Learning about Art Journaling {and other stuff}~


Good Monday morning!!  I have been busy scrappin' and being crafty~Some of what I have been up to, I can't show but decided to share some sneek peeks of a new class I'm taking!!!  It is called Soul Restoration by Melody Ross/Brave Girls~I'm enjoying it so much and especially all the art techniques~she is a whiz at this stuff.


This is the cover of one of my art journals~these are sneeks!!I don't want to give away her class. It is one of those that you need to go through the class to experience it for yourself and then you can decide the value!!


Inside sneek~adding art techniques with journaling~


A mini album~love using the old dictionary paper to cover chipboard!!  I used the Claudine Hellmuth Studio acrylic paints{watered down a bit} to add color to my pages.  For the collaging part~ I used Modge podge{Melody's choice}for this type of work.


The bird cage is by Tim Holtz and adhered with Helmar 450, fast becoming my go-to glue.  I used Kaiser pearls for the centers of the flowers. The flower punch is by Martha Stewart.


All of the images are by Melody Ross ~ super talented girl!!! Amazing ability she has been blessed with~ 
Hope you will be back for Try it Tuesday and something really cool for Wednesday!!! See ya soon!!

  2. I like your journal! I found a journal I made several years ago -- decorated cover, but nothing inside. I started pasting bits and things in it this weekend. Such fun!

    Thanks for sharing your journal, and I love Brave Girl messages!
