Collage Journal entry

Here's my Collage Journal entry for this week, phew I managed to catch up before the start of the new week!!

This page features the packaging from an ephemera pack, washi tape, charcoal pencil, wax pastel crayons, gesso, stamps, seam binding, book paper, a silver brad & staples. A bit of an experimental messy page but I am happy with the end result. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Music Video - Ant Music by Adam and the Ants

I love Music and quite often I have nights where I will search through You Tube for video clips of what I feel like listening to at the time. My taste varies, I like a wide variety of styles. Tonight I was in an early 80's mood & a very early favourite of mine was Adam & the Ants, I loved 'Adam's' costumes, he looked very cool lol, I even had some of those feather clips when I was younger hehehe.

...so unplug the jukebox and do us all a favour, that music's lost it's taste so try another flavour..Antmusic!!..

I'll try this post again and hopefully it won't disappear into cyberspace!!! o.O LOL

Welcome to another Collage Monday post! Ok, I confess I did miss a week, but life got in the way, my kids went back to school and I had a bit to do! I did, however make a start on it last week and finished it on Sunday lol, so I think I'm safe! For this page the background is a inked up piece of greaseproof paper stuck to the pages, I spread some titan buff golden fluid acrylic paint around the edges, then I collaged small pieces of random ephemera paper bits and added some Tim Holtz filmstrip and finished with the title using both Kaisercraft & Glitz alpha stickers. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

She Art canvas share

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a canvas I did a while back of a She Art girl. This is the first 'girl' I've actually shared!

She Art was created by Christy Tomlinson >>> linky in side bar, Christy currently has 2 online workshops which teaches you how to create your own She Art girls, I've taken both and loved them.

For this canvas, I used products which Christy designed specifically for She Art, combination of die cuts, paints, Faber Castell india ink pens, plastic doily stencil, printed papers, rubons and a couple of other items.

Hope you like her, it is titled 'She knew she was loved'

Have a great Tuesday! :)

Collage Journal entry

Here's my Collage Monday journal entry for this week.

For this weeks collage I stuck down some scraps of paper I had leftover from doing a scrapbook layout. I added some french book text and sprayed some pink glimmermist, added a tag with some flowers, book text and glimmermist and a title with some glitz alphas and thickers.

Thanks for looking!

Canvas & Journal cover share & a layout spoiler!!

Hello! ok, so I know I'm a little thin on the posts lol and I noticed that my last 2 were about the same topic Collage Monday 'weekly'!! And considering I have nearly finished my collage page for this week, I was like hmmm, 3 posts in a row may not be that exciting!

Sooooooo, to mix it up a bit, for a change lol, I'm going to share a few things with you!

First up, this is a canvas I did a couple months back. It is a 8x8 size and is based on a monthly Mixed Media kit by Mixed Media Artist Christy Tomlinson in her Scarlet Lime store HERE

Each month Christy does a video tutorial canvas of that particular months kit. The one I am sharing is from April, HERE is Christy's canvases (she did 3), and here is mine, which I pretty much just replicated into one.

Next up is a Journal cover I recently finished (still working on the contents of the journal so that will be a later post). The journal is a Montage Daybook by Amy Tan for American Crafts, it is part of the 'sketchbook' range (I am loving this range right now!. The actual book cover has camera pics all over it and originally it was my intention to have the images peeking through but it just didn't work out that way! It is very messy and grungy and it was loads of fun to do! It was inspired by an online class I took with Christy Tomlinson called 'Your Living Canvas' Christy actually worked in one of these books for one part of the class and this is my version.

And finally, I have a spoiler and a bit of a surprise...well more a surprise for me lol, I have actually done a scrapbook 'paper' layout! I have not done a traditional actual layout page for um, gosh, maybe nearly 2 years??! I'm really liking it and I've wanted to do this style for a long time, here's a sneak peak and I promise I will share later....long as I like how it turns out hehehe, I just have little finishing touches to do.

Finally, please go and check out my friend Lita's blog as I mentioned she is also doing Collage Monday, plus has recently done a great blog post about her Travel Art Kit! Awesome how it all came together, I am definitely on the hunt for a suitable carry bag for my supplies, something more practical & compact than a shopping bag which is heavy, bulky & just not cute! lol


Thanks for letting me share & look out for my Collage Monday 'weekly' page tomorrow :)
