Art Journaling ~ The Future

Hello and thanks so much for visiting.  I'm sharing a loose page from my small (5 X 7) journal today. The background is DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics. I chose Jessica Sporn's door stencil (StencilGirl Products) for my focal image. I've stenciled with black paint, and stamped the sentiment (Technique Tuesday) in black Archival Ink.  Linking to Art Journal Every Day.

I've had a renewed burst of energy in my studio cleaning and reorganization project, and can't believe all the fun things I've been finding that have been relegated to the backs of drawers and bins for some time.  I'm confident now that I have gone through about 70% of what's here… scary what amasses after 16 years of crafting! I'll give myself the rest of the summer to finish up as it's a slow-going process.

Online Craft Supply Tag Sale

Needless to say all this reorganizing has led to filled boxes for the next installment of my Online Crafty Tag Sale.  I'll be sharing the next listings in the Facebook Group next week.  I continue to ship to USA only (I'm sorry, international friends, but it's just too time consuming to check rates for all inquiries and the US flat rate keeps it simple).

    I had to smile at what you say you found…. I have only been at it for 8 years and I dread to think what I have tucked away. Love your page, the colours are gorgeous and a good reminder to stencil with paint! Hugs, Anne xx

    Hi Margie,
    Quick question, hope you don’t mind. I saw that you are using a 5×7 size journal with removable pages. I’ve been looking for something like that and would you mind sharing what type you purchased? Thank you so very much. My email is [email protected]. Again, thank you.

      Never hesitate to ask questions, Kathy. I am happy to help. That’s the smaller of the two Ranger (Dyan Reaveley) art journals. I love it!
