Art Journalling Monday!

I have been having so much fun participating in the TGF Heart Journalling Class, plus I have done Christy Tomlinson's Art Journalling class as well, OMG there are way too many new things that I want/NEED...hehe!

I thought I would share with you some more of my pages. I have to say that I have found Art Journalling to be really helpful in getting some things off my chest and expressing how I'm feeling! You know the old saying, "Better out than in" I definitely think this is true! Anyway hope you like my pages!

Time to Play!

I was lucky enough to attend the 'Copic Conference' with the Lovely Sammi and so many other Gorgeous Women the other weekend. 

I had the BEST time!

I actually didn't get much coloring done...too busy gigging at everybody elses gorgeous creations, but I did manage to have a go at a couple of new color combos.

I am just loving this new Pink combo, thanks Sammi!

Hope you get a chance to play over the weekend and maybe try out some new color combos!

Some Art Journalling!

Ok, so I have gotten caught up in the whole Art Journalling craze that is going on at the moment. I have nearly finished Christy Tomlinson's 3 Hearts - Art Journalling online course and I have to say that OMGosh that Woman is one talented lady and I have learn't SO much from her class. I am just LOVING it!

Anyway I have also been participating in the TGF Heart Journalling each week, which is great as there is a new topic each week to use to help prompt you on your pages! So I thought I would share with you a couple of the pages I have done, but I warn you that I am very new to this so please be kind...hehe!

So this page we had to do a Graditude Page. I chooose to do a page just about being thankful about my family. I know I didn't go into any detail, but I had a lot of fun playing with new techniques. If you click on the pictures it will bring up a bigger version for you to see!

Now this page was about layering, which I have done with lots of papers and paints. I just love this color combination. I had just gotten my order of Liquidtex Inks, which is a liquid acrylic paint and OMGosh I love these, I definitely need more colors. The only down side to starting something new like Art JOurnalling is finding all these new and Awesome products that I HAVE to have...hehe!

Anyway Hope you having a nice weekend, it is pretty crappy here, cold and raining, so a perfect day to craft. In fact I have just finished a Scrapbook LO, which I will share with you another time as I don't want to overload anyone! Might go and get a background ready for my next Art Journal Page!
