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!

If you are into Art Journaling, or have even just thought about it, you must check out the following blogs:  Julie Balzer's Blog, BALZER DESIGN,  There's a section called ART JOURNAL EVERY DAY, with a big linky list full of great inspiration!!!  ALSO,  ARTISTS IN BLOGLAND, you MUST check it out and play along!  Artsyville Blog is so much fun I played along for the GLUE IT TUESDAY challenge!!!  There definately was alot of glue used on this page!  Another fun and full of inspiration artsy blog is CREATIVE EVERY DAY!

{Dream}, wish, believe.....

 Hello folks!  Its been a while since I've postsed anything and now since things are starting to slowly wind down I've found a little pocket of time to get something up on here.  I started this little painting the beginning of last year and have just recently finished it. 
It started with a piece of 7x7 chipboard and acrylic paints and gouache.  I then went in with my Faber Castell Pitt Pens to add some stems and dimension/shadows etc...I finished it off with some rub-ons and stamps!!!  So fun! 

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
