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!

Having Fun With Shipping Tags #11

Hi everyone!

Today is totally the opposite of last week's project - in both size and the amount of products used!

I was sorting through my small stencils (those smaller than 12"x12") and I needed more room as I had accumulated a few more that I had no room to store. So, another folder created just for Tim Holtz's Layering and Shifter Stencils!

Yes, I have discovered the shifter stencils, however I did not use them today - watch out for them soon!

So today's task was to use as many stencils and add as many layers as I could. I only used seven stencils but I used twelve different distress inks!!!!

Looking at it, It doesn't seem too busy, restraint was not a necessity in this project so I went for it! And I love how this tag turned out!

Live Stream - Blind3 Challenge Art Journal Page

 Hi everyone!

So today was my usual Wednesday 11am (Australian Eastern Standard Time) and I chose to challenge myself once again with another blind3! Today my choice of mediums was Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks! I blindly selected bundled sage, tumbled glass & brushed corduroy.

There were a few mishaps during this stream - the postman delivering a couple of parcels, my husband attempted to phone me 3 times and my daughter entering my live stream and then calling me LOL. On top of that I had another craft-a-lanch! I knocked over my distress ink tower and all one side fell onto the floor. No major damage but you can see by the pic below I was lucky LOL.

We made it in the end, as always it came together nicely!
