So check out my newest ATC! I added some paint because I wasn't a fan of the background. Then I went to town with adding other details.
I'm entering my ATC into the following challenge:
What are some of your favorite supplies? Thanks for visiting and come back soon!
It's kinda funny...I have lots of different kinds of adhesives. I've got tapes, dots, foam squares in different sizes, fabric glue, tacky glue, as well as gel medium. They all have their uses. Art journaling, scrapbooking, mixed media. And I find myself using at least a few in any project I'm working on. But my current obsession has got to be gel medium. Granted I have to brush it on, but it's great for working with so many different types of elements and dried pretty quickly so you can keep working.
Seriously, this stuff is amazing! It works for tissue paper, book paper, magazine cut outs, mixing with paint for texture or using through stencils. So well worth the price!
My previous ATC used tissue paper and I used The Crafter's Workshop Gel Medium to attach the tissue paper. It worked great, both to adhere the paper and cover the edges so I could work on top without issue. I used it again on this ATC with the same tissue paper, though it's hard to see. There's a peek of it near the bottom by the words "SPEAK UP." I also added some Craftsmart acrylic paint in Ocean Breeze; just swiping it on with my finger. Plus some drips from Liquitex Carbon Black Liquid Ink.
The heart is cardstock I ran through my Cuttlebug in a Tim Holtz embossing folder. I grabbed some lime green paint and my brayer, intending to add the paint to the raised image on the cardstock. It picked up some of the OCean Breeze, so I added more then drew and cut out a heart. I also stamped a Dylusions border stamp on the left.
I stamped the sentiments on cardstock and used a paint pen to fill in the larger letters. And I used my Sharpie and paint pens to add the doodles and splatters. My unicorn girl id a digi stamp from Oddball Art colored with colored pencils, as well as Tombow and Artist's Loft markers.
I'm also entering my tag in the following challenges:

There's obviously lots of elements to this ATC, hehe. Which one's your favorite? Let me know in the comments! And stop by again!
Anyone have a teenager in your life? If so, then you can definitely relate to this tag, heh. I think at some point in adolescence, everyone has to deal with a moody teenager. Not that attitude is limited to teenagers, far from it! So I wanted to pay a little homage to the sass we all can exhibit from time to time.
I covered a vintage tag in gesso and used my Dylusions sprays and my stencils to start a nice background. Then I used more stencils and paint to add some more patterns. I also smeared some watered down orange paint then added my other elements. Inspired by my Dylusions border stamps, I doodled the border. I grabbed some tissue paper from a package I had received and hand cut a star, and used The Crafter's Workshop Gel Medium to adhere the tissue paper star. I stamped the word "ATTITUDE" with my alpha stamp and my Archival Black Ink, and colored an Oddball Art boy digi stamp with my Tombow markers. I also adhered a couple Tim Holtz gears and colored some little chipboard alphas with my Uni Posca green paint pen and adhered them as well. I threaded some yarn through the top and my tag was finished.

What do you think of the tag? Let me know in the comments and thank you for stopping by!
This tag is about daydreaming, and the fun that can be had when you're off in the clouds. I pushed gesso through a stencil, then diluted Artist's Loft Turquoise and Tim Holtz Ripe Persimmon paint with water and used paintbrushes to put a wash of both colors on the tag. Then I used a brayer to put black paint on the gesso circles from the stencil. After that it was a simply matter of adhering all the elements: punchinella, a die-cut star from Oddball Art, and two handdrawn clouds made from underpaper and gelli prints. I added a few beads to the end of the string as well. I finished with Sharpie pen doodle outlining and white paint splatters.

Hi everyone! I'm sure at least some of you are in full holiday mode. I know I am. Busy, busy, busy, but I'm still making time for crafting. I'm trying a new format, so please feel free to comment and let me know what you think!
I'm entering my ATC into the following challenge:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
So this is from a long forgotten project of mine. I attached a couple different pieces of old Amy Tangerine patterned paper to cardstock, then played around a bit. I discovered it recently and cut the 12x12 paper into a bunch of ATCs. For this one I added some stamping and paint through a stencil in the background. My stamping was done with Ranger Archival Ink and green dye ink. I mixed mint and Titanium White and put it through a stencil. I colored a wreath from Oddball Art with my Tombow and Artist's Loft markers and cut the frame with some patterned paper and a wonky frame die. The letters are from my stash.

