20130406_1706After our snow yesterday…yes you read that correctly…snow on April 5th, I guess I wanted to remind myself that a new season is actually upon us.

It is Spring according to the calendar and before we know it, the weather will be hot and humid.

When I started this journal page I had no idea where it was going. 20130406_1705

I spread my super thin, lame gesso over the pages in my Watkins cookbook journal then kept adding layers of paint and stamping.

Next I wanted to try out some molding paste applied through a stencil…a technique I’ve seen several times on YouTube videos. I love the texture it adds. I’ll definitely be trying that one again!20130406_1708

I used water and walnut ink to age this library card which is placed on top of a bit of a forest scene magazine page. Love it when things like that work out.

Still looking for more texture I glued down a bit of flower trim.

I am incredibly happy with 20130406_1704the way this one turned out.

And look..the sun is even shiny bright today promising that the Season is actually changing.

I love a good quote as much as a good cup of tea. Yogi Tea gives me both.

 

This one is just perfect for today. I’ve been learning about grace…something I didn’t believe existed. Amazing the things we can see or hear when we just pay attention.

Quick art journal page this morning.

Lots of layers and texture…

Thought the math page would work quite nicely.

Bits and pieces laying around came together for me yesterday.  
Wish that happened more often.

 


After a little nudge…I thought I’d show some of my pages. Some of these have been shown on the blog before quite a while ago. The rest were made in my pre-blogging days.

I’m only showing my pages as I didn’t ask permission from the others to display their work.

Please forgive the weird formatting…not sure whats up with the pictures and why they won’t go where I want them!

I’ve been at it again.
After moving snow yesterday afternoon and this morning, I thought I’d play a little.

First I took out watercolor paper and started making some backgrounds. I used paints, inks, gesso, embossing powder, PearlEx powder, foam stamps and papers scraps.

LAYERS, LAYERS, LAYERS.
****************

While waiting for those to dry I pulled out a book I started long ago with some tip-in from a swap. My theme for the swap was quotes. I used the book All I really needed to know I learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum as my base. These are the pages I added today. They are worked in directly in the book…not as a tip-in.

**************
After my backgrounds dried I cut them into 4×8’s for chunky book page backgrounds and 2.5×3.5 for ATC’s.

This is the ATC was made with one of my new backgrounds.
