A gorgeous sketch!  Choose whichever one that inspires you more 🙂

Mwah to da sistahs who’s jeans aren’t TIGHT.. LOL

Don’t forget to comment for a chance to win $1o in bella bucks and of course to say hi to da bella 🙂

Hiya sistahs..  a very happy Passover to all who celebrate with me 🙂

So today’s theme for Art Journaling TOOSDAY was a free for all… let’s see what da aj sistahood came up with shall we?

I decided to use our new DUDA stamp YOURS TRULY… I so love that stamp so much!

I also was playing around with my art supplies and found a new technique for colouring in mixed media which I will share at a later date.. so here’s my spread with ribbon and scribble and oil pastels and vintage music sheets…

I just love to peer into other people’s journals.. is that wrong?????

Ok as you may know.. every week is an “open week”… I just want you to play and have fun.. I will assign a prompt and if it inspires you, then use it, if not, just make any page that inspires you and send it in easy peasy n’k?

Next week’s theme is to use the “NEGATIVE” of a punch… so if you punch out a heart, I want you to use the frame of the heart or the “heart hole” in the paper… make sense?  or you can draw a shape, cut it out and use the negative…

clear as mud?

Don’t forget Bellarific Friday this week 🙂

see you in a bit!

mwah
