Hi everyone!

Well I had another attempt at my whimsical house pages and it seems I'm getting worse instead of better. Must remember to take it slowly and not try to finish the page before I have a chance to really look at what I'm doing LOL.

I think I should go back to basics and build from there. Look out for more whimsy! Sorry! LOL

Journal page - Cone Flowers - LIVE STREAM

Hi everyone!

For today's live YouTube stream we created a journal page in my 8"x5 1/2" bee creative watercolor journal.

I wanted to test out the NeoColor II's, Gelatos, Scribble Sticks and Distress Crayons, activating with both water and white gesso. I really love the soft effect this technique gives.

But knowing me, you don't really see much of the background on the completed page with all the added layers. Oh well!

Hi everyone!

Well I tried! Watching Sara (MySerenityCrafts) over on YouTube who suggested we google castle images and draw it from there! I think I could get away with the castle drawing but the colouring and shading leaves a lot to be desired. Good thing my notebook journal can expand to add many pages because it's gonna take that long to get this thing right! LOL

Hi everyone!

Today's page was inspired by Sara (my serenity crafts on YouTube). I have been binge watching Sara's videos for a couple of weeks now. I love her style! It takes me back to my folk art days and my patchwork quilting days. I used to love creating quilts with lots of applique - designs in this style. So when I found Sara I knew I just had to attempt one of her pages.

You can watch Sara's video on how she created this page by CLICKING HERE.

Hi everyone!

I decided I'm really loving the whimsical look of journal pages and so I decided I would create a whole journal dedicated to whimsical houses and scenes. I've made notebook journals and have them sitting on my desk doing nothing so I decided to put them to good use.

This first page is fairly basic, with a background and a few elements on the page but that's it. I'm hoping that with practice I can create great pages using this whimsical theme.
