Hi everyone!

My last page for the year (even though I didn't edit it and upload it until 2023) was done in my 5 1/2 x 8 1/4" mixed media journal.

I had bought the Toadstool Town stamp set early on in December and I just had to use them. So I used all but 2 of the stamps on this page. I didn't know what the title was or where it was going until towards the end when I added the lone bird without wings on the mushroom, then it came to me! However, this page took me 4 1/2 hours to complete!

You can watch the full process video over on my YouTube channel by clicking here.

ATC Background Play - LIVE STREAM

Hi everyone!

This stream is in two parts because I forgot to change the first stream to PUBLIC so it recorded as a PRIVATE stream. The links to both streams are below:

Part 1
Part 2

The background of my ATC today is based on the visit from Janet, Zandra and Carol (aka cb). They came over to Australia late April and stayed a few weeks and I spent most of the time with them in Brisbane, Melbourne and the Hunter Valley. We had such an awesome time that I had to create something from all the receipts (from the shopping we did) instead of throwing them out. So they are all buried in amongst the ATC background here.

You can watch the full recorded streams by clicking on the links above titled Part 1 and Part 2.

Hi everyone!

Today's page was based solely on using the StencilGirl stencils I'd received as being invited to be a guest blogger on their site. I used two of the three stencils I'd received for today's page.

I started off working on the background by applying acrylic paints with a wet baby wipe and I really loved the softness and the blending this technique gave the page. Then all I had to do was add the stencils and title and voila! Quick and easy and fun!
