MEOW PUMPKIN CANVAS

Hello all!  Welcome back!

Fall is on the way which means pumpkins, bittersweet, turning leaves and all the wonderful things of the Fall season will be upon us before we know it.  Fall is my favorite season of the year.  I also love kitties, so I have combined the two in my lastest project for DecoArt's Mixed Media Design Team.

DecoArt is releasing some new paints in tubes from the Traditions line.  I was lucky enough to be given some of them to try.  I LOVE them!  So creamy and smooth going on. New White Gesso as well.  It's amazing!

You can click HERE to be taken to DecoArt's Mixed Media blog.  There you will see all of the details and tutorial photos in creating this whimsical 8"x10" canvas. If you have the time to leave a comment here and/or there, I'd love to read your thoughts.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week!

ALTERED CHILDREN'S BOOK PAGE INTO A MIXED MEDIA JOURNAL PAGE

Greetings Everyone!  As the day hot days of summer linger on, I've been trying to find more time to play in my air conditioned craft studio.

I've been doing some really fun projects for Andy Skinner's Creative Team, DecoArt's International Design Team and Mixed Up Media Magazine.

Here is a peek at my latest art journal page created for DecoArt's Mixed Media Blog.  

I began with a childrens' paper book.  I am transforming it from a childrens' book into an art journal. A great way to explore your creativity and breathe new life into an old, tired children's book that otherwise might find the trash. 

Here is what I started with.  You can go to DecoArt's Mixed Media Blog HERE to see my new and improved art journal creation.  Done with DecoArt's Media products, a magazine girl, some Andy Skinner stencils and other basic tools, this page came together like magic!

Enjoy your summer and take time to explore your creativity!  Have some fun experimenting on new techniques or trying to use the products you already have in interesting new ways!

Thanks for stopping by and if you care to leave a comment here or at DecoArt, I thank you in advance! I always love reading your thoughts.
