Let Your Light Shine . . . for ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly

Hi everyone, I’m excited to share something new I created for ArtStacks! 

I used three of ArtStack's beautiful packs to make an art journal page that is close to my heart.

The first is "The Homemaker Limited Edition" pack:

The second is Deb Weiers' "Wonky Backgrounds" pack:

And the third is their "Tissue Backgrounds" pack:

I loved creating this mixed media art journal page using these packs: 

• The stunning background paper is from The Homemaker pack.  
• I tore two pieces of the black-and-white striped paper from the Wonky Backgrounds pack and adhered them onto my page.
• I also used the Tissue Backgrounds pack to give my background a bit of flair with the grid and newspaper print.
• For my focal point, I used a sepia photo of my mom and dad from 1945—it’s my absolute favorite!
• I used sparkly die-cut wings and glued them behind the photo.
• I also added lots of extra stamped and fabric leaves because I’m so excited about Spring!
• To make it all pop, I added some paint splatter and scribbles for a special touch.

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

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

This month, Gillena Cox is hosting AJJ Monthly with a theme of “Trees are awesome, aren’t they?”

As you can see, I’ve used lots of leaves from beautiful trees!  Thank you, Gillena, for hosting AJJ this month.

And thank YOU so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope April brings you joy and happiness!

Be Sure to Smell the Flowers . . . for Artstacks!

Hi!! Today I am sharing a mixed media art journal page that I made for ArtStacks!

 

I used their amazing The Homemaker Limited Edition Stack to make the following page:

 

This stack has so many wonderful papers included! I used the following papers to make my page:

 

The Rose on Vintage music sheet is pre-stitched, and is one of my all-time favorites!  And the rose canvas photo paper is made out of a beautiful heavy canvas!!  And these are just a few of what is included in the stack.

Here is a close up of my page:

 

And this quote was fussy cut from the "Words and Quote" page of the Anemones and Friends Corestack.

I hope you get a chance to make a project using the pages from ArtStacks!  I know you will LOVE using them as much as I do.  If you head on over to their website, you can find their blog for more of their artist team inspiration!

 

I am also linking my page up to Art Journal Journey Monthly this month! 

 Their theme is "Vintage" and is hosted by Wendy K!  The sheet music paper that I used from ArtStacks is definitely vintage - that's one of the things that I loved most about it.

Thanks, AJJ and Wendy for hosting this fabulous theme for the month of September!

 

 Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  HUGS!
