Art journalling again

So I have finally got some energy back and am, finally, once again finding inspiration in things.

Don't you just love it when the mojo is flowing so much that a quick sit down at the craft desk turns into hours long because the idea is just moving forward so much. 

I saw this challenge on the Simon Say Stamp Wednesday challenge blog.

And I thought to myself, I have a great art journal page in mind for that. I could use modelling paste to create texture- something I do all the time.

Song started on a background and the ideas just kept coming. The inks were blending great, the colour was just what I was after. The quote I loved matched the layout perfectly, It was all going amazing.

Next thing I knew my alarm was going off telling me it was time to go get my son from school lol. 

And this is what I created 

It may not look like much but there is 4 different coloured inks in there lol. I will have to take a better picture with natural light tomorrow and hope it shows it better lol. 

Thanks for stopping by

123 Challenge Blog

The March 123 challenge went live so I can now share with you my DT entry for their months challenge. 

For this months challenge I decided to make an Art Journal page. I love art journaling and love to play with paints and ink and all sorts of messy things. 

And this page came together really easily. As I was gathering my colours to fill the autumn colour criteria it all seemed to flow from there. I used red and orange dylusions paints and had a touch of brown on my pallet. I used an old card to drag the paint over the page- and in doing this the colours blended together beautifully. 

I love this layout- thanks for stopping by, hope you will join us this month for our challenge.

123 Design Team- Feb Challenge

Over the weekend I was given the fantastic news that I had been accepted into the 123 Challenge Blog Design Team. 

This is my first ever design team and I was so excited to get started.

This is my layout for this months board-

I like to use mixed media, inks, sprays, paints etc on my layouts, but at the same time I don't want all my layouts to always look the same or have the same formula. So I try and challenge myself to find different ways to use my fave techniques.

Here, I misted a scrap piece of card stock with dylusions inks in Post box red and Cherry Pie, and the cut and punched hearts from it. Using this on my black background really made the red stand out.

I'm looking forward to creating for the blog every month, and looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with- why not come give it a try.

2016 project life

So I'm an currently up to date with my 2016 project life!! Hahahaha 

Seeing as it is only week 2, that's not too bad hahaha.

My first 2 spreads were Pocket Pages, but last night I added a 12x12 layout to compliment my second spread. 

I did a spread of my boys at the park. But I loved this picture so much I wanted to give it its own spread. 

I often do that in my PL album. I do my pocket page spread and then I 12x12 scrap my favourite photo. 

This is my favourite photo of my son on the swing. I absolutely love his fave in this photo. He loves to swing so much and always wants to go higher- which makes me very nervous. But the look of outlaw joy on his face was something I wanted to document.

Thanks for looking and happy scrapping

YouTube here I come!!

So I have just recently branched out into process video territory- and I LOVE IT!!

I started making process videos on the weekend, and haven't been able to stop! I even did voice overs- which is something j didn't think I could ever do!!!

I love watching process videos, and I love getting inspiration from them. Recording myself making layouts was defiantly a change, but oh how I love it. 

So come on over to my channel- have a look around. I have a few videos up, but I am already in the process of editing and uploading even more.
