Cover Page

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE WAY MY COVER CAME OUT!!

Decided to work on the cover of my Dyan Revealey Art Journal, so glad I did, totally in love with it, and her paints are scrumptious!!

Art Journals

Working in my Dyan Reaveley's large journal this week.  Got alot of inspiration from her facebook page! Forgive me for not remembering where I got the idea for the top one, but it looked like fun and there are tons of layers on this page.

Poppies and bubbles, not really how this one started out, it's growing on me, but another one that I'm not sure I like.  What I will say is that I LOVE working in art journals.  I have a small journal that I can take on the road with me, but need to have a small collection of markers and colors that I can doodle with.

Canvas Work

The canvas was calling to me on this one, I used everything mixed media that I could get my hands on! I'm not sure I like it, but it's growing on me...

The Grungier the Better

Love the grungy look, and when I got to this episode, I got really excited! Love the blue and brown combo, and then to get to the glazing and grunginess of it, it turned out awesome!!

Donna Downey Inspired!

Another one from Donna Downey's Inspiration Wednesday... wasn't sure how this would turn out...

Love using the textured joint tape and texture paste!

Didn't like it until the end result, which is when I start liking it :)

Back at the Blog!!

Decided to update my blog finally!  I have been working on Donna Downey's Inspiration Wednesday again this year, even though I never finished last year's, haha! But I love her work so much, so I really copied the heck out of this one, and love the way it came out!

Inspiration Wednesday!

So I decided to take the plunge and join Donna Downey in her Inspiration Wednesday 2015 class! Every other week this year, I'll be doing her challenges in my art journal (and may I add that her homemade journals are beautiful!!!)

I started out following along closely, using gesso, super heavy gesso and molding paste.  I also deciding on using a few things from Club Scrap!  One was the flower stencil on the enclosure on the front page.

Adding my choice of Golden Paints and some glaze (which I'd never used before and absolutely love!)

Added a few embellishments and another cool stamp phrase from Club Scrap...

Here is the finished product!

I'm going to enjoy getting my mojo back and creating with this talented lady!!!!
