There is a Galaxy . . . for ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly!

Hi everyone!  I am here today sharing a project that I made for ArtStacks!

I've made a mixed media scrapbook page using ArtStacks' Artist Series packs by Tamara Laporte. (@willowing)

Head over to the ArtStacks' shop to see everything that is included in these amazing packs!

Here is the art journal page that I made:

I’ve been loving Tam’s latest packs, and decided to create a sister page to my “Endless Potential” art journal page that I made back in June.

To begin, I created an off-white background and incorporated various sized rectangles, by utilizing Tam’s background images from her 'Mystical Universe' pack. Next, I added torn, corrugated white paper. Then I fussy-cut and adhered the gorgeous image of the woman (also from the 'Mystical Universe’ pack) to my page. Once more, I chose a sentiment from the same pack and made it the title of my page.  The turquoise stars are also from the same pack, while the doodles are from Tam’s original 'Fabulous Faces' pack. Finally, I enhanced the background by adding stenciling, black stars, ink splatters, and machine stitching around the border. The entire process was remarkably easy and fun!

For more information about ArtStacks, head over to their website - you can see what their talented design team has come up with at their blog!

I am also linking up my page to Art Journal Journey Monthly's August challenge.

This month's host is Chris from Pearshaped Crafting.

Her theme for August is ‘Hot Summer (Nights or Days).' She was inspired by Neil Diamond’s legendary concert in August 1972!

While creating this page, I was reminded of the warm summer evenings and all of stars that adorn the night sky and galaxy after the sun sets.  I hope this goes along with Chris' Hot Summer Nights theme!!!

If you’re in the mood to make a project for AJJ’s August theme, head over to Art Journal Journey Monthly.  I think you will have an amazing time meeting so many talented and friendly artists there.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Have a creative August!

You Are Awesome . . . for More Than Words!

Hi everyone!   It's August 1st and time for some new challenges.

The August Challenge at More Than Words is now open:

For those of you who don't know, More Than Words is an art journaling challenge blog with one main theme to inspire you each month. 

Here is the August Challenge :

This month, they are giving us a choice! You can make a COLLAGE page or a page about COLLEGE. This means you can choose to make a page using COLLAGE techniques or you can make a page inspired by COLLEGE (your college days, going back to school, etc) OR you could combine them and make a collage page about college!

And here's my art journal page:

I made my art journal page about both COLLAGE and COLLEGE! I used Nadine Karen Design beautiful images to make my collage and gave the highland cow a graduation cap to fit the college theme. I also used a quote from ArtStacks' "Fabulous Faces" pack to complete my page.

I hope you can play along with us this month at More Than Words!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!  I hope you all have a wonderful August!
