31 Day Art Journal Challenge Day 11

Day 11 Challenge is

What your Taste buds desire

Feature one of your favorite recipes.

 

My favorite season is fall and one of the many reasons is I can make one of my favorite recipes.  Cranberry Banana Bread!

 

So I made this page pretty simple.  I am really happy I did this page because it seems like every time I want to make this bread I can't find the little book.

31 Day Art Journal Challenge Day 10

Day's 10 Challenge is

Searching for Inspiration.

Draw or Write about what inspires you.

 

I did this page clean and simple.  I used a pencil, a pen and Copic Markers.

 

 

I am a few days behind on the challenge.  I am hoping to catch up again.  I have been spending a lot of time with our family dog who had surgery on Thursday.  She is recovering well but needs a lot of attention.

 

Thanks for looking.  Please let me know what you think.

31 Day Art Journal Challenge Day 9

Today's Challenge was

Incorporate your favorite product

label into your page!

 

This one was really tough for me.  I think there are so many products out there that have great packaging, but I usually don't buy them.  I went shopping and looked for a cool product with great packaging and I found some cool things, but I wasn't sure if I would actually use the products.  So I came home and saw the hot chocolate box.  I have been obsessed with hot chocolate lately.  So I cut up the box.  This is what I came up with.

I used distress inks in Walnut Stain and Tea Dye.  Then I added texture paste over a Studio Calico stencil.  I poured embossing powder onto the texture paste when it was still wet and heat set it and made it bubble.  I then added distress paint in Black Soot and Picket Fence.  I stamped some stars with a Paper Smooches stamp and chalk ink.  I then had a bunch of left over star chipboard pieces and die cuts mostly from Basic Grey. 

Thanks for looking.

Let me know what you think.

Pocket Thursday Week 37

Hi Everyone

Today I worked on my Week 37 spread.  I used the Kaiser Craft Captured Moments Hear & Now cards.  I love these colors and designs.  I also used some Thickers for my title card and some cork alpha from a Studio Calico kit I had in my stash.  I also used some cork shapes from Close to My Heart and Freckled Fawn.  I also used a little bit of my favorite washi tape from Studio Calico.  My date stamp is from Recollections and I used Close to My Heart ink.

Thanks for looking.  Please let me know what you think.

31 Day Art Journal Challenge Day 8

Today's Challenge is

Create the Moon!

 

I started with masking paper and Mustard Seed Distress Paint.  It seems like I am using these paints a lot.  I made the moon first and then I started adding color. I added Broken China, Seedless Preserves and Black Soot.  I mixed some of the colors to get grey.  The moon was a little too yellow so I added some Pickett Fence.  I also dropped some water on it to give it texture and painted some clouds.   I also took a brush with water and mixed the colors together just so it blended a little better.  I then painted my tree and stamped my little owl and painted the words.

 

So here it is.

Thanks for looking.  Please let me know what you think.

Traditional Tuesday 3

Wow 3 blog posts in 1 day.

 

  I haven't done a traditional page in a few weeks and wanted to get back on schedule.  I found these 2 pictures of my kids from several years ago.  Every time I see these pictures it makes me smile.  I used a Basic Grey kit, that I have had for a few years.
