Mixed Media Card

Once I was a cardmaker, even though I gave 95% of my stamps away  I still have my girls because I love them they make me happy but I thought I would create cards that make my style now.
I color her with watercolor, the background is molding paste mixed with dylusions paint and watercolor. The bear is colored twice and one on top with dimensional adhesive.
I did this the size of a pocket I found at target 5x8.5 they sell plastic pockets at the office depart there.
My plan is to put this on my album about me I'm doing for my 40 th year which started but I will show that later I didn't put the album together yet and I want to create some printables.

Thanks for looking

Humility Art Journal Page

I've been doing a lot of art journaling really trying to tackle a handle of self discovery and deal with anxiety and use as a tool as I said before for inner work, it's my dream to use this to work with parents so I better try I already have some ideas and plans in the works for a group for parents. I got inspired by this new magazine a friend pointed out to me at Barnes & Noble called Happinez such a beautiful magazine such good content and beautiful art work. It's from Belgium so not the cheapest  of the magazines. But totally worth it.

As I said before also my art journaling is simple I don't have a lot of supplies so the background here was done with watercolor after I draw the girl I put a cover of clear gesso in the entire page. Than use watercolor to paint. Printed the words and use some stencils that I cut with my cricut. (I cut paper and use as stencil). I have one line stamp I found on sale at AC moore. That's it. This was made in Strathmore mixed media journal..

Thanks for stopping by

Art Journaling on a budget

I'm going back slowly to art journal as my time allows, it's been a great help in my therapy. As a social work minor therapy is a "must" to those who takes it seriously. As my teacher used to say " you can't help people with their crap if you don't take care of your crap" so it helps tremendously and  I've missed it.
But my problem is that you can see tons of you tube videos of art journaling but usually people use so much stuff.
 I don't have space and I won't  buy not even close of the things I used to have because I know won't used it. So, I basically use watercolors, markers, pencils (crayola by the way) and  I intend to use some stamps and some stencils and most I will cut with my cricut . I intend to talk more about this in the summer when I will have some free time or till then as I can.
 Art Journaling doesn't have to be expensive nor full of techniques the objective here is to make you open yourself up and be true to yourself because it's YOUR ART JOURNAL.
Remember that most people that have elaborated and full of supplies art journal receive the product and therefore have to show them.

Or you can always do digital Art journaling

I like both but digital is more about the art the play and the paper is about the feelings I want to work on.
You can grab this girl HERE.
I will be back to post more about what I'm using in my paper art journal.

Art Journal She wants to change her story.

I'm having a lot of fun again playing with watercolors and pens, I don't have space or don't want to buy things as I used to have so my goal is to do art journals that are simple so a good watercolor set will do it and few stamps This is one I kept from the many I gave away. From Suzi Blue .
