Hello Lovelies, I hope you have a very Happy Holiday and a Rockin New year...
It's been a tough month for me here, but that's another story... It has also been a semi productive time since I last posted. I got two online classes for Christmas this year and that makes me very very happy. I am taking the Book of Days class with Effy Wild and Life Book 2013 with Tamara Laporte and a plethora of other teachers!!! I am super excited about that!!!
I wanted to show you what I have been working on since I am going into surgery tomorrow and will not be able to post for a few days.... Well I prolly could but I am not!!!
First I made an ATC. Something different for me. I saw on YT Jenniebellie make a journal page like this and though it was cute so I decided to make an ATC replica of it....
Just a little whimsical play going on here!!!

Then I decided that I wanted to make my own journal instead of buying one for Book of Days (BOD)… So I did it… and I liked it so much that I made a mini journal to carry around with me!!! They are made from 140lb cold press watercolor paper folded in half (canson brand). The cover is canvas I bought by the yard from JoAnne craft store…
Big journal for BOD it is 9x12 so the watercolor pad was 18x24!
Here is the mini journal…. I can’t remember what size the paper pad was for this one but it was like 9x6 or a little bigger, not much though!!

Mostly I have been working on a new look for some of my art work! I love to go to the thrift stores to find old metal things, anything I think will add textures..The Habitat for Humanity resale store is good for this as well!!! I found some wicked sweet 2 part drawer pulls for $1 each!!! I am going to use those on some canvas ideas I have!!! Anyway, I did a personal swap, a 1-4-1 swap with one other person and so I was working in miniature with this one… I love how it turned out and one day I may do a tutorial on it but not soon… sorry guys!
This is just a watercolor ATC blank that I put pattern paper on(like dress patterns) some buttons and lots and lots of different small metal things!!
