Art JourAL Mondays!! ::: Always Just a Thought Away

Hey hey there my artistas!! Okay so it is that time again another Monday another art journal entry .... its love hate for me let me tell ya because I LOVE to create but the biggest challenge is confining myself at times in a box as in: On Mondays you WILL work in your art journal...dont get me wrong it pushes me and I NEED some discipline and besides once I force myself to sit and play (sounds like an oxymoron huh?) I am in the zone and in art bliss...anyway I digress lets get to it;)

So get out your fabric paint (I chose pink and soft blue) wait hold the phone gesso that page first ::panting:: I also decided at this point to modge podge a playing card just for a little dimension.. Okay so spray away dab dab dab! Then get out a script stamp and go crazy; we are building that background. Here is the fun part...get a couple of your favorite stamps I choose a bird, a clock, a corner flourish and a vine pattern (we are going to cheat!!) Stamp these on your page and then draw over them with your black charcoal (look what I drew mom...teehee). I also heat embossed a chandelier in the far right bottom corner... Grab your spray paint I choose a silver and I placed the cap of the spray paint in random places that I wanted to peek through the spray paint. Cut a few words out of a book and modge podge those down, staple half of a prima flower to the vine, draw a few circles with a gold paint marker and VOILA your done. You got messy, you cheated a little, but you created!!! Hey what are you hanging around here for go create something ;) Thanks for looking. If you start an art journal and want to show pleas let me know!!!

ART for a Cause

Hey there lovlies! So I am so so tired..... but I am about to show you what has kept me up all night into the wee hours of the morning every night this week. Back Story::I created a custom Art piece for a foundation that my friends and I have volunteered to help its called "St. Jude's Heros for Children with Leukemia" Well tomorrow night we are holding a silent auction and we are auctioning off everything from football tickets to tattoos (real ones). Turns out when we all pulled our talents together it was pretty easy to scrunge up some things for the auction! So here is my donation, I hope whomever gets it enjoys. These are just a couple of pics I will post some better ones tomorrow my camera died and the lighting was TERRIBLE!!

Hope you likey::

Art JOURAL Mondays!! ::: Rock Out!!

Hi LOVLIES!!!! So its Monday AGAIN. Boy do these come fast. So today I wanted to dedicate my page to one of my besties in the whole world. She really is my rock. So get out your journal, slather some gesso, some water colors, spray paint, yes lovlies I said spray paint, distress ink, Ultra Thick embossing powder for the emboss resist technique, stamps of your choice, a couple of stencils (thats what the spray paint is for), alcohol inks for that strip of transparency that you are going to stamp (with stays on) a sentiment of your choice, a photo (just a black and white copy modge podged to your page will do) a couple of simple prima flowers and last but not least an old postage stamp. Layer layer layer, trick is to dab a rag after each layer...gesso, then watercolor (I choose blue), dab dab, brown and gold spray paint, dab dab, more water color, dab dab, walnut stain distress ink, dab dab and then embelish at will!!