I hope you like the ATC! Let me know what you think in the comments and have a great day!
Greetings everybody! Welcome back and thank you so much for visiting. I'm sharing the next page in my mini art journal for the Art Marks Challenge by Rae Missigman and Sandi Keene.
Day 28 - Believe
I'm also entering the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
For some Art Marks Challenge history, you can click here. And Rae's Instagram account here shows what she made for each prompt. My journal is very simple. A bunch of envelopes held together with some baker's twine. Rae actually taped her pages into an already existing super chunky journal, which I think it an awesome idea. It helps me to remember to think outside the box. And to remember that there are always options when it comes to art.
For Day 28, the prompt is believe. Beliving in yourself is a powerful thing. It's not always easy, and I don't know about you, but I struggle with it on a daily basis. Belief in general is a powerful emotion. It's capable of allowing you to do amazing things. I'm not talking arrogance, but knowing you can do something. Not exactly hope, but belief is also very powerful. Belief can also be snarky, which is why I used a Dylusions stamp set for my sentiment on this page.
I started with a gelli print and used a white paint marker to outline a bunch of details. I also smeared the page with a Sakura solid paint marker in fluorescent orange and used the end of a paintbrush to do some scribbles in the paint. I used my Cuttlebug and a die-cut set to cut some flags from some scraps of patterned paper and grabbed the leftover scrap from a heart I had cut freehand. I also added a skull digi stamp from Oddball Art that I colored with colored pencils and Tombow markers and colored pencils. I also added doodles with a sharpie pen and some lovely drips with some Liquitex Ink in carbon black.
Thank you so much for coming by and I hope you enjoyed this art journal page. Bye for now!
Hello everyone! Thank you for joining me, I'm so happy to see you! Life has been busy to say the least, but I'm working to share my last three pages of my Art Marks Challenge mini art journal, that was done back in September by Rae Missigman and Sandi Keene.
Day 27 - Rest
I'm also entering the following challenges:
For some Art Marks Challenge history, you can click here. And Rae's Instagram account here shows what she made for each prompt. I made a little art journal out of envelopes and baker's twine. Simple but effective. Though what Rae did with her pages was amazing, while also being simple. She has this chunky journal with a fabric cover and she used tape to add her challenge pages to the existing journal. Really amazing. It reminds me to not stick to doing things only one way. That there are always options when it comes to art.
How do you rest? What does it mean to rest? You can also be rest assured that you are doing the best that you can. Sometimes that's not the usual path or sometimes some people are going to be completely against it, for any number of reasons. However, self-confidence is important.
Have you ever lost track of time? Or lost track of days on the calendar? Yup, I have so been there! With all that we have going on in life, between marriage, kids, work, life in general? Sometimes it's a wonder I get anything done, know what I mean? I try to keep track of everything. Reminders, lists, notes. It can certainly be a lot. And so it was that I discovered I had I completely overlooked this page from my previous sneak peek. Whoops!
I'm backtracking and showing off Day 25 in my mini art journal that I made for the September Art
Marks Challenge from
Rae Missigman and Sandi Keene. I'm in the home stretch and I think you'll really like the rest.
Day 25 - Root
I'm also entering the following challenges:
For some Art Marks Challenge history, you can click here. And Rae's Instagram account here shows what she made for each prompt. I made a little art journal out of envelopes and baker's twine. Simple but effective. Though what Rae did with her pages was amazing, while also being simple.

That there are always options when it comes to art.
Root can mean a lot of things. Putting down roots usually means one's life is becoming more stable, like buying a house or perhaps someone getting married, even having a child. It's usually a cause for celebration in some respect. Putting down roots is something to feel good about, if not a bit nervous. You can also root for something. Maybe you're cheering someone on in a new endeavor. Or patting yourself on the back for a positive change in your life. Everyone needs a cheerleader. It can help calm your nerves from a big event. Sometimes even something that is not huge in the grand scheme, but big for you or someone you know, such as a big test or a personal milestone. I find myself rooting for myself because as I said, everyone needs a cheerleader to help accomplish goals and celebrate when those goals are accomplished.
