My First Art Journal Page!

002

Hi friends!  Sorry I’ve been MIA this past week but our granddaughter came back to visit :)  I’ve also been playing with some new mixed media in the form of art journaling!  Yes, I’ve caught the bug!  Then all this happy mail arrived! LOL

Photo: Ink sprays in da house! I went a little crazy!

I’ve been reading and viewing videos on it and WOW there is SO much out there!  Kind of like when I discovered card blogs so many years ago.  I’ve been smitten by so many artists, but Sandra over at Sandyart Designs is one that really has touched my heart.  I LOVE her collaged images and doodling :)  Even though this is my very first try, I’m entering it in the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge.

I’ve used embossing paste through a circle stencil to add raised dots in the upper left hand corner.  I took one of my favourite quotes from my Pinterest Board and used the OLD collage alphabet from Stampin’ Up to stamp out the words!  I knew there was a reason I never got rid of it! LOL  It’s not perfect, but that’s Art Journaling.  I think I’m going to love this new freedom!  Thanks for stopping by!  The blog will get busier now as I’ve got lots of DT stuff to share! Yay!

You and others are inspiring to at least try embossing paste :) Mixed media scares me for some reason! I love what you've created. Fabulous sentiment and such a vibrant design Moe.

This is incredible, Moe! Love the vibrant colors and the fabulous quote. You made me look at that dylusions border in a whole new light. I'm pretty sure I have that stencil stashed away and now I NEED to use it!
