I'm Thankful it's Friday!

Happy Friday! I so need this weekend - it has been a completely draining work week causing me to do some reflecting on my work future. However, I want to enjoy the weekend and not let it consume me!!


I'm hopping on for a quick post to share a two page layout I did for my LSS Right at Home Scrapbooking. I used Authentique's Thankful collection and a sketch - which I altered somewhat. Here's my layout ...

Winter Girl Canvas Class

I'm getting psyched to teach the second in a series of seasonal canvases this Saturday October 27th at my FAV LSS Right at Home Scrapbooking. There's still a few spots open if you're in the area and interested. This will be a fun class filled with cool techniques and you will leave with a finished canvas ready for your home decor. The canvas is 6 x 12 deep-edged so it will sit nicely anywhere! Here's what we'll be creating ...

Art Journal Junkie

I admit it ... I'm an addict ... I can't get enough of playing in my art journals. I wanted to share my recent journal pages. I created some additional backgrounds while I was creating my last page - so i had a great head start! The left side was created by placing a stencil over my sprayed background and then I scraped modeling paste over it.

 The right side is a combination of a magazine image that I fell in love with, Luminarte Paints, stamps, rubons, etc ...

The "believe" stamp is from Dyan Reaveley and the sentiment is one I'm trying to embrace in my own work.

Another Artful Journey

Hello bloggers! Happy Tuesday to you all!


I wanted to share an art journal page I created for our monthly feature over at Creative Imaginations. I am so in love with the journey of art journaling - I can't wait to see how mists work together and how mixed media products act on different papers ... it's amazing to see a blank page turn into something that you had no idea what direction it was going! I used a magazine image from Vogue for this page - I love the deep, dark colors of the image and matched some Luminarte Shimmering Mists and other products and ended up with this ...

We will be using stencils, paints, stamps, inks, modeling paste and so much more! Here's a peek ...
