipboard for the covers,

played with some paints, stencils, stamps, modeling paste 

and 

a toilet tissue roll (for making the flowers)!

On the inside I used some mixed media paper 

so I could journal, doodle or paint.

Hope you all have a happy, wonderful week!

Thanks for visiting!

Inspiration Wednesday

Hi!

How are you!

I'm doing ok... 

trying to keep busy...

still looking for a more consistently flowing mojo...

and 

exploring more forms of artsy fun!

I joined Inspiration Wednesday with Donna Downey,

sometime in early 2015,

 and did pretty good keeping up with it for a few months...

now it's catch-up time for all the months I've missed!

Here is the last journal entry I did...

The background was painted with a credit card,

the circles were done with a dabbing sponge & outlined with a white pen

and

the flowers were done with a painting knife.

Thanks for visiting!

Have a great weekend!

Christmas Canvas

Good morning!

Happy December! 

I'd been wanting to make some kind of Christmas canvas 

but since I never plan any projects out I was having hard time figuring out what to do. 

Going through my scrap papers I thought "collage"!

Tada...

The background is the last of a paint color I had mixed too much of,

 for another project,

 mixed with some gesso.

I used heavy gesso and glitter for the snow below the tree & gifts as well as up the edges and under & oozing from the top of the mantle piece.

Happy Holiday Season!

Thanks for stopping by!
