Where are you Springtime??

      The weather has been tricky the last week or so, just when I think it looks like spring..... it starts to snow. Or hail.  And then the sun comes out again, it's bizarre, and a little gloomy. I am ready for warm days, bright sunshine, blue skies and fresh cut green grass. I think that was what I had floating around in my head when I started the background for this Art Journal Page.

     I cannot get enough of the Dylusions Ink Sprays, they are so bright and vibrant. As soon as Karen got in the brand new colors I had to go down and get them to add to my collection :) I also got to try out one of the new Tim Holtz Distress Paints on this page, I LOVE the way it worked!

The products I used in this Journal Page are; 

Tim Holtz Distress paint- Mustard Seed-

   Thanks for letting me share a page of my Art Journal , I am wishing you all a week full of Sunshine!!!

Art Journaling makes me Happy

         I am super excited to be joining the Paper Pals Design team!! Some of you have seen me down at Paper Pals hanging out with Karen, I am there all the time checking out what new great Art Supplies she has gotten in. So much fun stuff to play with!!!

One thing that I really enjoy doing, probably because it makes me slow down and relax is Art Journaling. To put it simply- It makes me Happy  :)

So I wanted to share with you my most currently finished Art Journal Page, I am working in my Dyan Reaveley Dylusions Journal, it is Awesome!!
My favorite for Art Journaling for sure-

I love this quote- Encourage your Hopes not your Fears- I don't know who its from, I found it on Pinterest and just had to put it in my Art Journal.