I started this page with underpaper and pretty much kept the background as is. Using several different colors of paint and a few stencils, including Dylusions Stars stencil, I kept the white space already existing on this page. Now I'll be the first to say I love layers, different colors, and getting texture going. But I do try to experiment and step outside the box every so often. Though funny enough I also have a box on this page, compliments of a rubber and wood stamp I have from Amy Tangerine. I don't even remember where I got it. I believe it was a set. The wood is a big thick block with good old-fashioned rubber attached to give the image. In this case, the frame.
Using a digi stamp from Oddball Art, I colored it with colored pencils and pulled a die-cut from my stash. And used my Sharpie pen and Uni Posca white paint marker for doodles. I really like my white pant marker. Its solid and has a fine point tip, which allows for different types of markings, both thick and thin. It can be hard to find nice white markers, especially because the tips can end up absorbing some of the color you writing or doodling over. This marker creates lots of possibilities for using them in your art.
A lot of my paint comes from here. There's so many luscious varieties to choose from and allow for layering without making mud.
Well hello! For those who saw my sneak peek, earlier, welcome back. If not, you're still in a for a treat!
Today I'm sharing the next page in my mini art journal for the September Art Marks Challenge from Rae Missigman and Sandi Keene.
Day 26 - Replenish
I'm also entering the following challenges:
Creative Fingers Challenge #264
For some Art Marks Challenge history, you can click here. And Rae's Instagram account here shows what she made for each prompt. I made a little art journal out of envelopes and baker's twine. Simple but effective. Though what Rae did with her pages was amazing, while also being simple. She has this chunky journal with a fabric cover and she used tape to add her challenge pages to the existing journal. Really amazing. It reminds me to not stick to doing things only one way. That there are always options when it comes to art.
To replenish usually means to refill, in a sense. However, sometimes, if you take a break to replenish, you actually change something. Taking time to replenish also is a time for introspection. Sometimes that involves change. You realize as you're refilling the tank, that you need to make changes to refill the tank. What do you need to replenish? How do you do it? Have you ever taken time away to refill your tank and realized you needed to make changes in order to do that? Or to make your refill last longer?
Sometimes I get intimidated by a blank page, and sometimes I get intimidated by a page filled with color and marks. The background for this page is a small section of underpaper. I really liked what was on the paper, but I still struggled. I wanted to keep certain parts but I wasn't sure how. So I decided to cover it up a bit and then add to it. I first used a scribble stencil with some black paint. And I thought about how while replenishing my energy, I've realized I've had to make changes. I grabbed a couple die-cuts that were in that vein, and then used some card packing I had saved with the graph paper design and cut a scalloped border to go along the bottom, outlining it with my orange Uni Posca paint marker.
The fairy and the heart are digi stamps, from Oddball Art and Octopode Factory respectively, and colored with Tombow markers and colored pencils. Then I used my Sakura Solid white paint marker and emerald green Uni Posca paint marker to make my top scalloped border. I use paint markers a lot, and while I could use regular paint and a think paintbrush, a paint marker with a fine point works much better, especially if you're in a situation where you can't have the extra supplies. It also helps with doodles. It's much easier to doodle with a paint marker because it's like a pen. So I have several paint markers from a few different brands. Although not all paint markers are the same. Some paint markers have different tips, so it is important to consider what you want to do with the paint markers.
In general, getting my paint from here
works out very well for me. Even the store brand is good quality. Sometime you have to do a couple layers to get a good coat, but it all depends on how opaque you want the paint layer. I find that sometimes I like the thinner layer so the underneath layers peek through. That gives my art texture and dimension, which I love.
Welcome back my friends! I shared a sneak peek, and as promised, this post will have all the details and pictures! I'm so glad you could join me today!
I'm sharing another page in my mini art journal for the Art Marks Challenge from Rae Missigman and Sandi Keene.
Day 22 - Less
I'm also entering my page into these challenges:
For some Art Marks Challenge history, you can click here. And Rae's Instagram account here shows what's she's making for each prompt. For those who haven't seen my previous posts yet, I'm working in a mini art journal I made out of envelopes, but you can use many different things, including scrap or underpaper, so some pages already had stuff on them. A hole punch and some baker's twine later and a mini art journal for the challenge ready for art!
