    I’m hosting Art Journal Journey for July!

    July 1, 2024 - By 

    Welcome everyone! I’m thrilled to be hosting this month over at Art Journal Journey!

    “I’ve got a notion”

    I chose a very tongue-in-cheek theme that has a wide variety of ways to fulfill the challenge.

    This piece uses a number of sewing themed items as well as machine stitching.

    Don’t let the word “notion” trip you up. It’s really more sewing themed with a puny title. I love a good pun!

    I added a little pocket to hold a tag with a quote that resonated with me.

    I’m looking forward to seeing how others interpret my theme of “I’ve got a notion”.

    Head on over to Art Journal Journey and join the fun!

    Flexing my creative muscles

    June 23, 2024 - By 

    It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used my creative side. I’ve got a project scheduled for July, so I need to get my hands dirty and make some things! How’s that for a teaser…

    While cleaning up my creative space, I found an incomplete 7×7 scrapbook album that I’d totally forgotten about. It works perfectly for loose leaf/ stand alone journal pages which happen to be a favorite of mine.

    Instead of continuing to clean my space I had a little side quest and made this journal page.  It felt so amazing to have gluey, painty fingers again!
