Mixed Media & Art Journals
Month of Gratitude: Journal Prompt
Here’s another Monday morning gratitude quote for you. It’s one that I keep posted in my kitchen all year around. What are you thankful for today?
Art Journal Pages in Progress
I took an art journaling class with Dyan Reaveley a few weeks ago and I learned a huge amount. Taking online classes is fun and convenient, but nothing beats the in person experience. And if you’ve ever watched any of Dyan’s videos, you know she is full of personality and a wonderful teacher. I’ve been […]
Month of Gratitude: Journal Prompt
For those of you keeping gratitude journals this month, I’ll be sharing some quotes to inspire you every Monday morning. I’m grateful that you visited my blog today:) What are you grateful for?
Play Time Tag
I played with inks, rubbers stamps and stencils today, and created this oversized tag. It was half an hour of messy fun with no agenda or goal in mind – a rare event indeed!
Mixed Media Card
I was able to lock myself in my studio for a few hours today and create some projects. Only one is finished and ready to share – a mixed media card I created for this week’s Splitcoast Mix-Ability challenge. It started out as piece to put in my journal, but it was sized just right […]

More Altered Playing Cards
I created a few more mixed media cards today, similar to the altered playing cards I posted a few weeks ago. I created them for the Splitcoaststampers Mix-Ability Challenge. The challenge asked you to include drips on your mixed media piece, which I did with Ranger’s Blue Jeans Distress reinker. It was messy but fun! […]
Class with Wendy Vecchi

On My Work Desk…Art Journal Pages in Progress
I’ve been creating watercolor backgrounds for my journals this week, so I figured I’d share some works in progress. I created the first one by laying down a watercolor wash and once dry, flicking it with more watercolors from the brush. I made quite a few of these simple pages as the basis for collage […]