I've mostly posted individual pages. This challenge has been very interesting thus far, because it makes you think. Sometimes a good brain dump on your art journal page is just what you need. Whether it's actual writing that you incorporate, writing that your art covers up, or the art itself represents the brain dump.
For this prompt, I had to really consider it, especially because I like putting more on my pages, not less. However, there's more than one way to have less or be less. I think it's more that some people need less self-doubt, less hurt, less being stuck. So I think this page works well.
My page started as some mop up paint and and then I added part of a gelli print on deli paper to add more dimension. One stencil I used on the gelli print is The Crafter's Workshop Pie Chart with green paint. I added black paint from Artist's Loft through a Dylusions border stencil, and a eyeball flower digit stamp from Oddball Art.
I also used the bigger plus signs/"X"'s from a Balzer Designs stamp set with Ranger Archival black ink, as well as a triangle stamp with ColorBox Blue Lagoon pigment ink. You can also see where I added some doodles tracing the chevron part of the pie chart stencil with one of my favorite supplies, paint markers. In this case, a Uni Posca paint marker in Emerald Green. This paint marker is a weird one because the color doesn't look at all green, but it's still a wonderful color.
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my art journal page. Bye for now!
Oh hello!! I'm so glad you chose to stop by today. How are you, my friends? I'm sharing the next page in my little art journal for the Art Marks Challenge from Rae Missigman and Sandi Keene.
Day 21 - Grace
I'm also entering my page into these challenges:
To learn some Art Marks Challenge history, you can click here. And Rae's Instagram account here shows what's she made for each prompt. If you're just starting to read my blog, first of all, welcome! For this challenge I made a little art journal out of envelopes and some baker's twine. You can be as simple or as fancy as you like. If you use paper that's from other projects, it just means those pages will already have leftover painting, stamping, or stamping. That's makes a great jumping off point, for those who have difficulty with a blank page. That's a difficulty I run into, staring at a blank page and wondering where to start. It can be fun, but also a chance to overthink instead of getting something down and just playing.
Some days about this challenge have been, dare I say, a challenge. I've thought about all of them, but a few have given me real pause. A good brain dump can be helpful, though whether it becomes part of your page or covered up. There's no wrong answer
In thinking about grace, I thought about all the different meanings, and there's actually a lot. I looked this one up in the dictionary, because I was curious. One of several definitions speaks to showing kindness. And I would love more kindness in the world. I think we all need to show ourselves a little more kindness. Not a blank check for excuses, but understanding that one person can only do so much.
My background is another section of gelli print and I went to town on this pages with the doodling, mostly, if not completely, with my amazing Uni Posca white paint marker. I seriously love this paint marker. Finding a good white paint marker can be difficult, but my Uni Posca stays opaque and looks just wonderful.
I used several different stencils, which is the fun of gelli printing! You grab some paint, grab your stencils or stamps, and just play. Twist the paper at weird angles for different designs. Use colors together that would normally make mud. The possibilities are endless! I added a star digi stamp from Oddball Art colored with colored pencils. The arrow is a die-cut from my stash that I altered with supplies from my stash, including Sakura Gelly Roll pens. These pens, oh my gosh, can I tell you? I love them! The coverage is opaque and the colors are delicious.
I did also stamp a border stamp from my Dylusions Inbetweenies stamp set and Archival black ink. Have I mentioned how much I love Dylusions? They're just so snarky and fun! Yes, I love a bunch of my supplies. I can't help it.
Thank you so much for coming by and I hope you enjoyed this art journal page. Bye for now!
Hi there my crafty friends!
I'm so glad you're visiting! I have another page in my mini art journal for the Art Marks Challenge from Rae Missigman and Sandi Keene.
Day 17 - Poise
I'm also entering my page into the following challenge:
Creative Fingers Challenge #262
For some Art Marks Challenge history, you can click here. And Rae's Instagram account here shows what's she's making for each prompt. For those who haven't seen my previous posts yet, I'm working in a mini art journal I made out of envelopes, but you can use many different things, including scrap or underpaper, so some pages already had stuff on them. A hole punch and some baker's twine later and a mini art journal for the challenge ready for art!
