We Love Coffee . . . for ArtStacks!

 Hi everyone!  I am here today sharing my latest project made for ArtStacks!

ArtStacks was so excited to reveal their brand new MiniStacks on November 8th:

They have three new packs - Tea Break, Coffee Time and Happy Hour. They are all available in tissue, cardstock and digital formats. Head over to their shop to see what's inside the packs!

Here is my project:

I had so much fun making this 12 x 12 mixed media scrapbook page using ArtStacks new Coffee Time MiniStack. And I also used their Tissue Backgrounds pack as well.  Head over to ArtStacks' blog to see a step-by-step tutorial as to how I made my page.

I hope I have inspired you to create a project of your own!

Live Life in Colour for ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly

Hi everyone!  Today I'm sharing a project that I made for the ArtStacks Artist Team.  

 

Here is my 12x12 mixed media art journal/scrapbook page using ArtStacks' new release packs, Claire Stead's Artist Series Colourful World and Colourful Zine Kit packs.

I absolutely love this photo of my daughter, Anne that I took back in 2014. (I have scrapped it before, but I just had to scrap it again!)  Next, I picked paper with a pre-printed watercolored background from the 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Sunburst Collection. I added tissue paper script from the Colourful Zine Kit pack and tissue butterflies from ArtStacks' Tissue Backgrounds pack.  I also added images and words from the Colourful World pack.  I can honestly say that my page was very fun and easy to make using ArtStacks supplies!  You can see all of the packs in detail at www.artstacks.com.au/shop and you can read more about how I made my project at www.artstacks.com.au/blog.

 

And once again, I am to linking my page to Art Journal Journey Monthly's theme for September:

This month is hosted by Aimeslee from Paper Paisleys Art Adventure. Her theme for September is “Anything Goes!” She says:  "This is my favorite theme of all times because it probably speaks to the eclectic, nonconformist in me!"

YES! It's so much fun!

I hope you get a chance to check out the all of the Anything Goes entries this month!  All of the artists that take part in this challenge every month are so talented and friendly.  

And I would like to thank Aimeslee and Art Journal Journey, too!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.   Enjoy the rest of September! 

Dec 25th . . . for ArtStacks!

 Hi everyone!  It's time to share a page that I made for the ArtStacks:

 

I am up on ArtStacks blog today!  I created a mixed media, 12 x 12 Scrapbook page using  ArtStacks' new releases!  I used Shana Bebeklis' Artist Series packs.

Happy Scraps:

and Full Deck:

I absolutely love Shana's packs and couldn't wait to create with them . . .

Here is my mixed media scrapbook page:

I picked a Christmas photo of my daughters in front of the tree, from 2012.  Please head over to the ArtStacks' blog to see how I created my layout!

I enjoyed making this scrapbook page and hope that I inspired you to create one, too.

Also, I am excited to let you know that you can see my layout  - Issue 6  - of the Scrapbookers Journal on Facebook!

Love Lives Here . . . for ArtStacks!

 Hi everyone!  It's October and time to share a page that I made for the ArtStacks:

 

I created a mixed media art journal page using one of ArtStacks' new releases!  This time, I used Tracy Verdugo's Artist Series pack entitled  Love Lives Here:

I absolutely love Tracy's packs and couldn't wait to create with them again . . .

Here is my mixed media art journal page:

I started by using background paper from a 49 and Market kit entitled "Sunburst Ultimate Page Kit" that I have in my stash.  Next I painted with bright pink acrylic paint, then added Tracy's beautiful images from her amazing "Love Lives Here" kit.  It was so simple and easy to make. 

I enjoyed making this page and hope that I inspired you to create one, too!

 

You can find out what is in this pack in detail at www.artstacks.com.au/shop/!

Be Gentle With Yourself . . . for ArtStacks!

 Hi everyone!  I'd like to share a page that I made for ArtStacks with you today:  

 

I made a mixed media art journal page using one of ArtStacks' new releases!  This time, I used Tracy Verdugo's Artist Series pack entitled  Love Lives Here:

And  to mix things up a bit, I added images from the amazing Wings and Things pack:

I am still crushing on these packs and couldn't wait to create with them again!

Here is my mixed media art journal page:

I started with a watercolored background and added some texture using machine stitching with black thread.  Next, I fussy cut one of Tracy’s beautiful angels from her Love Lives Here pack:

and adhered it to my page.  I popped the colorful title from the same pack after I cut it into a heart shape:

Finally, I gave the angel some beautiful blue wings and added 3 butterflies from the Wings and Things pack:

 

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed making this page and hope that I inspired you to create one, too!
