The Wonder Years

Loving this right now. It was one of my faves when I was a kid. I just had to share this. Thanks to Netflix I am able to share this one with my girls . I remember growing up with this show and how I thought it was so funny that even though it was set 20 years earlier that when it aired I really could identify with it.

30 Days of List My Journal

Here is how the cover looks. I thought I would use this as a way to destash my paper collection and use some of my new supplies as well. I used a doily tag from Elle’s Studio a Paint chip strip and some Making Memories Letter Stickers.

An Art Break

I didn’t mean to,but I have been on a little bit of a blogging break. I have taken this time to refocus my attention on thing that matter to me (my family) and really find time to explore my style, and examine where I want to go with my art. I think this time away has helped me to learn that I will now try to blog on a schedule each week, with 3 post a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This way I can really focus on my family and my art.

I just signed up and so can you (It's FREE)

Over the course of 14 days, you'll receive daily doses of inspiration from favorite Big Picture teachers, and seven mystery guests!

I just had to share. I am working on a post about all of the classes that I have taken over the summer and I will be sharing them soon.

I been busy lately

I have been working on filling up my Etsy shop will lots of new items. I now offer vintage ephemera and collage papers. I will be adding more over the next few weeks and I will share them here when they are ready to be unveiled. I hope you like what you see and will check out the items that I have to offer.

Journal Pages in Progress

Here is a  journal page that I have in progress using only the supplies from my  “Couch Box”. I used a roll of masking tape as stencil for the circles and filled some in and left just an out line of others to give a sense of depth and movement.

Art Box Fun

I am jumping on the “Couch Box” Bandwagon that Sam over at “Journal Girl” has been talking about over on her blog and I thought I would share with you a glimpse into mine. I hope this inspires you to create your own “Couch Box” and use some of your couch time to create some great art.
