Hi everyone!

Working in my whimsy houses journal today I go back to my folk art roots!

I'm trying to find all sorts of whimsical houses to paint and came across this image during a google search and decided I would have to paint it!

First though I had to trace it and transfer it on the page as there was no way on this earth I was going to do it justice if I drew it!

Then it was just having so much fun adding colour and detail to it!

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!

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.
