Happy Moments . . . for ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly!

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

I used Claire Stead's Colourful World and Colourful Zine Kit Artist Series packs:

Head over to ArtStacks' Shop to see what's inside these amazing packs!

Here is my project:

I started by choosing photos that were taken at the Billie Eilish concert that my family and I saw last October - this is a memory that I will always treasure!  I picked the dark background paper in order to help all of the elements pop. I thought the bold design and colors of Claire Stead's Colourful World and  Colourful Zine Kit were a perfect way to add vividness to my page.  You can check out ArtStacks' Blog to learn more.

I am also linking my page up to Art Journal Journey Monthly for January:

This month is hosted by Mia of Crafftartista.  Mia's theme is Dots.

I added lots of paint splatted dots and some enamel dots of various sizes.  I love adding dots to my pages.  Thank you for the wonderful theme this month, Mia.

I hope you get a chance to join in on the fun at Art Journal Journey Monthly this month!

And thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.  May new year is filled with lots of creativity!❤

A Collection of Memories . . . for ArtStacks!

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

I made a 'zine' using one of Claire Stead's new Artist Series releases, her Colourful Zine Kit:

I confess that I actually never heard of a zine before I saw Claire's new packs.  I was totally intrigued and couldn't wait to make mine.  I followed Claire's video (the link is included in her pack) and found that it was simple and fun to make.  I printed out my own photos as I wanted to make is a collection of memories about me, but you can use Claire's amazing pictures that are included in her kit, too!

Here is my project:

I cannot tell you just how much I enjoyed creating my very first zine.  I especially liked personalizing it and making it about me.  I added some of my own handwriting, type-written words, washi tape, twine, and photos.  The rest was made using Claire Stead's Colourful Zine Kit and following her video!

And what's fun is that you can make YOURS about anything you like!

Thank you, Claire, for the inspiration. 

I hope I have inspired you to create a zine 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!
