 Hi everyone

This page was the first page I've done in almost three years! The recent few I've uploaded were done way back in 2019 - I had only just edited and uploaded them.

It's weird how similar this page is to the previous page (#243).

I am enjoying getting back into my art journals and playing.

 Hi everyone!

This page was done almost 3 years ago! I struggled to work out what paints and mediums I used on this page so I apologise for that. I am now back into my art journaling and feeling much better so look out for weekly videos and weekly live streams! Please let me know what you would like to see me do.

Hi everyone!

Today's page was inspired by the fact that I saw a video from Tim Holtz previewing his new distress oxide SPRAYS! It just made me want to use my oxide inks LOL. By the way, I have pre-ordered the new distress oxide sprays, so look out for journal pages using these :)

Hi everyone!

Seems like I'm still on the 'HOPE' feeling with my page today. HOPING (no pun intended) things lighten up soon!

Today's page (the colours anyway) was inspired by my grandson, Justin. I'd recently made an altered file folder for his sister, Amelia, and Justin said he'd like one also. I asked him what colours he wanted and he replied 'gray, blues and light purple'. That's where my background colours came from today!

Only once the background was done did I decide to slap an image on it, a quote and call it done LOL.

Hi everyone!

Today's page is the first page I've done since before Christmas! It is a reflection on personal events that have happened to our family over the holiday period.

I have not been very active on social media during this time but have watched videos and live streams (lurking, not actually participating in the chat). This page was totally inspired by Coleen's live stream. Coleen is The Scrapchic on YouTube and links to Coleen's channel and the video by which I was inspired are below:
