Live in Color . . . for More Than Words!

Hi everyone! It's a new month - YAY!  

June 1st is here and it's time for some new challenges.

The June Challenge at More Than Words opened today!

For those of you who don't know, More Than Words has simplified their art journal challenges this year to make it easier to participate!! They have one main theme to inspire you each month and they hope that you get a chance to join in on the fun each month!

This month's theme is Art Supplies. Feel free to interpret the theme in any way that you like. You can talk about and use your favorite art supplies or try something new if you like.

Here is June's Challenge:

And here's my art journal page:

I loved creating this art journal page about color because without it, there would be no art! I had fun using my favorite art supplies: stencils, inks, stamps, stickers and die cut ephemera from Vickie Boutin's Color Study collection. And I especially liked creating with some of my favorite ArtStacks images from Tamara Laporte's Artist Series packs.  I think that the beautiful images of the owl and the butterflies from Tamara Laporte's "Artsy Animals" pack are perfect here.  And when I saw the AJJ theme this month, I added some stamped numbers to my page.

My hope is that you will join the challenge at More Than Words his month!

 

I am also linking my page to April's Art Journal Journey Monthly challenge:

 

 

This month is hosted by Matilde.  Her blog is Craftowanie and her theme for June is All About Numbers!" 

 

Matilde says:  I hope you will enjoy it and come and join us this month!

 

I want to thank Matilde and Art Journal Journey for the awesome challenge!  And  I cannot wait to see what all of the talented AJJ artists create.

And thank you for stopping by my blog today.  Have a wonderful June.

In Joy and Sadness . . . for ArtStacks!

 Hi everyone!  Today I'd like to share my last mixed media art journal page that I made for ArtStacks in 2022 . . .

I used ArtStacks'  Deb Weiers' Wonky Critters, Wonky Bits, and Wonky Backgrounds Artist Series packs on my project.  And the amazing wonky bird is the focal point on my page!!  

I can't tell you how much I love working with these ArtStacks' packs:  

Here is my art journal page:  

I made my page featuring Deb Weiers' wonky bird from the Wonky Critters pack.  She has a whole lot of these fabulous critters in her pack!  

And the amazing wonky flowers are from her Wonky Bits pack.

Here is some different view:

 

And  I have to mention that the background paper is Vicki Boutin's from her "Color Study" collection:

 

I have been loving her Color Study papers lately!!  They are all fabulous!

Love It . . . for ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly!

 Hi everyone!  Today I'd like to share my new mixed media art journal page that I made for ArtStacks. 

I used ArtStacks' new releases:  Deb Weiers' Wonky Critters and Wonky Bits Artist Series packs as the focal point of my page.  I can't tell you how much I love working with these packs.   I couldn't wait to start creating as soon as I received them!

Here is my art journal page:  

I made my page featuring Deb Weiers' wonky pony from the Wonky Critters pack!  I also used lyrics from one of my favorite songs by Joni Mitchell - "Circle Game."  And the background paper is Vicki Boutin's!   You can check out the new releases in more detail here.

 

 

And I had Art Journal Journey Monthly in mind when I made my page.  

This month is hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth and there are 2 themes to pick from - collage fodder and/or food & drink.  I picked collage fodder.   

 

My background is from Vicki Boutin's Color Study collection.  My pieces included torn black and white striped paper, images from the Wonky Critters and Wonky Bits packs, and song lyrics that were printed on white paper and cut into strips.  I collaged them together and stitched some into place.

Thanks so much, Art Journal Journey for the inspiration this month.

And thank you for stopping by my blog today.  Have a wonderful November!
