April Art Journal Page-Recycled Spring

Hello friends!  I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and have been enjoying the wonderful Spring weather outside!  We have all sorts of blooms and buds everywhere which is really exciting to see!  I think I need to trim some lilacs from my bush to put in a jar and enjoy the lovely smell from them!

Today is our monthly AJ page with my crafty friend Carol (from Crafty-Stamper) who is collaborating with me to “SMASH OUR STASH”! We get creative trying to use up our never-ending stash piles along with a prompt for each month.  I know she always has great inspiration to share, so please check out her blog too! Here’s my AJ page with the “SMASH OUR STASH” April prompt of “RECYCLE/UPCYCLE”: 

Flowers are everywhere, so I thought I’d place them all over my page today too!

For my “recycled” elements, I have used a floral napkin in the background which gives it some wonderful texture and I’ve also painted some white paint over it for a “wash” so that it wasn’t so bright and vibrant and too busy for the background.  I splattered some black and gold watercolor over it as well.

I found a darling image with these gorgeous Spring birds perched on the fence, cut it out and popped it up at the bottom with foam tape.

I thought that a strip of gold cardstock (left over from a project) would make a nice bright accent to go with my gold embossed “HELLO SPRING” sentiment and gold splatter.

I’ve also “recycled” an old part of an ATC project and half of a doily to add on the side with the sentiment and I’ve tied some old twine around that ATC panel.

Lastly, I’ve added some flowers and a butterfly from my old collection of ephemera pieces left over from years ago!

  • I hope that you’ve enjoyed my art journal page today and it gives you all the feels of Spring in the air!  I had fun putting this one together!  Thanks so much for dropping in!

March AJ Page-Favorites

Hello friends!  Here we are again at the end of another month!  Although I’ve been really busy this past week, I think I’m ready for March to be over with!  Mainly because of this crazy weather and another because I’ve been busy doing things other than crafting! LOL  (Must be time for that organizing…er as I like to say “agonizing”!)

Today is our monthly AJ page with my crafty friend Carol (from Crafty-Stamper) who is collaborating with me to “SMASH OUR STASH”! We get creative trying to use up our never-ending stash piles along with a prompt for each month.  I know she always has great inspiration to share, so please check out her blog too! Here’s my AJ page with the “SMASH OUR STASH” March prompt of “Favorite Things”: 

I’m sure you might’ve guessed that one of my favorite things to do is obvious on this page!  (This craft room actually looks a bit more organized than mine is currently!)  I did have so much fun with this one!  I’ve used SO many of my favorite things on here:  old stamps, mixed company favorite stamps, foiling, heat embossing, coloring (Copics and watercolor), ink blending, die cutting, fussy cutting, using old paper stash, mix of papers, favorite colors, the subject of stamping, my favorite room, wearing sweats, crafting while sun going down, etc, etc, etc.  Honestly, this was easy, but it could be because I enjoyed putting it together.

For the background:  I used a standard white cardstock base measuring 5.5″x8.5″ and then took some very old Stampin’ Up! paper (Porcelain Prints) to cover the entire size so that I could get the look of wallpaper.  I then used some textured woodgrain cardstock from my stash for the floor, the window and the shelves.  (The shelves were popped up with a foam strip)  I die cut a scallop border in white for the trim above the floor and also die cut a frame for the wall hanging.  The sentiment for the wall hanging was gold heat embossed and placed behind the frame. (I sponged some white clouds in there too.)  The border at the top was printed off my computer and I used another scallop border die to cut it out.  I sponged some brown ink around the edges of the page and added all of the elements.

The stamper girl image was from an old company called “Hambo Stamps” (went out of business several years ago), but I think it’s so cute and funny!  This is where the gold embossed sentiment came from as well.   Had fun coloring her up with my watercolor pens.

