Do more of what makes you HAPPY!!!!

Hi crafty peeps!  I had a small window of opportunity to pop on and post a new journal page I recently finished.  Have I told you how much I love the Art Journal?  Its such a stress reliever to just play around and finally get to use all the art supplies I have been hoarding over the years!  

This page started by simply ripping some dp (Pink Paislee by Christy Tomlinson) into grass blades and flower petals.  I created my background using Gesso, Golden Acrylic Paint (teal), Tim Holtz Distress Paint Daubers, The Crafters Workshop stencils, Faber Castell Pitt Pens, Glitter, Tim Holtz alphabet stamps, black marker, old book paper, & Mod Podge to name a few supplies ;)  I wanted to keep with the dp theme and I ripped some letters for my quote!!!  

Here is a close up of the flower!
