Dream

Sharing a new journal page today. I really meant to do this the other day and I just got busy and didn't have time.

This orange came from the fact that we went prom dress shopping the other day and my daughter picked out a beautiful orange dress.

 I used Tim Holtz cards cut in half on the bottom.

Spray inks and a little paint and ink and this is what I came up with. Love love the gel gloss. It makes is so shiny and I love how it blends the inks and water soluable wax pastels. It just makes the colors pop!

On another note...long finger nails and typing don't go together. Just sayin.

Your own sweet natural self

New journal page! I have been in Grandma mode for the past week and now I can finally have some art time!! Love my grand baby though!!

 This one started out with pages glued to the page, but I'm pretty sure I've covered them up completely! I used dylusions ink spray. My new favorite thing I swear! I sprayed them and then sprayed some water and just let them run and blend.

  After it was dry I used some modeling paste mixed with some yellow paint and used a polka dot stencil and a knife and spread it over the stencil. I just love the texture it adds.

 I then used some India ink and just dribbled it at the top and let it run. Adding a spritz of water to help it along. I found the moon face online and made him a star with scraps of scrapbook paper and vintage stamps.

 I added strips of vintage measuring tape as well.

 I used a paint pen for the white dots and doodles at the top. I did add some watercolor here and there for shading as well as a water soluble graphite pencil. Some washi tape at the bottom and added a stamp. Tim Holtz I believe. Then this little line from a vintage book. Hope you like it! And on a side note here, I love how gloss heavy gel blends these inks! I put it on there and it just makes them pop!! Plus it's shiny! Just a thought!

New Orleans pics to share

This guy here was really cool. He did a robot act, and was really good at it to!

The cathedral. Just beautiful. Except for the two half naked prego ladies we seen. Eww. I did like this guys fuzzy outfit!

 My Aunt Dot with the horse. If she could take it home I think she would've!

 The river and the bridge.

 This guy was really cool to. He played his drum and some kids came up and started dancing and another musician came up and really, you just don't see that kind of freedom here.

 Love this statue! This is my dads new girlfriend lol! I took a pic of him sitting and his leg and her lap!

 Andrew Jackson, we are related to him. An uncle of mine did a genealogy thing and  found that we are related on my grandmothers side. Cool.

 Um yea, yummy!!!

I just thought this was a cool shot! Sorry so pic heavy but I do have a few more for another time!!

Journal pages

Wanted to share a quick post of a couple of journal pages. The butterfly one I did before I went to New Orleans and the other I finished up last night. So glad to be back and into art again!!

Journal page

Very weird. I posted a post from my i-pad and for some reason it didn't show up. So anyway, I'll show you my new journal page I finished up last night. After being in New Orleans for a week I think I was having some withdrawls from no art!! lol!! I'll post some pics of that later, I just wanted to re-show this page to ya! HOpe you all are having a great day!

New Orleans!

No pic but I'm packing for New Orleans today! We have family down there and we are going for a visit and Mardi Gras! So excited too! Never been! See you all soon!

Back to normal!?

Well yay! At least I hope so! I believe things are back to normal on here and can finally upload pics from my computer! I switched back to my regular Blogger from Google, or what ever I had it on, and now it's normal!! It worked fine for my i-pad, just not on here! So a quick test post to make sure you all can see the little scrabble tiles I made for some keychains with little shrinky dink hearts!