For the window, I used the Taylored Expressions Foil It-Dreamscapes along with the coordinating stencils that I received from Virtual Stamp Joy earlier this month.  (I will share my projects in another post later on.)  I also used the TE Arch Windowpanes die set to cut out a frame in the woodgrain cardstock over one of the ink blended panels.

And lastly, the little crafty items on the shelves and floor came from the Lawn Fawn Just Add Glitter stamps & dies.  I stamped and colored those up with Copics to place on the shelves.  I also thought it would be fun to add some glitter spilling from the gold glitter bottle and dumping onto the floor…always a fun thing to happen in the craft room while you ignore it because you’re so intently working on something!

All this page did for me was to remind me that I really need to do more organizing!  I hope you’ve enjoyed my page today and take a hop on over to see Carol’s inspiration too!   Thanks so much for stopping in today!

(P.S.  I’m currently away and it will be a few days before I can reciprocate your comments, but I truly appreciate your kind words of support.)

Art Journal Inspiration-Soul Singing

Hello friends!  I’m back today with one last inspiration for Art Journal Journey to remind you that there are still a few days left to enter your art journal project for this month!  So please be sure to hop on over to the Art Journal Journey Challenge Blog to see the details about how to enter.  I have really enjoyed all of the inspiration from the gallery!  So fun to see what everyone comes up with using my “MUSIC” theme this month!  I thank everyone for having me along as a host and sharing your kindness in welcoming me back this year.

I went with some animals this time:

I’m pretty sure that there has to be some sort of music going on at farm too, right?!  LOL  I found these cute “singing” critters online and thought that a farm scene would be a perfect platform stage for them!  This is also the first time that I’ve ever added an interactive element to an art journal page, so that was fun!

For the background:  Starting with an 8.5″x 5.5″ watercolor paper,  I printed the critters over it in the position that I wanted…this is so that the musical notes showed on the page.

I then used my Kuratake Gansi watercolors and brush to paint a scene starting with blues for the sky, letting that dry and then adding some green hills for the bottom of the scene.  I went over the areas a couple of times to get the look I wanted and let it dry.  I also die cut a green grassy border at the bottom of the page with green cardstock being careful to place it so that it covered the “legs/feet” of all the critters.

More layers over the background:  I used older Tim Holtz stamps to add some texture by stamping brown ink, then I used an old TH stencil and some yellow paint for the “sun rays” around the hill with a sponge to apply it.  I also used a sponge with white ink to stencil over another stencil in areas and lastly, I stamped some musical notes in silver ink in a few places.

Here’s a closer look at some of the details including the critters.  

Since I covered up the critters with the grassy border, I printed out the critters again on a separate piece of cardstock, colored them with Copic markers and fussy cut them out with my scissors.  I attached them over top of the printed out ones on the page so that they align with the music notes above them.  I used more markers to add some darker shadow grounding underneath each critter before permanently attaching to the page.

For the interactive element:  I used a die cut to cut out the pieces for the windmill in the brown, white and silver cardstock pieces.  I then used a circle die to cut a hole in the center of the windmill on the page and then added an element that makes the wheel portion spin in a circle when you spin it with your finger.

I went around the edges with some blue ink for the sky, attached some clouds and then printed out the quote on my computer and cut out each word attached to the page.  I used some blue ink to lightly add to the bottom of each one.

Lastly, I went around the edges of the page along with the edges of each word with a black micron pen and then I used a silver paint pen to go around the edges of the page again.

It’s a pretty flat page, but it made me happy!  What song do you think they’re singing?  

  • I hope you’ve enjoyed my page today as well as my art journal inspiration throughout the month!  Thank you so much for your kindness and support!  See you soon!

February AJ Collab-You Are Enough

Hello friends!  I’m back again today to share some more inspiration with my Art Journaling!

Today starts another AJ page with my crafty friend Carol (from Crafty-Stamper) who is collaborating with me to “SMASH OUR STASH”! We get creative trying to use up our never-ending stash piles along with a prompt for each month.  I know she always has great inspiration to share, so please check out her blog too! Here’s my AJ page with the “SMASH OUR STASH” February prompt of “MUSIC” (of course!): 

Really had fun with this page as it’s got that bright and cheerful background which is a great reminder to yourself especially when the world looks black and white.

