to do

Something to think about...

 



the finished page

Here is the finished page (from the last post)...at least for now I am happy with it...who knows, I may add to or alter it sometime...:)  That is one of the things that I love about art journaling...just like me, the pages are always "in process".

 

 

I cut the "frame" with an exacto (a technique we worked on in my "Cut It Out!" class at Creekside Studio https://www.facebook.com/pages/Creekside-Studio/573215292765578 )...then I added a little doodling around the frame and the leaves...plus, I used the Gelly Roll stardust pen to add a bit of sparkle to the wing...you can't really see it in the photo, but its fun.  :) I also gave the polka-dot butterfly antennas with a bit of thin brown twine tied on.

 

Hope you are enjoying your summer.  :)



I'm back!

Here I am...I haven't been here...and I haven't been on vacation either...It has been a very busy past few weeks...My baby graduated from high school, so there has been lots and lots going on around here...
I have still been arting...as I can squeeze it in...and I will always squeeze in a bit...even if its only a few minutes in one sitting...it really, really does add up...and that little bit does wonders for my outlook on things.  :)
Here is just one of the pages I have been playing around on...

 

 

It's amazing what paper, a little glue and ink can do to refresh you...   :)  try it, you'll like it!
