For ever and ever... A cover for our anniversary cards

I am in love!!! With mixed media!!! I didn't realize how much fun and rewarding this would feel. I decided to take a break from my art journal to create some pieces of mixed media. I created an art canvas but can't post it yet. I would like to send it to the person I am gifting it to first. So I got brave and made a cover for our anniversary cards. Believe it or not but I used an empty microwaveable popcorn box for the front and back cover. I am no where near being done but I am soooo excited about the front cover that I just had to post. I used white flowers that inked to color coordinate,  acrylic paints,  rub ons, lave, bling, and even some leftover rhinestones we used on the tables and a copy of the cd cover I made for the cds of our favorite 25 love songs.  Yes, it was our 25th anniversary last year and I just can't bare to put the cards away in a box. I think this will be a great way to always cherish the memory of our celebration with our friends and loved ones. Thanks for stopping by. 

My Art Journal - Mi Pajarito

Mi pajarito - means my lil bird. That's what my Wellita (grandma) Luz used to call me.  She said it was because I ate like a bird.  I was a lil thing back then. I guess that's why I love birds. My grandma was a very resourceful lady. She loved gardening, cooking, sewing and was very creative. I believe that's where my creative bone comes from. She was a very strong woman with the most beautiful long hair. I miss you Lita Luz 💚. Much love and respect

My Art Journal

I love the different techniques that I have learned in art journaling and all the ideas from the free Journal 52 prompts.  But I think I am ready to create my own pages and style.  After lots of research and You tube videos I have come to the conclusion that art journaling is a creative expression of my thoughts, feelings, moods, inspiration and artistic journey of my past, present and future.

So my first solo flight into this journey is about beauty. Not the outer shell of our body but the inner being. I truly believe that it's your inner core that makes a person BEAUTIFUL. So dare to be Be YOU tiful.  Much love and respect. ...

Rain or Shine - creating is always on my mind.  For this prompt I went really simple. I squirted paint with water I use molding paste and paint send I used my stencils with the morning paint and I used my Faber Castell pitt artist big brush pen. I wasn't sure what to use as my quote and then it hit me....no matter what day is it or what kind of weather or where I'm at I'm always thinking about creating. Thanks for stopping by. 

Journal 52 week 12

A day in the life of me: this one was a lil difficult to create. But I decided to just go with it and pull out some pieces of paper that I loved and scribble most of the things I do or think about during my day.

Week 11 Stars: When I look at these stars. ..they mean more to me. More because of the ones that never came home. More because of the ones that made it home but are scarred for life. More because of our service to God, Country and our Corps. Semper Fi,  Lcpl Johnson & Cpl Johnson USMC. This prompt truly inspired me to remember our fellow service men and women, as well as, the brotherhood that lives within us forever. Dedicated to my husband, My Marine!