I was able to pull out several stash items like the DecoArt Fluid Acrylic Paints, the stamp sets and dies, some of which, I’ve had for a long time and some never used!

For the background:  I started with a canvas cardstock 140# measuring 8.5″x5.5″ and attached a music sheet of the same size over it. (I have tons of sheet music ephemera!)  I then used the DecoArt Fluid Acrylic Paints to go over it in a horizontal bright rainbow.  Once dry, I splattered white paint over it.  I also went around the edges with a black paint marker.

The flowers at the bottom came from the Taylored Expressions Botanical Beauty Background (retired), that I stamped in black and colored with cool grey markers.  I liked that it covered the entire width of my panel.  I used a coordinating die to cut it with and attached to the bottom.  I layered a black strip at the very bottom…because I thought it needed it.  

Moving to the top of the page, I used a Lawn Fawn Little Heart Strings border die cut out with some shimmer vellum.  (I also used the same vellum for the butterfly wings.)  I attached this to the top of the page with double sided adhesive strip.  I glued down the tiny hearts. This is the first time I’ve used this die because I had to cut it apart!  The butterfly dies came from a very old My Favorite Things die set that is no longer available…not sure of the name even.  The sentiment at the top over the heart string border came from the Taylored Expressions “You Are” that was white heat embossed over black cardstock and cut out with the coordinating die.  I attached it over the border.

Lastly, I used my Cricut Machine to cut out some single music notes in black glossy cardstock and I attached those to the center of the die cut butterflies.  I used some black Stickles glitter and put “dots” on the heart strings border, the butterflies and the center of the flowers.

Here’s a song that inspired me for this page:  

and if you need to hear this today,  just know that YOU ARE ENOUGH too

Art Journal Inspiration-Happiness, Harmony & Joy

Hello friends!  Brr!  It’s a very cold start to the week over my way, so that means I’m staying inside the warmth and crafting up some fun to share!  I’m really enjoying putting together these pages this month as I get to pull some things from my stash that I’ve really been wanting to play with.  This gives me a chance to use things for myself in whatever way I want because I don’t give these pages away and I think I find it to be a bit more “freeing” to do or try things that I may not normally do on a card.  

Maybe I can encourage you to try something for yourself!  I have more inspiration to share for the “MUSIC” prompt I’m hosting this month at Art Journal Journey:

For this page, I pulled out an AALL & Create stamp set that I’ve been wanting to use “Call the Tune” and I wanted to use the trumpet from the set.  I always think of trumpets as a bold and happy musical tune, so I thought flowers and my favorite colors would make me feel happy too!

For the background:  I started with an 8.5″x5.5″ watercolor panel and watered down some purple and turquoise acrylic paints so that I could use them like watercolor.  Once dry,  I attached some musical note tissue paper off the side and I also stamped the trumpet image in black on the top of the page.  I then used the flower image and gold heat embossed it on the bottom and top of the page.  I then took some black paint to splatter over it.   Lastly, I took the AALL & Create Reverse Triangles Stencil and some metallic white embossing paste over it in random areas.  Once that was dry, I went around the edges with the black Distress Crayon.

Moving towards the bottom of the page, I stamped the flower image twice, colored them with Copic markers and fussy cut them out to line the bottom of the page.  Before attaching them, I splattered them with gold watercolor and white Copic Opaque.  I also used the black Distress Crayon to go underneath the flowers before I attached them.

The musical notes were cut from my Cricut Machine with black glossy cardstock.  I also attached a few select words from the AALL & Create Motivation Station Ephemera pack and used a black marker to line around each one.

I stamped another trumpet image and colored it with Copic markers and then fussy cut around the colored images to attach over the black image I stamped on the page.  I even used a knife to go in between the sections of the trumpet.  It was a bit tedious, but worth it.

