Tea is a Hug in a Mug . . . for ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly!

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

ArtStacks revealed their 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 enjoyed making this 12 x 12 mixed media scrapbook page using ArtStacks new Tea Break MiniStack. I used elements from Claire Stead's Colourful Zine Kit as well.  Head over to ArtStacks' blog to see how I made my page.

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

I am very excited to have been asked to be the host of Art Journal Journey Monthly for the month of December:

It is my first time hosting and I have been having so much fun!

Here is a little bit about Art Journal Journey Monthly:

"Each month there is a new challenge theme for you to take part in. Our participants are art-journalers, altered book artists, rubber stamp addicts, and mixed media artists from all over the world. You are invited to take part by linking via the Link tool on their site.  

Please be considerate and remember that greeting cards, ATCs, and tags will not be accepted unless they are part of your journal page, and we will be forced to delete the link.  

However, as of November 1, 2021, we are no longer limiting the size of the journal or journal pages.  If you want to create a mini journal, it will be accepted.  However, it must look like a journal and not a card or tag.

Artwork created in an art journal, altered book, on canvas, or loose pages as well as digital and fabric art of any size are now acceptable."

I chose the theme of SNOW for this month.  As you can see on my scrapbook page, I used lots of examples of snow:  like the snow in the background of my picture, the snow on my tea cup, and the die cut snowflakes on my page.

I hope you get a chance to head over to Art Journal Journey Monthly, not only to participate in this month's challenge, but also to see all of the amazing entries by talented participants around the world. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.  Happy December and Happy Holidays to one and all!❤

Let's Make a Splash . . . for ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly!

Hi everyone!  It's nearly the end of November and the holiday season will officially be upon us!   This year has literally flown by! 

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

ArtStacks revealed their 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 made using their Happy Hour MiniStack:

I started by painting a watercolor background in green, yellow, and blue on 12″ x 12″ paper.  I made my background by using the Tissue Backgrounds pack, Tracy Verdugo's Under the Sea Artist Series pack, and Claire Stead's Colourful Zine Kit Artist Series pack. And the balloons are from the All Dressed Up pack.  I added 2 photos that I took during our "girls week at the beach" trip last summer.  And I had to add elements from the new release Happy Hour MiniStack to my page!  They were perfect here because we were celebrating happy hour at the beach in the photos!

I hope I have inspired you to make a project of your own using ArtStacks' beautiful products!

 

I am also linking my page to Art Journal Journey Monthly's theme for November:

This month is hosted by Wendy K from wendysartandcraftjournal. Her theme for November is “About the Sea.” She says:  This can be anything that is on, in or by the sea. Have fun with it!

My page contains photos taken by the sea, and has tissue paper fish and a starfish.

I would like to thank Wendy and Art Journal Journey for helping to inspire me to create my page!

And thank YOU so much for stopping by my blog today.   Enjoy the rest of November!
