It’s ART JOURNALING MONDAY!

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 🙂

3 Sneaky Peekies and AJ monday coming SOON to a theatre near you! LOL

I am back from Niagara and had a PHENOM time with GREAT friends.. can I go back yet? 🙁

Today I wanted to introduce you to one of our new artists named RHEEA.  She is from Singapore and she is a delight.  When I saw her artwork, I was mesmerized.  The “sketchiness” of it.. the “rawness” of it.. I dunno.. I can’t explain it but it evoked so many emotions for me.. so I thought to myself.. I can’t be the only one feeling this.. I gots TA share it with da sistahs!  These images are paired with incredible quotes.  They don’t necessarily need to be colored in as I think they make their point in crisp black and white.. or you can play with background techniques and stamp the image over it as well as many other techniques which would be phenom with this style.  Another reason I love these images is because not only are they amazing for cards but they are great for journaling too.. sometimes you don’t want to write in your journal.. you want to find the perfect image to dispell how you are feeling.. and I really think these images do the job.. so vintage.. so retro.. so current…  I could be CUH-RAZY because I have never seen this before in our industry but sometimes, you gotta work with your gut and instinct (*ahem* which I really do all the time)..  you will meet her main characters NINA and NONO (little girl and her Dachsund).. they are in most of the images and they just happily celebrate life together…

Meet RHEEA all the way from SINGAPORE!  Is she not deelish?  If she was in front of me I would SQUISH and hug her right now… (I may break her in half.. but that’s another story.. hmph)

and here is a little bit about her

‘Dollgift is a peek into the whimsical mind of illustrator, Rheea. Featuring free spirited creations that are both nostalgic and timeless, Dollgift is about Art, about simple Joy and always, about Love…”

She is a little pipsqueak.. LOL.. with a LOT of SOUL.. someone I would love to hang around with 🙂

Ok  enough already… you ready?

how many days did I miss?  2?  plus today? 3?  Ok so I shall sneak peek 3 images…!

Here is KEEP CLIMBING!

The name of this stamp is SIMPLE JOY.. and that’s what it is :).. when I look at this image, I get giddy happy 🙂

3 more inspirational ones coming this week!  LOOOVE my Rheea!

Now how about one more UPTOWNIE?

Meet uptown girl PIPPA who loves to plant!

our very own CATHABELLA who is heavily involved in her own garden at the mo’  brought PIPPA to life!  I wanna look like PIPPA!

Ok that’s it for now!  Hope you love RHEEA as much as I do… Hope you love the new uptownies too!

Will be back later with AJ MONDAY on this very post.. so check back

it’s ART JOURNALING MONDAY! and the story about a “crime scene”.. bwahahaha

Hiya sistahs!

Hope you had a great weekend with lots of creative time and lots of kidlet time celebrating mother’s day.  We had an eventful weekend.. but yesterday was THE BEST and I will tell you why… you ready? (it’s a long one)

Every year I decide that I need to start gardening.  In our last house I had ZERO motivation as we had a “walkout” balcony and had to drag ourselves through the basement to get out to the yard.  needless to say, we never went to the back.

In this lovely house we are now in, we have a beautiful little backyard and I vowed that I would make it BEAUTIFULLER.  So my family decided to take me to Home Depot to pick out some stuff.  Please keep in mind  that I have ABSOLUTELY no green thumb nor a talent to make plants grow.  In fact, I kill them.  EVERY SINGLE YEAR.  Every year, I vow to grow an herb garden.. easy enough right?  not for da BELLA.. they are dead within a week and my kids and husband all remind me of that and laugh their heads off.  NICE AY?

But this year I was DETERMINED.  I must mention at this point that we have TONS of weeds in our garden and I wanted to get rid of them.  PRONTO.  So last week I started pulling them.. the leaves came out but I was never able to get to the root.. and they were EVERYWHERE and they HURT ME with their prickly leaves.. grrrr.  So yesterday Ryan bought a weed puller thingy to try to get them out.  Keep in mind that my whole life I was surrounded by flowers.. my mother is an amazing gardener and you can’t even speak to her on her gardening days because she is so absorbed.  I never understood it, to be honest.  So yesterday I called her and asked her what to do for weeds.  She went into this gardener’s jargon on and on and on .. and all I got from the conversation was Miracle Gro, Mulch and cedar chips… so I kept repeating these 3 things in my head until we got to the store.

