It seems as though I am taking a small pause from quilting. Not very long I assure you but I wanted to get some art journaling in. I also bought a few new supplies, (I had not done this in a while). Here is one of the layouts I did over the weekend. I don't know if it is really complete but I will post it anyway.
The base is distress stains on a journal. I then doodled everything with a Pitt Big Brush white pen and micron pens. The image is from Some Odd Girl.
I met someone this weekend that suggested I take pictures at different stages of my work and explain the process. I may try that one day. My process is normally to make the backgrounds first.
Oh well
Until later

Hi Everyone
Here is another blog post for you. I was crafting over last weekend and had a little time to play. This one is in my "Comet" journal. It holds all types of media well and has a great price point.
I did this one with Distress stains. Which are absolutely one of my favorites to work with. I wanted to just play so I did some dots with the blotter top and it was like magic. The page just appeared. I am sorry, I don't remember which exact ones I used. They were part of my cousins stash.
I used a Micron 08 pen to draw the circles and a Micron 02 pen to write the words. The words are inspirational thoughts for me to embrace. All of the doodling was done with a Micron as well. I used some of the small block stamps for accents. Wink of stella brush markers are the metallic coloring. It was a very quick and easy page to display some creativity.
Until next time

Well howdy, I wanted to get this post in while I had a minute of time.
This is actually a layout I did almost 9 months ago. I had just come off of my classes with Dyan Reavely and was really into just spray back grounds. I of course had to use some of her famous magazine pictures and accent those with white paint pen, white gel pen and then some pitt pens and microns.
Amazingly, I am up at almost 2:30 am. I am tired and sleepy but not enough to just fall asleep. Now imagine that. In anycase, I hope you like the layout.
I am going to link this to the web blog A creative Romance. They have an anything goes theme. I hope you all like the layout. I am linking as well to Simon Says Stamp Blog Wednesday Challenge. This one is create your own background. Clearly I have done that!!!
Until later
