Happy Monday! For the past few months I’ve been sharing inspiring quotes on my Facebook page every Monday morning. It’s just a little something positive to kick-start the week. It occurred to me that I should share the quote on my blog too. Here goes….. I’m sharing today’s artwork with the kind permission of Loske from […]
I fell in love with the Ranger’s Dylusions ink sprays when I took a class with Dyan Reaveley last Fall and have been using them on my journal pages ever since. When I took the splitcoast Mix-ability challenge last week, I mixed Dylusions with matt medium to create a glaze, and it got me thinking about […]
I haven’t created a handmade card for ages – I mostly work in my art and travel journals right now. But while I was playing the weekly Splitcoast mixed media challenge, this card emerged. The challenge was to combine glue or some type of acrylic medium with a coloring medium. I’ve worked with acrylic paint glazes […]
I’ve been back from my vacation in the UK for a week now and I’ve finally managed to catch up with life (laundry, bills, emails, grocery shopping etc). So, I gave myself some time to play this weekend on a fun Splitcoast challenge to create a mixed media summer tag. The first tag is a […]
With Valentine’s Day at the end of the week, I thought I’d share a journal prompt about passion. Not romantic passion, but finding and following your life’s passion. What’s your passion? Let me know in the comments. For free weekly updates and project ideas, please sign-up for my newsletter.

Often customers ask me to suggest a quote for the front of their travel journal […]
Happy Monday! This week’s journal prompt is a quote about creativity by the Irish poet and writer, John O’Donohue (1956-2008). If you’re not familiar with his work, I highly recommend his book on love, friendship and loss, Anam Cara – it’s one of my ‘read once a year’ books. If you’re struggling to find inspiration […]
We’re two weeks into the new year and I don’t know about you but this is the time when I start to struggle with my new year’s resolutions. I stumbled across this quote by one of my favorite authors, Paulo Coelho and I hope it inspires you to keep moving forward with your 2014 goals. […]
I haven’t shared any journaling prompts this month, but there’s still time for a couple. I think of December and Christmas time as the season of joy and that’s been the focus of some of my journal entries this month. I hope this quote by Alan Cohen inspires some thoughts for your journal, scrapbook or […]
