stamped {art journaling & video}

loved the playfulness of these pages,... the colors and stamping; the pencil and scratches. 

i love the stamp's nondescript, abstract shape with misshaped circles.

some of the irregularity of the stamp is my ink pad....thinking i need a new one; but, didn't mind that on these pages.

like this stamp? it is part of my set of stamps i created and can be found at Roben Marie's PaperBag Studios.

below is a quick video of the pages. you can find me on youtube here.

happy wednesday.

a favor....

i have a favor to ask.....are you an etsy shopper? yes, no?......would you be willing to take a peek at my newly updated etsy store?

i have been updating some things like my banner, shop information and item titles and i would love some feedback. if you have just a moment- will you follow the link and see what you think- then stop back and leave me a comment?

like the bag shown above? want to see more? i will be listing that lined bag later today.

news...

when i had gotten home from work yesterday i had learned that the very talented Mindy Lacefield had used my stamp in her video post. she used it in a very creative way.......Do you know Mindy? i bet you have seen her girls- always adorable! check out Mindy's blog post and watch her work through her process. LOVED IT!

so honored... thank you, thank you Mindy!

happy tuesday!

I was able to fix my postcard transformation video (with a little help from our youngest son.....)!! Take a peek to watch my process of transforming the Artpops card into the above mixed media postcard.

happy thursday!

one thing...

do you ever feel  a bit off for some reason? not quite focused on exactly what you are supposed to be doing? you can't quite put your finger on this limbo of life, but, you are off just a bit. feeling the need for some studio time to right this off-balance and find my one thing.

xo......

postcards

a few of you had asked for a video and i was hoping to deliver.....although my editing skills are not exactly tip-top (clearly.....as this part took a long, frustrating while)- so you can imagine how disappointed i am when i was hoping to share my video this morning and let you watch my process- but after watching my video when it was posted to youtube and it was not good and i had to pull it....sorry.

i will have to try again.

love the pink and mix of collage and stamps.

i used Roben-Marie's Artpops cards again as the base and worked over the top with collage, paint and my new Dream Thicket stamps. both the cards and stamps are available at Paperbag Studios.