I finished the page off with some gold Stickles in the center of the flowers for a touch of sparkle because sparkle makes me happy too!

  • So what do you think?  Does this page bring happiness to you?  It gets me looking forward to Spring and seeing some flowers grow!  I’m going to go check out the fun musical inspiration in the Art Journal Journey gallery and I hope you check it out too!  Thanks for dropping by today and I’ll see  you soon!

Art Journal Inspiration-For Those About to Rock

Hello friends!  I hope you’re having a great start to your week!  We’re supposed to be getting some snow coming in tomorrow, but this will be the first heavy snowfall that we’ve had all winter!  I can’t complain too much and I enjoy looking at the snowfall. (from my window that is! LOL)

When I’m playing in my craft room, I enjoy listening to music.  I enjoy all sorts of genres and will listen to pretty much anything, as for me, it’s another form of art to appreciate.   Speaking of genres, I have more inspiration to share for the “MUSIC” prompt I’m hosting this month at Art Journal Journey:

My husband and I both like the “classic rock” and there are several bands that we grew up listening to over the years.  So if you know rock, then you know the lyrics on the guitar pick comes from an AC/DC song!

For the background:  I started with a 8.5″x5.5″ canvas paper 140# (using the backside without the canvas texture) and attached some printed paper of several music bands I found online.  I ripped some sections and then covered it with white gesso to lighten it up…I wanted it faintly in the background.  I took a vortex circle stencil and sprayed it with oxide sprays in Fired Brick and Salvaged Patina.  I then splattered some white and black paint over it and also added some splattering with silver watercolor.  I sponged some grey ink around the edges and then used a black distress crayon to go along the edges to darken it more.

I stamped the guitar, colored it and positioned it in the center of the circle and then stamped a few music notes around it in the background.

I used my Cricut machine to create the layers of flames at the bottom.  The guitar pick was found online, printed and cut out.  I went around the edges of that with a black distress crayon as well.  I placed a black sparkle strip at the bottom and cut some stars with silver foil cardstock.  I black heat embossed the hand and punched it out with a circle punch to pop up on the largest silver star.

Lastly, I’ve used some rub-ons for the stitching details and then went around each star with a black pen.

Here’s a closer look at some more of the details at the bottom of the page.

 

A few years ago, we went to the Rock & Roll museum in Cleveland, OH during a road trip the following year after COVID.  It was a fun museum!

We were standing in front of the museum and we were trying to get the entire sign in view of the photo… it was cool and rainy that day.

I took a photo of the AC/DC display with some clothing, guitars and even some song lyrics they had wrote down.  It was pretty cool as most of the items were donated to the museum from the artists themselves.  Some of it was really weird and random, but very interesting!

(The items on the right were from Angus Young of AC/DC)

(The Jack Daniel’s guitar is from Michael Anthony of Van Halen)

Art Journal Inspiration-Sing From Your Heart

Hello friends!  When it’s winter time, something I miss hearing are those birds happily chirping throughout the day.  We get the occasional bird chirp, but nothing like it is when the weather is warm.

So in honor of those singing birds, I have more inspiration to share for the “MUSIC” prompt I’m hosting this month at Art Journal Journey:

I had fun putting this one together with a quirky bird who’s singing with all his heart!

For the background:  I started with a 5.5″x8.5″ Bristol Smooth cardstock piece so that I could do some ink blending.  With a stencil, I inked over it with Salt Water Taffy oxide and then painted over it with a layer of white gesso.  (I was trying to keep the colors soft and light.)  I then took a different stencil and sprayed over it with Speckled Egg Oxide Spray and then used the left over from that in other places.  I then took Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn and Salvaged Patina oxide inks to go over the rest of the stenciled layers until I got the look I wanted.  I used a water spray over top and then splattered white paint over the page for more texture.