I've mostly posted individual pages, and I do plan to post them all. This challenge has been very interesting thus far, because it makes you think. Not that I mind thinking. Sometimes a good brain dump on your art journal page is just what you need. Whether it's actual writing that you incorporate, writing and your art covers it up, or the art itself represents the brain dump.
For this day's prompt, Poise, what defines poise to you? What gives one poise or how is it expressed? Being poised could mean to be balanced. It can also mean holding oneself or an object in a certain manner. I've heard being poised and being graceful can go hand in hand, which is certainly one way to look at it. I like that my page shows being balanced between having fire while not sacrificing respect for yourself.
My background is another gelli print, a simpler one. I was experimenting with sprays, which I really love. I love the effects you can create with them. They dry fast, but depending on how you spray, they can stay wet long enough to mix colors. I also love using the top part for adding drips or tiny drops. I was using a Dylusions stencil with some Heidi Swapp Color Shine sprays. They're sparkly, but not overwhelming. I don't mind some sparkly, but I don't necessarily go fully glitter, sequins, etc. So these sprays are really nice. I used Teal with the Dylusions stencil. The Color Shine sprays came in many colors, like Sweet Mint, Raspberry, and Ocean.
I added a border out of gelli printed deli paper that I made using various paint colors, some die-cuts, doodling with my Sharpie pen and my Uni Posca white paint marker. The butterfly is from a package of corrugated cardboard shapes from my stash, colored with a red paint marker. I also added stamping with Archival black ink. The tag is actually an experiment. I used an acrylic stamp from Badass Art on some scrap and I really liked it, so I cut it into a tag to use later. Enter later. My Sharpie outlined the edge, I added a tiny heart from Oddball Art. I also traced a Dylusions girl mask near the bottom for some added punch.
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my art journal page. Bye for now!
Hi there my crafty friends!
I'm so glad you're visiting! I have another page in my mini art journal for the Art Marks Challenge from Rae Missigman and Sandi Keene.
Day 14 - Connect
How do you connect? What do you want to connect to? I think we all seek some sort of connection. It can be a struggle for some. I'm trying to reconnect. And to deepen my connection to certain parts of my life. One part that I think many of us adults neglect is our inner child. I don't think it's planned, but we get caught up in life and lose track of having fun. So my page for this prompt is about connecting with your inner child, and learning to love that part of yourself.
I'm also entering my page into this challenge:

I've posted either groups or individual. We'll see how I'm feeling for the rest.
I also used my Uni Posca white, orange, and black paint markers for filling in the stars, x's, and adding my doodles. I filled in a couple corners with The Crafter's Workshop Well Rounded stencil and Artist Loft red paint. I used a Moodclue blue chalk marker to make the balloon strings and a Balzer Designs rubber stamp set for the x's on the balloon strings.
I also added some ink drips with Liquitex Phthalocyanine Blue Green ink. Lastly I added a sentiment from my stash.
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my art journal page. Bye for now!
Hey there my crafty friends! Thanks for coming to see me today!
I have yet another page in my mini art journal for the Art Marks Challenge from Rae Missigman and Sandi Keene.
Day 6 - Envision
For some Art Marks Challenge history, you can click here. And Rae's Instagram account here shows what's she's making for each prompt. For those just tuning in, I'm working in a mini art journal I made out of envelopes, a hole punch and some baker's twine.
I'm planning to post all of my pages. Some will be individual, some may be in groups of two or more.
Today's prompt was Envision, which is an strong concept. How do you envision yourself? What do you envision for yourself? Perhaps being with family, maybe exploring a new hobby, could also be a focus on your health. Envisioning yourself, regardless of what it is, should be positive. Even if you want to, say, lose some weight or work on a better diet, it's still seeing yourself as being healthier. I envision a transformation of sorts for myself. Transforming into my improved self. Healthier, happier, around family, and contributing to a better world.
Seeing yourself as happier can take many forms. Happiness itself can take many forms, but it can include not struggling as much. I imagine all of you struggle in one way or another. Do you struggle financially? I'm thinking for many of you that's a resounding yes.
