I put together a quick layout that I wanted to share:
I pulled it together from the samples I've made for my online class. It's a busy, colorful, wonderful layout and I'm thrilled to pieces with it. (And by the way, notice the horrific typo in the journaling? I just
went back and fixed it by overtyping and decided to leave it a bit of a
mess. It adds to the charm of the layout, don't you think?) All those homemade embellishments and papers remind me of how I used to scrap in the "old days" when I couldn't get my hands on any pretty papers or cool embellishments. Of course, it's not like I've stopped doing that. I've had a torrid love affair with creating pages from scratch for a very long time.
This layout…
…was made way back in June 2006. Paint, ink, and some stamps.
This layout…
…was made in September 2007. Paint, ink, stitch, and stickers.
This layout…
…was made in December 2007. Watercolor and Pen.
This layout…
…was made in September 2008. The power of a little paint and some fancy writing with a pen.
This layout…
…is from March of this year. Spray ink, acrylic paint, and pen.
It feels so good to start with an empty piece of paper and then drag a paintbrush around to make something lovely appear. If you'll recall, I wrote a long piece on why I love teaching a month or so ago. This online class has reaffirmed all my beliefs. I feel inspired and rejuvenated and reminded why I do this: It's the magical act of creating something from nothing. Amazes me every single time.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

I remember the hot chocolate one. I think that was one of the first layout/things I saw of yours and really made me love your style and take notice. I realized looking through my layouts I have very little that are from barebones like this. Pretty much all my art journal pages are. I think thats why I like doing them more.
