Last post of the night!!!

Tonight I also had to get some art journaling out of my system (I can never get enough art journaling out of my system, pretty sure I could just keep right on journaling) annnnnyway! I was inspired by the simon says stamp and show challenge for this week. Into the woods. I wasn't sure what I was going to do I just opened my book and started playing with paint and viola!


I wish I had more time for art journaling in my life!!!

Just because...

Last card for today! I thought the simon says stamp challenge for this week would be a perfect excuse to use some of my new flower stamps....

Thinking of you

This is my last card for the simon says stamp and show challenge for this week. This one I made today and I had sooooo much fun making it. I cut the little hearts out and used my distress markers/water brush. I thought this came out so cute!

I'm so excited to be on a card making kick... hopefully it lasts haha.

Just a note

Couldn't resist using my small paper pads to make another card for the simon says stamp and show challenge this week! So here it is...

10 years...

This past week my husband and I have been together 10 years! Thats hard to believe. So I wanted to make him something special and when I saw the simon says stamp and show challenge for this week I was excited because it involved using a little bit of paper. Which is perfect for card making! So here is my first card for the week... can't wait for the next 10 years :)

Art journal entry

I was recently inspired by Shari Carroll. I LOVE her art journal entries. And once I started going with it it just all flowed and I got in the zone. Had so much fun making this. I used my new metallic distress stain which I am so head over heals in love with. These are the types of pages I love making the most. This is for the simon says stamp and show challenge which can be found here. So here it is:

Simon says stamp and show challenge: Color

I am barely coming schreeching in at the last minute with this! I got home later than I was expecting and didn't have as much time to work on this as originally planned. But I finished! Even if some of the paint was still a little damp ;) Anyway here is my entry for the Simon says stamp and show challenge! I couldn't pass up the opportunity because I love love love working with any kind of color. Especially inks and paints! My fingers are usually multi-color on the regular. :)
