Listen

 

The last one (4/4) - listen to your body.

My body is trying to tell me something - I have to learn to listen and to understand this magic language.

The last collage with images (stamps) from Carabelle studio.

Thoughts in a journal.

 Reading Magnus Fridhs book about calmness I started filling this page with "the essence" of his words.

The background is acrylic, rub-ons and Birgit Koopsens stamp "rainbow is my favorite color".

It is ok to feel sad.

 

An art journal page inpired by France Papillon and our January weather in Luxembourg.

And I do think it is important to allow ourselves to feel sad once in a while.

Here I`ve used the stamps Daniel Torrentes "Friend" and Birgit Koopsens "rainbow is my favorite color" .

The background is inspired by France Papillon as she shows her "a layer a day" on You-tube.

Wishing you a lovely January - time for happiness as well as for sadness ( if needed).

Take care out there!

#fillatinyjournal polka dots

 

This week iHanna asks for polka dots.

This spread is made with distress inks, lyrics from on old swedish song, poscapens and a "sticker" from Old Memory, Vintage Lady collection. I thought that this lady here, wearing a polka dot blouse, must be perfect for the challenge.

Stay safe!

February challenge prompt for Mixed Up creative Academy

Another page in my art journal.

This time the prompt at Mixed Up creative Academy is about music.
Since December the song "Memories" by Maroon 5 seems to follow me  - I just can`t get it out of my head. So, of course, I had to use the lyrics for my page.

The tutor Jennifer Gallagher taught us how to create a kind of galaxy with sprays, inks and splatter.

Getting started - a new Art Journal on its way.

Looking at Mixed Up Creative Academy and what they all "get done", I felt like starting art journaling again. Getting inspiration from Katy Leitch as well as having a lot of time for ME - I started with this page.
Digging through my old supplies, I found my "old" stencils, distress inks, blending and hej ho, here we go - my beloved rubbons!!! Sooo funny to use it all again!

Wishing you all a nice day, stay healthy and don`t forget to smile!

Mixed up creative academy - my front page.

the word SILENCE , this time for Craft Barn

This spread is my entry for the Craft Barn`s Q&L Challenge which is Dazzle and/or Silence.

I used the lyrics from "Enjoy the silence" by Depeche Mode.

The whole spread is VERY much inspired by Dina Wakley - I feel that I need those colours right now - to warm me up in this cold and wet time of the year.

Stamps used; Stampotique, Zettiology, Hero art.

Wish you all a nice week!