Once we were there, we bought all of our tools.. flowers, urns (which I plant every year and they die in 22 seconds).. we chose them all carefully.. bought a watering can, a hose.. you get the idea.  So while Tyler was playing hockey, Jayden and I would plant.

We got home, we poured the dirt into the urns, we planted, we watered and we both felt exhilarated.. really. to use your two hands and anticipate something growing that you planted!  Phenom! (unless I manage to kill these also)… I kinda appreciated this gardening thing… like I can do this.. I’m cool.. I think I have a green thumb!  So excited..

here is one of the urns I planted.. the other one is identical 🙂  The urn is kinda cool.. has a wickery look to it..

we had a GREAT time…

And then.  I spotted the WEAPON

yes this was the weeding tool that Ryan just left on the ground and went to take Tyler to hockey practice.  I look at Jayden and I asked if Ryan tried to use the tool.  She admitted that he did and he didn’t understand how to use it so just threw it down in exasperation and left..LOL.  So I decided to pick it up.  And look at the long part of the tool and sure enough I saw directions with pictures on how to use it.  So I look to the left.. I look to the right.. and I shove that baby into the ground on top of the weed and pulled it all out INCLUDING THE ROOT.  It was the most beeyootiful sight.  I couldn’t believe I did it!!  Now keep in mind, that i didn’t know that there was a simple knob to push down to release the weed and clean the blades.. so I kept bending down to clean it up.. but no matter… I WAS OBSESSED.

here are my weedy VICTIMS.. just lying there...

the actual crime scene

tried my best to hide the EVIDENCE.. the VICTIMS

all clean under the tree

 

Jayden was calling my name.. I HEARD NOTHING.  I became the WEED KILLER.  I was PUSHING that baby into every weed I saw..I was SWEATING like a pig.. and got cramps… actually I have a great description of my experience.. from an email I wrote my mother last night.  Keep in mind, I had to take some content out as it was too explicit for my audience but I think you can kinda figure it out 🙂

Here is the email to my mom.. actually  I sent her a picture of my plant.. and this is what the response was..

The urns are beautiful. I really like them.  The red leafy plant is

> called coleus. It does well in the sun. Can also go very big in the

> ground, maybe the urn will contain its size. The pansies need sun , I

> also planted today the whole day. I bought two large baskets of peach

> begonias and in the ground I got tuberous  begonias which come in

> brilliant colours, need sun and shade. Geraniums do well in urns,they

> are sturdy and now I found white and red hybrids. You will need to get

> “miracle grow”. Good luck with planting and water! WATER! WATER!!!

Pretty innocent right?

OK here was my email after I did all my weeding and planting

MY EMAIL TO MY MOTHER

Yes I got miracle grow potting soil and the additive.  I also bought the weed puller which Ryan couldn’t figure out and he left.  After Jayden and I planted, I took the weed thingamajig and actually read the sticker with PiCTUREs on it and became dangerous.  There was nothing more satisfying than pulling out a root the size of my arse..  my house…. The feeling is equivalent to popping a zit, peeling glue off your hands or eating a gigantic cookie without the fear of weight gain.

By the time I pulled 3 weeds, I was hyperventilating,  sweating, and almost passed out due to dehydration from the extreme exercise.  I had to take a break.  I then resumed this exercise and Ryan showed me that I didn’t have to keel over and pick the weed out of the knives.  He simply showed me to pull the handle and out dropped the Ginormous root!  I then started The murder scene again and without realizing that all my sweet innocent neighbors were out, I let out “inappropriate”  moans every time I pulled those ^&*&^%  from the earth.  Ryan had to shush me whilst sweating and shoving that thing back into the land of milk and honey.  It was pure bliss.

