A good dream

This page already had stuff on the page. I glued down a piece of Tim Holtz's tissue paper. I sprayed some homemade coffee spray. I let it sit over night to dry. The next day I glued a couple magazine images. Went around them with a black Stabilo pencil. The sticker is from Dream sticker sheet from Cosmo Cricket Tiny text.

playing with layers

This page was just playing with layers. I first stamped the stamp by Prima with black archival ink pad. Then I used painters tape to make circles. Then I played with paints and sprays. I used a stencil that I cut on my Cameo. I took the painters tape off. and went around the circles with a black pen. I then added a sticker from Cosmo Cricket  Tiny Text Art.

It is open for international people too. If you are in the states and don't want an international partner due to postage. (believe me I understand. ) please let me know when you sign up.

Love the Country

I haven't done much art journaling in a while. I picked back up the journal by Prima. Everything i used on this page was on my desk. I used Mod Podge and glued tissue paper to the page. The tree, is a napkin that I glued onto a music sheet, that I used for another journal page. The trim was what was left when I was making cards. I used Aleen's Tacky glue to glue the trim down on the page. Mickey and Donald were from a children's book. I used the text for something else but I didn't want to toss the picture. I fuzzy cut them out and glued glued them on the page like the trim was the path. The sticker was from Cosmo Cricket Tiny Text Country. 

ATC parade

I had accumulated some more ATC starters again. So I took some magazine images to finish them off. The stickers are from Cosmo Cricket Tint Text.
