Another 4X4 mini book page! I LOVE doing this with my friends…it is so excited to make these little gifts. I loved getting my pages for my birthday & am putting them together in a banner which I will be hanging in my art studio. I promise to take pictures and post them once I have it all put together and hanging in a special spot.

Another fun art journal creation! I have a great tip: I love putting cardstock or ugly “not-so-lovely anymore” patterned paper in my spray bucket. Then, when I spray a project with Glimmer Mist (or other FAB sprays) the paper gets covered in the color and shimmer. I have oodles of these colorful papers and decided one day to run them through my Big Shot using the Tattered Florals die from Tim Holtz. I was left with a basket of gorgeous paper flowers. I got the idea to use Matte Medium and cover the pages of the art journal with the flowers. THEN, I COULD NOT STOP! I used more flowers and used this same simple technique to make a 12X12 sheet of paper that I will use in another project. This would be cool with any die in your collection-can you imagine my own paper made from butterflies or maybe birds? Stay tuned for more…

Here is another addition to the art journal that I create with some of my artsy peeps! These pages were inspired by a New Year’s advertisement from Anthropologie. I thought it would be fun to recreate that ad AND, of course, I loved the trumpet. Mine turned out a little “comic book-ish” but Marty says he LOVES it. The confetti is just some cut up scraps with some fun bits from a product by Suze Weinberg-can’t remember what it’s called. There are a few little banners in there that I have had in my stash forever. You just never know when those things will come in handy!!!

On Saturday, I taught a class at Rock Paper Scissors in Montclair, NJ. Each month we focus on a theme and a technique. This month we used a brand new paper collection from Basic Grey called Kissing Booth. I taught techniques using Flock and Glitter products. If you live nearby, come & join us! We are starting a brand new scrapbooking class in less than two weeks. Hope to see YOU at Rock Paper Scissors!

This page was SO much fun to make. I think I had to make about a dozen of them. These were for a swap that I did a few months ago. What I love the most about this is the use of corrugated cardboard. I LOVE using cardboard with paints & sprays in my projects. It is really fun to look at items differently-bubble wrap, protective wraps around wine bottles or fruit, bags from potatoes. These items make great stamps for texture or stencils. What are you items that you use in your art that are a little funky or outside the box?