I now  have a garden that literally looks like 6,567,998 squirrels and raccoons have destroyed it, but I , the ignorant gardner, will have a night of sweet dreams, sore muscles and thoughts of a long root being pulled out of the ground *sigh*… I now “get it”

 Ps.  All the plants I potted were designated as partial shaded plants.  I’m very hesitant to put the mulch because that will remove me from my job as the weed whacker Hmph

Here is my mother’s response:

I totally share the sentiment. I had such a good belly laugh because it took me 2 years and 3 engineers to figure out this wonderful tool. I now hide it in the corner of the garage and you can appreciate how much I love you if I wanted to very CAREFULLY wrap it into pink tissue after lovingly cleaning it as if it was a very expensive object, and lend it to YOU  my favourite daughter .Happy gardening and I leave you with the following thought  which one day, many years from now you will share with your daughter:

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE  WALL

  I BECAME MY

MOTHER ,AFTER  ALL!   (for starters, gardening)

 

Yes, that is the type of relationship we have.. but I thought that captured the event pretty well..LOL

what I didn’t include was that I called myself  a WEEDBUSTER, held the tool pointing like a gun and started humming the tune to ghostbusters.. LOL

“I ain’t afraid of no WEED” (ok that sounds really bad)..LOL

So that was my event yesterday..

Now for AJ monday!  Sorry for digressing..

Here is my wooden board.. which STARTED as a background.. then I couldn't stop (are you getting the theme here? LOL).. so I ended up finishing the piece.. but I did take closeups of my marks and scribbles!

Here is Cindy R's page

it’s AJ monday!

Hiya sistahs!

I hope you had a great weekend.  We set up our patio furniture and had a marshmallow roast in the PROPANE pit in the middle of our coffee table (I told Ryan that CANNOT be safe can it?..LOL).. but everyone enjoyed and that’s what counts..  We had great celebrations over the weekend for his birthday.. just all in all one of them GOOD weekends 🙂

Now our Art journaling monday is a bit MEEK this week… where is everyone? HMMMM?

Our theme this week was to write or draw about your PET PEEVES, or things you dislike!

Here is Lorie's page.. and BOY do I agree with her! LOL

this is my page.. I have about 4 journals on the go.. each serving a different purpose.. I think I am addicted to journals. What I LOVE about this one is the format.. it's tall and long and fun to fill!

another piece of good news is that our VERY OWN BETH FULLER (3 sisters stamps) has been featured in ARTFUL BLOGGING SUMMER! If you go to Beth’s blog and read her entries you will literally pee in your pants.. she is HILARIOUS and her sense of humor comes out in her artwork.  She is my collage inspiration.. OBSESSED..LOL..

Here is the cover and pages just to make you wanna go buy the mag.  It is such a gorgeous magazine.. the colors, the pictures.. oh the COLLAGE CUTTING POTENTIAL! LOL

and she didn’t forget about da sistahood..!

*sigh*  I love her.

mwah to da sistahs who LOVE da bloggy

Em

it’s FUH-REEZING in Toronto… oh and a little AJ monday

and my kids happen to think they should wear tank tops to school.. hmph.

Hope you had a great weekend.. We were home most of the weekend and Jayden looks at Ryan and says last night.. “daddy, I can’t believe HOW FAST the weekend flies!”… Ryan and I shared a look and after they went to bed he says to me.. “did this weekend feel like 3 weeks to you?.. I responded “no.. 5 weeks..”.. LOL

So today is AJ monday.. a small one but that’s ok :).. now I want you to understand that just because it is called AJ monday doesn’t mean that your piece HAS to be in a journal.. there are days when I want to work on a canvas, or a canvas board.. or a sheet of paper .. or wood!  Those all count in AJ monday.. know why?  Cuz da bella said so..LOL

So the theme this week was to paint your HEART out..  and that’s what I did  :).  My little miserable bunny still has a sense of humor..  I just love her.  She was painted on a canvas sheet.. and there are SO many layers in there, I can’t even count them 🙂

here is Dolores' page

here's Violet's page

I just love getting my entries for AJ monday.. I am hoping more people will sign up and travel on this journey with us..

next week’s theme

yikes.. I have been neglectful :( (long post)

Hiya sistahs!

