and boy was I inspired! I had a weekend ALLL to myself for 3 days!! It was BLISSFUL! I painted (will show you painting tomorrow).. I journalled.. I stamped.. I hung out with my chicklet friends… *sigh*.. I think the kids and ryan have to go to camp weekly, no? LOL
Thank you for all your support on last week’s release.. it’s one of my favorites!
Now let’s talk Art journaling shall we? I am going to update my sidebar to include all my favorites that I look at all the time… If you are “scared” to art journal, please don’t be.. you will never be happier after you start! There are NO rules.. at all! It’s how you want it.. you’re the BOSS.. you decide what goes in there.. NOBODY else k? It’s a place where you can try out new art supplies.. scribble… doodle.. practice lettering… paint.. ink…STAMP!!! you name it! I know I repeat myself all the time but I really recommend it to everyone :0 Even my “regular” friends..who don’t understand what it’s like to sniff and lick rubbah cuz you love it so much..LOL.
Ok so the theme this week was to use your FAVORITE colors on a page…
Cindy's page
and here is my page. I decided to use our new TERESA “IN MY ELEMENT” stamp set called “PIE CHARTS HAVE NO CALORIES..” LOL.. I had so much fun converting these elements into flowers! I got to color.. and shade. Teresa’s sets are AMAZING for this type of journaling.. they are sooo much fun! I tried to use my PITT PEN MARKERS for the background.. they are quite “streaky”.. but I like them for journals because they don’t bleed to the other side! so I get to color and eat my cake too..LOL.. I glued down the business cards from where I visited this weekend and wrote a blurb.. this was FUN!
I do hope that these posts inspire you.. make you want to try it… I am here for you if you have any questions!
next week’s theme is to use one of our stamps in your journal.. you can cut, color, paper piece.. write a story about what that stamp means to you etc..
Have fun with it, let loose and start a journal if you already haven’t!
Mwah to da sistahs who think I am bossy 🙂

Beautiful pages, love the new stamps you used Emily.
How did I miss this challenge? I check your blog every day. I didn’t see last week’s pages posted or the new challenge. Oh well, to see my page from last week, please feel free to visit my blog: http://www.craftyviolet.blogspot.com and scroll down thru the cards, etc. to you see “Life is a Balancing act”.
I like the page that was posted and I really liked the new releases.
OK, I just scrolled thru the older posts and found where you added it to the post I had already read. Darn, how did I miss that!!!! My bad.
Sounds like you had a productive weekend! The elements look fun on your page…I tried to blow it up to see where you went this weekend. Lol
