I meant to behave...

Hello, today I have an art journal page in my 8 inch square Dylusions journal using loads of ArtStack Designs products. I hope you like it, I certainly had fun creating it.
First I started with the roses on vintage music paper from The Homemaker Limited Edition pack, tearing it, to place on either end of the journal page. Adding paint and stenciling across both pages, with more paint and texture paste. I added another layer with Distress Oxide, repeating the stenciling.
While the background dried, I glued down the gorgeous tissue paper girl from the Faces and Figures CoreStack to the pianola paper from The Homemaker pack, allowing some of the words from the pianola paper to show through and the tiny dots. I added flowers to match the border from The Homemaker pack and some from the Anemones and Friends CardStack behind the girl and around the page. Of course no page is complete without a butterfly or 3 ;) My title is from the new Witty Words MiniStack, which I simply cut out into strips.

In honour of Mother's Day!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day, whether you are a mum, grandma or daughter. Lucky for me, I got some time to play...so good! I had just received my pack from 'ArtStacks Design' so couldn't help but grab some of their pretties. Starting with this bunch of flowers from their Anemones and Friends Corestack, so perfect for Mother's Day...or any day for that matter ;)


I had created the background with a mixture of Dina Wakley paints, plus a Tim Holtz stencil, as well as Dina Wakley gloss sprays. Though rather than spraying them, I poured the last bits on my page. Adding the words of wisdom ministack for my title. I love their tissue paper, so easy to tear and use.

Here is the full double page of my art journal. It's so easy to fill a double with this mini art journal album from Dina Wakley.


Thank you for stopping by, it's much appreciated.

Happy crafting!

FOCUS ON FACES - Kraft+ Challenge

 This month's challenge over at Kraft+ Challenges is FOCUS ON FACES. This month we are teaming up with the 'More Than Words' team, so you can enter both challenges with one! How easy is that!

Here's my take on the challenge...luckily I have a few Kraft pages left in my Dina Wakley art journal...

I broke out my Dina Wakley products to create my 'Face your Fears' page ;) from the paint in the background, to the stamps and finally the gorgeous face from her Collage Collective.


My title is created used these cute little letter stamps from Stampin Up!

I hope you'll join us, check out the rest of the gorgeous creations from the team HERE.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate the visits.

Happy crafting!
