I have been bitten by the art journaling bug! I went to Michaels and found this cute art journal by Dylusions. I love that it is more managable for me just starting out. Its about 8"x5". I first started with the inside cover. I used gesso over the front and added layers of paint. I added a doily and some other embellishments using Ranger Multi Medium which is great for adhering and sealing items. I added some stamping for the title of my journal. The large alpha stamps are the Alyra alpha stamp set from Studio Calico. The smaller alphas are the inexpensive small wood letter stamps you can find at Michaels or other craft stores.
I have just started but will be sharing more pages as I create them. Things are a bit hectic in my house right now because my daughter, son in law and grandson are all staying with us. They had a huge leak in their home and the whole kitchen area downstairs has to be completely ripped out and redone. Yeah....a big job! So they will be here for a couple of weeks it appears. Creative time has to now be planned around naps and bedtime since my studio is now my grandsons sleeping room! I'm not complaining...I love having them around and they are no problem whatsoever! But it is a little different for these empty nesters who have learned to enjoy and crave their space! So what do we do...make it a party! Hopefully will be able to get some crafting done again soon!
Hope you have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!
