Walking on thin ice...


Just another page in my art journal.  I just love how every page is different.  You can add so much emotion to your page.  I love watching how the pages develop.  Someone told me the other day that looking at a pages was like Where's Wally.  You see different things every time you look.



Love this girl.  I have added little white dots using my white Sharpie to add accents to the bow in her hair.


And of course I just had to add a spider!!.

Thanks for stopping by.

Imperfection ...Embrace It


I just love the saying on this page.  It really matches with "Peggy" by Stampotique Originals.



Mr. Stripes is quickly becoming one of my favourite stamps.  I added some white dots with my Poster Paint Sharpie to accent him.



These stamps are a tad strange but I just love them.

Thanks for stopping by...

Words Can Say it All


I decided to fill some of the Ranger water pens with my Dylusions Inks to help make it easier to colour in the stamped images.


I love this toadstool stamp and it was a great way to test how my new pens with ink work.



I have used the letter template in different directions and ways.  I really love how this background worked out.




I really don't like birds but actually kinda like this stamp.


Sometime you find some words that are really how you are feeling and exactly what needs to be put on paper.


Don't you just how vibrant the colour are??

With this page I wanted to play with a mix of stamps.  I just want to show people that there are so many different ways that you can use your stamps.


I actually stamped a letter upside down in this page,  Can you tell which one?


No idea why an umbrella has wings but it just works.


The 'b' in book is actually an upside down a


I have just used a lid from one of my spray bottles and dipped it into some paint to make the ring marks.

Another Page from my Sample Art Journal


We just got in some new stamps from Stampotique Originals.  I have used a few stamps from there together with some from the Dylusions range.


I love with Art Journalling that it is okay to not stamp an image properly.


Giggles at legs coming from the top of the page.


Mr Stripes the spider - love him.


The girl stamp is "Sheer".  Isn't she just lovely.  I love her hair.

Art Journal Sample for Pages 2 Scrap


I decided that I needed to prepare a sample Art Journal for display at Pages 2 Scrap.  I have got a little A5 journal.  This is the first page.  I have used my Dylusions stamps, inks and screens.  I love love love them all.


I just love being able to layer the stamps and yet it still looks good.  I love just how easily they work together.


I just love this caterpillar stamp.  Just saying..

More pages soon.

Thanks for stopping by..

Pink Umbrella...


Here is another double page in my art journal.  I love paying with the vibrant colours.  Adding layer after layer you never quite know what you are going to end up with.


I love how the pink of the border at the bottom really stands out.  I also added a little caterpillar and he decided that he needed to wear a hat.



I decided to stamp an umbrella on plain what reflex paper and then colour it and cut it out.  I have only put a little double sided tape in the centre of the umbrella to allow it to stick up a bit and show a bit of dimension.


On the second page I have again used the same order stamp and inked it in Bubblegum Pink Dylusions.  I accidentally stamped my words upside down so worked with that and created a mirror image effect.  That is one of the best things about art journalling is no one knows how it was supposed to look.


I have also stamped a toadstool and used a white sharpie to outline the edges.


Here is a close up of the words and again my pink caterpillar is wearing a hat.  Just because he can.