For the bird: I cut out the body, wing and beak shape in different pattern papers, used a distress crayon rubbed along the edges and pieced it together with the wing being popped up with foam tape.  I used a pen to doodle around the bird and create the legs.  The eye and heart on the bird were punched out pieces. (the heart paper is from a music sheet scrap)

The words were printed on my computer over some pattern paper.  While the ink was still wet from the printer, I clear heat embossed over it.  I cut out each word and attached over page.  I took a pen to doodle around each section.  I also doodled around the edges of the entire page with the same pen.

Lastly, I took some white paint and brushed a “heart bubble” coming from the bird’s beak.  I stamped a few music notes inside the bubble with brown ink.  I also stamped a few solid hearts around the words in pink ink to finish it off.

  • I hope you like my page today and have been inspired to play along with us this month!  I have enjoyed seeing all of the wonderful inspiration so far in the gallery!  Thanks so much for stopping in and I’ll be seeing you soon!

Art Journal Journey Host for February-MUSIC

Hello friends and welcome to February!  Hoping that wherever you are that this is a great month for you!  This month I’m excited to be the host over at Art Journal Journey for my second year!  So be on the look-out for several art journal pages from me this month!

For my prompt, I was feeling a musical theme🎵 would be a broad area to cover for art journaling.  You could pull out some old sheet music, use music notes and/or instruments, song titles and/or lyrics, musical quotes, etc.  I look forward to seeing all of the musical inspiration in the gallery, so I hope you can join too!  Here’s my first sample page to get started:

I had made a card a few years back that I made my own piano, but in a smaller scale size and I thought it would be fun to try and incorporate that idea onto a page.

For the background:  I started with my usual size 5.5″ x 8.5″ cold press 140# watercolor paper and used a ruler to line ” white keys” for the piano at the bottom with a black marker.  I cut strips of black glossy cardstock for “black keys” and attached them over top.  BEFORE attaching the sheet music in the center, I attached some baby wipes to a ruler with rubber bands and dropped watercolor in rainbow on it.  I then dragged the ruler down several times to achieve the rainbow pattern at the top.  (I made a video a few years back if you want to see how it’s done on a card HERE.)  

I die cut a scallop curved border on the sheet music and added some black ink around the edges before attaching in the center of the page so that the piano keys and rainbow pattern shows.  I then took some gold watercolor and splattered over the page but covering the piano keys to prevent them from getting splatter.

Once the background and piano was done, I die cut the “music” lettering from more of the glossy black cardstock and added a musical note brad next to it.  I took a white gel pen and wrote the quote in the center and then lined that black strip and the keyboard area with strips of gold metallic paper.

  • Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you’ve enjoyed my art journal page today and have been inspired to play along too!  I look forward to seeing your musical inspiration in the Art Journal Journey gallery soon!

January 2025 “NEW” Art Journal Page-Smashing Our Stash Continues!

Hello friends!  I hope you’ve had a great month so far and staying crafty while also trying to keep warm and cozy!  Thank you for your kind support with my crafting journey and I’m so happy you’re here however you like to follow along.❤️

Today is the start of another year of art journaling and I’m thrilled that my crafty friend Carol (from Crafty-Stamper) is collaborating with me again this year to “SMASH OUR STASH”! We get creative trying to use up our never-ending stash piles along with a prompt for each month.  I know she always has great inspiration to share, so please check out her blog too! Here’s my AJ page with the “SMASH OUR STASH” January prompt of “NEW” (challenge/technique): 

As you know, we are forever trying to “smash our stash” and included within that stash are possibly some “new” stash or something that hasn’t been used before.  But if that’s not the case, then that’s totally fine too because there always seems to be a new “challenge” to over come or something like a new “technique” that you’ve always wanted to try and using up your stash helps with that too!  I’ve done this on my page in several ways…

NEW = art journal book used here.  I have a few AJ books that I haven’t used at all, so I pulled this one out which is a 5.5″ x 8.5″ spiral mixed media book.  I’ve never worked from a book before and not sure I like it as the pages do curl up on me and you can see that I’ve clipped it along the side to keep it from curling.  Going forward, I might make a separate page and then attach it to the book.  I’ve been so used to making my own book, so this was a new “challenge” for me to try.  If you art journal, how do you like to compile your pages together?

