Hello! Autumn is officially here and I’m giving my Tree Stamp from Dead Beat Designs a workout! I created a page in my weekly planner last week using stamps and watercolors to make a Autumn Scene, so I wanted to show you my process in a creative journaling page. I hope you are inspired to create something fabulous today!
I woke up Saturday morning from a dream where I was painting pumpkins. Anyone else have these type of dreams? I wanted to create pumpkins for my journals, so I thought it would be great to make up some journaling cards. I decided to film the process, you may realize this video is over an hour long and I might have scrambled at one point over where the black paint is too, but I love how the journal cards came out. So grab a cup of tea, coffee or your favorite beverage and enjoy. I hope you are inspired to create some fun pumpkins too!
Lately, I have started adding more creativity to my daily journals and I am really loving the process. This allows me to create art daily and keep up with my daily journaling. here are a couple of close up of the journaling pages I have created this past month
In this video I talk through the pages and talk about different techniques I use, what I journaled about and ideas that inspire me
Thanks for watching, I hope you are inspired to create too!
Hello! This past week I created a mixed media "Paint Doodle" in my journal of a whimsical owl. You may ask what is a paint doodle? This is what I call making a quick painting/ mixed media piece in my journal. I don’t worry about shading or "coloring outside of the lines", I’m just doodling except not so much with a pen but with paint and papers. This is the owl I created in my journal
I put together a video on my process, it’s quite a lengthy video so grab a cup of coffee of a glass of wine and I hope you are inspired to create a cute little owl too!
Hello September and Hello Learn Something New Everyday! This is one of my favorite projects that I have participated in since 2011. I am always so thankful and happy to see the prompts show up in my email. Please check out Shimelle’s Websitefor details.
This year I am using a flip through Journal card system to document my learn Something New Everyday. I created a video to show you my process:
Here is a another video I created last year to show you my past journals.
Hello! I’m so excited to be able to start a new journal, almost a fresh start. I remember when I use to write in lined spiral journals it was always so exciting to start a new one. I think what is nice about using a traveler’s notebook insert is the fact that it will not take me a year to fill it up, I’m thinking more like two months. I am really enjoying the process of getting creative, using paints, markers, ephemera, and so much more and then journaling. I created a video to show you my process of making a cover and how I create my journal. I posted the video last night and this was my first cover. Do you see what I had to fix?
Thanks to my You Tube friends for showing me…I misspelled journal! Geez! No worries, a quick fix!
Hello! today I have a video showing you my process to creating a page in my journal. I started journaling this was to be able to be creative and journal all within the same book. I am loving this process! I use a Cahier size Traveler’s Notebook insert and use watercolor, diecuts, stickers, tags and paper to create a fun whimsical page. I typically will create on one side of the page and journal on the other side. I hope you enjoy the video and are inspired to create something today too!
A side note, I am in the process of changing up my vidoes. I want to make them not as long. My plan is to add music and speed the video up. This way I can continue to share my process but not take up too much time!
I have heard about Daiso, the Japanese dollar store, for a while and finally was able to go and shop at one. This past weekend, after seeing my son off to college, we stopped into the Daiso located in Fort Worth, Texas and I have to say it was AMAZING! My parents were with me and they actually enjoyed it too. The store was very clean and bright and was filled with so many fun and useful items. I went in for stationery items and actually found so many other things I "needed". They had the cutest dishes and household items. I was good though and stuck to a few items, but ready to go back! In this video I show you some of the treasures I found.
