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!

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!

Trust the Process . . . for ArtStacks!

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

 

I made a mixed media art journal page using ArtStacks' newest releases!  They are Tracy Verdugo's Artist Series packs entitled Under the Sea and Love Lives Here:

Aren't they beautiful?  I couldn't wait to rip open the packages and start using them when they arrived in the mail.

Here is my mixed media art journal page:

I absolutely loved working with these new releases! I started with a pink background and added texture with stencils and white texture paste. I used Tracy Verdugo's Under the Sea pack and a couple of dies that I had in my stash to cut my pieces.    Next, I added the pieces that I had fussy cut and die cut from Tracy's beautiful art.  Finally, I added my title with pop dots.  The title was taken from Tracy's Love Lives Here pack.

I am also linking my page to  Art Journal Journey Monthly's theme this month, which is

Where in the World?  

August is hosted by Chris from Pearshapedcrafting.   Chris says:  "I would like to see places, people, and customs, in fact, anything memorable about your chosen destinations.  It can be about somewhere you have visited, but it doesn't have to be."  

When I saw Chris's challenge this month, I knew that I wanted to enter! My page is about Under the Sea, which is an imaginative destination.    I visited "under the sea" when I swam in the ocean numerous times, and also when I was on a glass bottom boat off the coast of Florida a few years ago!

Thank you, Chris, and everyone at Art Journal Journey Monthly for your never-ending inspiration and encouragement!!!

And thank YOU for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you are enjoying August!
