{Trampled Rose Art Journal}

Hello My Friends! I recently started a new art journal and today wish to share with you one of the many layouts I have been creating over the past several weeks.

This spread has a combination of pattern papers, collage images, ephemera and washi tape. Some paint has also been added.

I really love this size of art journal.

{Sweetie Pie Gothic Arch}

Happy February!

I wanted to share a creation from a few weeks ago…a Gothic Arch. I miss making them, as many of you remember years ago I hosted the Gothic Arch challenge blog. We had a lot of fun then!

I just got over the Polar Vortex hitting my state (Michigan) and very thankful that today reached a high of 16 degrees! I’ve been hiding in the house pretty much the whole week. The worst night it was -42 with the windchill.

I am happy to have February’s arrival today as it is one of my favorite months. It is also my birth month and I will be embracing the age of 55 this year. I love that it is a month full of hearts (Valentine’s Day) too!

I hope wherever you are you are warm. Winter came so late this year, but I’ve had enough of extreme cold.

{Happy Hearts in 2019}

Happy New Year! Miss Adelaide was getting her Valentine look today. Complete with mylar heart garland. It is one of my favorite holiday’s (former florist and February baby)…and I look forward to it during the winter months.

Today, I was able to have a little creative time. I have been suffering from a full blown head cold since New Year’s Day. It is the worst I have had in years. This little heart is made using some tinsel I found at the dollar store last year, silver paper cleaners, pattern papers, ephemera, images, stickers and buttons.
