Paper, Mixed Media, Art Journaling Craftalong 2025

Great cards @geekgirl

I’m converted to the date stamp you all are using, I think I’ll have to go back and add. When I get home, which won’t be until late tomorrow night.

We bitch and moan about the rain in Ireland, but I’m looking forward to getting out of the heat!

I made 2 ICADs today


And painted this page.
I bought a class from painting with Yvette
It’s about putting background color on half the page and leaving half white. Then using color and shapes to pull the 2 sides together.
I’ve been enjoying it

Catch up time …

Simple collage playing around

Pelican sketches from our overnight trip to the coast. They were having lots of arguments, very entertaining to watch.

Cards #28 & 29

As for cards 24 to 27, I put them down on my desk so I could type on them and now they are hiding. I’ll find them! Probably in a book for flattening.

I’m finally home! While the holiday was great, it’s lovely to be home where it’s cool and green.

I’m trying to leave white space, not good at it!

#12

Turns out I don’t think I have a date stamp. I’ll have to rectify that omission!

Love the pelicans!

Are the clouds a die cut or stencil?

These cards are all looking so cool! I’m having a busy time and finding it hard to make something every day, but you’re all inspiring me to keep trying.

I just drew them on the back of the collage paper and cut them out. Actually, now you’re giving me ideas, a homemade stencil could be fun to make.

I’ve been watching you people smash book for years & feeling torn between being too precious about books & wanting to join the fun. Last weekend we sorted through and got rid of vast quantities of ancient computer stuff my father had saved & my mother couldn’t see ever wanting again, and I snagged a couple of spiral bound manuals for things like 35-year-old backup drives & have been scribbling away with paint pens to make background pages.

welcome to the dark side!

Also maybe find a torn falling apart book or ratty kid’s book to use

I have a couple vintage ones that were passed on to me for being too racist to put in little free libraries, but they all need a bit more tlc in the binding department first.

Cards #30, 32, and 33
(Some are hiding in books again - I’ll find them!)