NEW = technique used for background with distress crayons.  I have a tin full of those distress crayons and I’ve barely even touched them, so I found a fun technique to try by taking a dotted stencil and applying gesso over the blank page.  I used several colors of the distress crayons to rub over the stenciled paint and then blended it together with a baby wipe.  It was fun!  (I’ve also used a black distress crayon around the edges of the page and went over the words inside the heart with a white distress crayon to mute it a bit.)

NEW = Lunar Paste colors used through a stencil.  I bought several colors of these metallic/shinny pastes last year and never broke them open, so I thought this would be a good time to see what they look like and they’re really pretty!

NEW = alphabet die letters used.  I got these set of alphabet dies with upper and lower case and haven’t had a chance to use them until this page.  I like that it includes both upper and lower because it seems you always have to get them separately.  

A closer view of the heart that I die cut.  I pulled out some cardstock in coordinating colors to match up with the distress crayons in the background and made strips with stamping words and then placing them together on the heart that I cut off the edges to keep the shape.

I was going for a “happy” rainbow style with all of it, but not sure after looking at it as I think it may be a bit too much/busy.  But, I’m just going to go with it and be happy! LOL  

I hope you’ve enjoyed my page today or at least have been inspired in some way!  Thank you for stopping in and I’ll see you soon!

December Art Journal Page-SNOW

**DON’T FORGET TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY I’M OFFERING IN THIS POST – OR SCROLL BELOW THIS POST TO SEE!**

Hello crafty friends!  I hope that you all had a happy Christmas time with your loved ones and friends!  2025 is quickly approaching us and I know there will be lots of changes coming to look forward to!  Although I’m not feeling 100%, so I think I’m going to rest for the remainder of what’s left of the year🤒.

Today is the monthly Art Journal Page collaboration with my crafty friend, Carol (from Crafty-Stamper)! We get creative trying to use up our never-ending stash piles along with a prompt for each month.  I know she always has great inspiration to share, so please check out her blog too! Here’s my AJ page with the “SMASH OUR STASH” December prompt of “FOUND OBJECT(S)” (something you found or discovered):  (I’ve also combined 2 other past prompts with this one that I’ve missed out on earlier in the year!)

SNOW SNOW SNOW!  I know people that hate it and people that love it!  Whatever YOUR favorite place to be with it…or not…mine is being inside the warmth and watching it from the window!  I don’t mind shoveling if I need to help my husband, but I enjoy watching it peacefully from the window.

The prompt for THIS month (December) is “Found object(s)” and I found some VERY pretty blue ribbon on a present this year and decided to keep it…and I have plenty left for another project!  I used it above the die cut window.  (This page is my normal 5.5″ x 8.5″ with pre-punched holes at the top…I would have a book finished, but I wasn’t feeling well enough to get one done, so I’ll have to do it later.)

And for the other prompts I’ve missed this year:  August I was away and didn’t get to complete that one and the prompt for that month was “Vintage/Old“.  The background wallpaper area looks vintage to me and it came from a VERY old pack of paper that I’ve had along with the letters on the side of the window.  I also missed November and the prompt for that month was “Food“.  I love me a good cup of cocoa in the winter and I thought I would make myself some Linzer cookies to add with it in the shape of snowflakes with frosting on them!  I even took a bite out of the one in front of the cup!

Since I’m not feeling well, I’m going to stop typing and get some sleep now.  Please let me know if you have any questions about the page as I’d be happy to answer!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop in!  I really appreciate it and will try to reciprocate when I feel better.  Happy New Year friends and I’ll see you in 2025!