Sorry for the big delay in my post!  I have been recovering from Scrapfest which went swimmingly (what the HECK does that mean?)  well!  We got messy, we stamped, we sprayed we had fun!  wish you would have been there…

I have several stories/antics to share with you from the weekend.

Any of you who know Helenabella, knows how organized, efficient and BOSSY she is…LOL.  So of course, I am her virtual opposite and rely tremendously on her efficiency.  So of course, I email her ALL of our confirmations, numbers etc.. cuz I know it will be in a safe place!  WELLLLLLL… after the show, Helen, Christine and I were soooo tired.. and all we wanted to do was check into the hotel and eat! (it was 10:00pm at this point).. so off we go, driving towards the Delta hotel as Helen said this was where we were staying.. I said Ya, sounds familiar and off we go with Christine in tow behind us.  We park in front of the hotel and helen looks at me and I look at her.. and we say at the same time.. this DOES NOT LOOK FAMILIAR… so I say to the extremely bossy-organized-helen where is our confirmation?  She says at home but I can access it on my computer.. Sure enough.. she can’t access it.  So I call DELTA HQ.  They have a record of my phone number but the email address is wrong.. GRRRRR.. Helen says, let’s just go in and see if we are booked there.. I say “no no!  why should we move when all it is is a phonecall..” LOL… So I call the marriott.. I call holiday inn.. I call every hotel in Kitchener and we are not booked anywhere!! (and the whole time Helen and I are laughing HYSTERICALLY.. better than crying I guess)   At this point it is just shy of 11:00 and we are HOMELESS.  Helen parks the car and says she is going in..LOL.. so Christine and I follow… RAVENOUSLY.

Sure enough, we are checked in there.  hmph.  I hate to admit it but Helen was right.  Then we ask if their lounge is still serving food.  They quickly check their checkout sheet and say the chefs have not signed out, so they were still serving.

We go and sit down, order drinks and then … we tell them we are ready to order our food… they look at us with PANIC.  the chefs LEFT.  So we leave in a huff and go to a restaurant across the street (now 11:30pm).. we get there and an EXTREMELY CHIPPER hostess (was NOT in the mood for chipperness..LOL) said that because it was so busy, the kitchen was closed for an hour… CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?????  It really was Friday the 13th.  Ok in the end, we didn’t wait that long.. we got a chance to gab and catch up .. and all was good.

Saturday was a whirlwind.  lineups.. seeing familiar faces.. DIRT.. (still have ink stained arms).. we demo’d our NEW WATERBASED KOI BRUSHES.. they are amazing.. blendable.. vibrant.. beautiful!! Trying to get Ryan to film me working with them… you use THESE BLENDERS.. on this cheap watercolor paper (works AMAZINGLY well on this paper).. I just LOOOVE these markers so much!!

OHHH I also got to spend some quality time with my Vicki Boutin.. is she delish?  (don’t mind my tongue sticking out)

SEEE???? DID YOU MISSS MEE??? HAVE SOOO MUCH TO SAY! Like I was let out of a cage or something..LOL.

Now we have a teeny tiny weeny winy AJ monday on Wednesday.  The theme this week was to write a letter to a loved one and either cover it up, let it shine.. do what you wish with it!

Here is Christy's page

look how CRUNCHY my journal is getting.. is yours?

Here is my page.. wrote a great letter to my kids that I couldn't wait to cover..LOL.. no one will ever know what I wrote .. BWAHAHAHA

Next week’s ART JOURNALING theme is to PAINT!  paint your head off… backgrounds, circles.. whatever you want.. just use your paint.  Don’t forget to put wax paper in between your pages so they don’t stick

I am putting new goodies online as we speak and putting new things in my SPECIALS section.. keep checking!

Also forgot to mention Bellarific Friday theme this week!  it’s an ebrubella sketch
