The First Step in a Journey

I'm adding this page for Day 30 of the 30 day coloring challenge by Kathy Racoosin. 

This page was simple to make, I used tissue wrap to cover the Maya Road chipboard mini page. Distress crayons were used to add color to tissue wrap background and TH new botanical flowers. 

The bird is a die cut made from chipboard using my Silhouette die cut machine. I painted the bird using acrylic paints. 

The quote is from Tim's new clippings stickers.

Sweet Memories

This page was simple to make for my Day 29 of the 30 day coloring challenge by Kathy Racoosin.
The background was made with my Gelli Printing Plate, acrylic paints and a stencil I made with .005 film and my Silhouette machine.  The cling rubber little girl stamped image was inked with archival black ink on manila card stock and then watercolored using a water brush. I inked and stamped two quote stamps and a scallop die cut from my stash to finish this page.

Little Girls Page

I'm adding this page for Day 28 of the 30 day coloring challenge by Kathy Racoosin. 

This page began with tissue wrap applied with collage medium onto my Maya Road chipboard mini page. Next, I scraped a little bit of gesso over the tissue wrap and then rubbed distress crayons over the page.

Next, I inked a portion of Heidi Swapp 6x6 inch clear stamp with Archival library green and stamped on the background.
I used found relative from Tim Holtz package, it was matte with black card stock and applied to page using collage medium. 

I inked a Dyan Reaveley cling flower stamped image on glossy card stock, color with watercolors, cut-out and then applied to page with a small leaf. 

Three metal embellishments by Paper Studio were applied with glossy accents. 

A tiny bit of color from distress crayons were used on the found relatives. 

In the Garden

Good day everyone! This was an easy page to make. I used distress crayons to color the background of this mini book page, and then I used one of the birds and one of the butterflies from Tim's new botanical package, words from Tim's new clippings stickers and three tiny flowers and leaves that I  made from his tiny tattered floral thinlits dies. 

I'm adding this page for Day 27 of the 30 day coloring challenge by Kathy Racoosin. 

Be Original page 3

I covered this page using Tim's tissue wrap along with one of the flower images from his Botanical Layers. Distress crayons were used on the background and both moth. The be original is from Tim's chit chat. 

I adding this page for day 26 of Kathy's 30 day coloring challenge. 

Amazing You Page 2

This is page 2 of the 8 page mini book I started yesterday.

I used acrylic paint with my Gel Press to make this background and apply it to my chipboard page.

"Amazing you" is another stamp and die from Richard Garay collection. The image was inked with archival black on white card stock and then die cut using my Vagabond. Inking foam tool with distress ink was used to soften the edges of die cut image. Little girl image was inked with archival and matte to black card stock and applied to mini book using collage medium. I added a tiny bit of color using distress crayons to stamped image. I added vintage photo around edges of mini book page to finish. 

I'm adding this page as my Day 25 of 30 day coloring challenge over on Kathy Rocoosin blog. 

Mixed Media Mini Book Pg.1

I'm adding this page for Day 24 of the 30 day coloring challenge by Kathy Racoosin. 

I used Tim's collage medium to apply tissue wrap to cover page and then used a plastic spatula to apply a little gesso over the tissue wrap. 

Next, I added a little bit of distress crayons using my fingers to spread out and over the page. 

The little girls image is from Tim's new supplies called; Paper Dolls, these were purchased at JoAnn's. I added trimmed black card stock around the little girls. 

 "Today is the day" stamp and die set by Richard Garay purchased at Hobby Lobby.

Prima flowers, glitz, and a 4x8 inch Maya Road rectangular tabbed chipboard album was purchased at Tuesday Morning. 

All images were applied using collage medium purchased at Michael's. 

Mixed Media Journal Book Page 4

Hi! This is page 4, click here to view link for pages 1, 2 and 3 on my Mixed Media Journal Book.
I'm adding this as day 23 of color challenge for the 30 day coloring challenge by Kathy Rocoosin. 

This page was done using a mixture of supplies. Tim Holtz Distress crayons,  Michael's modeling paste with TH scribbles layering stencil, more distress crayons, stamped image (Dina Wakley) cut out and added color with distress crayons and a water brush, stamped quote inked with archival black and then TH distress ink edged around trimmed stamped sentiment.  (sentiment stamp unknown)

I used TH collage medium to apply both images to page.

I was very pleased with the results using the scribbles layer stencil on this page even though it had to be turned several times since the page was larger than the stencil. I had already added the woman image before adding the modeling paste which made it more difficult adding the stencil. 

I've been gone from my home the last 6 days, I took stamping supplies with me and when I felt like it I made this page and worked on 4 x 8" mini book. We were visiting my mother while I went to a heart doctor, he will remove my loop recorder if I don't have any more heart issues in the next six months, a pain management doctor that gave me 2 shots in my back and a neurologist that gave me Botox in my forehead, my temples, head and back of neck for the migraines and headaches. I've had nonstop pain the past 3 months. I've had migraines and headaches most of my life but in the last year they have been worse. Late fall and early spring when with weather changing makes the headaches and migraines especially bad. So far I haven't seen any improvement from the Botox. The doctor said it might take one more set of shots before it helps. And then some it never helps.