For those it does resonate with, I want to share something with you. It's a great way to earn some extra cash, though it does take time. It's not a get rich quick scheme, which usually end up with you losing the money just as fast as you made it or faster. No thank you. This is a super simple, no tech skills needed, e-mail system that's already set up for you. It's so easy; it's called Cliqly. When you sign up, you get a referral link. With the system, you earn money two ways: clicks and referrals. You take 10 minutes, and send e-mails. You can include your referral link in the e-mails. And you're automatically given a list of subscribers. The hard work is done for you. It can grow slow or fast, depending on how much you do it and other factors. I wouldn't waste another second if you're interested. I'm not messing around, at least not when it comes to this. I mess around with art, not making money.
I also share links as an Amazon Affiliate to products I like and want you to be able to get to make the fabulous artwork I know is in you to create. Just follow the links, make a purchase, I get a commission, your price stays the same.
For this spread, I already had some green paint on it, so I worked around it. The background is two of my Sakura solid paint markers, in yellow and neon orange. These come in many different colors, including black and white. I discovered them years ago and love them for adding paint fast that dries fast too.
The purple panda face is a digi image from Oddball Art that I colored with colored pencils and Tombow markers. I really love Oddball Art for its quirky, and sometimes sarcastic, images. Definitely weird, sometimes sweet, sometimes edgy, but always enjoyable. The Tombow markers are such a delight to use. They're watercolor, dual-tip, and have a variety of rich colors. Since they're watercolor, you can add water and spread the color around. It's lovely! And the fine point and brush tip works no matter what you're doing.
I then grabbed a face from a magazine and used a paint marker to add color to her hair. I also used one of my Studio G mini alphabet stamp sets for the word "envision." Then I had some doodle fun with my Uni Posca white paint marker and my Sharpie pen.
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my art journal page. Bye for now.
Hello my crafty friends!
I'm so glad you're visiting! I have another page in my mini art journal for the Art Marks Challenge from Rae Missigman and Sandi Keene.
Day 4 - Think
I have done my fair share of thinking, and then some. About everything. The direction I want to go in life, the choices I need to make; thinking is a neverending process. Thinking take up a good portion of most everyone's day, regardless of how big or small the choice is. I also hink about art supplies and what direction I want my projects to go.
Part of thinking of where I want my projects includes what parts am I going to compose my project out of, and do I need to get any of them? That may, of course, require making a purchase. That's why I've been working on a couple different strategies to increase my cash flow. One is being an Amazon affiliate. All you have o d is follow the links Ive included to some of my favorite products and make a purchase. I get commission, but your price does not increase. Another avenue I'm pursuing is a very simple e-mail system called Cliqly.
You log in, spend 10 minutes sending e-mails, earning click
commissions. If you include your referral link,
you can also earn referral commissions. You don't pay to get the referral link and this isn't a scam. Anyone can do this, no tech experience needed. I'm not messing around, at least not when it comes to this. I mess around with art, not making money.

Creative Fingers Challenge #260 - Anything Goes
Crazy is Our Fame August Challenge
For some Art Marks Challenge history, you can click here. And Rae's Instagram account here shows what's she's making for each prompt. For those just tuning in, I'm working in a mini art journal I made out of envelopes, but you can use many different things, including scrap or underpaper, so some pages already had stuff on them. A hole punch and some baker's twine later and a mini art journal for the challenge is born!
I'm planning to post all of my pages, though some may be individual pages and some may be in group.
I covered my page with a couple different paints colors, including black through a handwriting stencil similar to this one and some yellow through my chevron stencil from The Crafter's Workshop.
I added some details using some circle stamps from a set designed by
Julie Fei-Fan Balzer and a red dye stamping ink cube from a rainbow set
I've had forever. I also put some darker green paint through an older Dylusions stars
stencil and then offset the stencil a little, grabbed my Sharpie pen and traced the stencil with my pen.
The doodle border on the side is me playing with my Sharpie pen. The letter tiles are from a old kit from Studio Calico, I think. I have a set in blue as well.
My thinking girl is from Oddball Art. I love my Oddball Art images. So fun, and a little bit sarcastic.
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my art journal page. Bye for now!
