Almost end of summer.

Wow, can you believe it is the end of the summer? Time just flying and I am not doing much but getting my art on. Here are a few things I made this week.

These are some tip-ins for art journal books.

The start of a new art journal book, another record book but this one is from 1963. I also used my Marilyn Monroe stencil which I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

I love how this came out.

This is a cover I did to finish of an art journal book I have been working on for awhile.

The book itself is from an estate sale I went to in the beginning of summer. It is the record book from 1954 of a local doctor office. Pretty cool.

I got some new Prima Marketing Finnabair Art Extravagance Texture Paste!!!! 

For this layout I used their Texture Paste - Black Sand. I love how really gritty this one is, awesomeness!!!

For this layout I used their  Texture Paste - Platinum Crackle, this one did not thrill me at all.

I did use a heat gun on one side of the page and on the other I let it dry over night.

 Both were about the same effect. I used Tim Holtz Distress Stains on top and like how it came out.

The graphic is from last months Sport Illustrated magazine.

 My artsy friend, Jackie sent me the carton of a 6 pack of beer with skulls on it. Finally got to use it and my new sugar skull duct tape too :) .... The sunflowers are some real photos my artsy friend, Lori gave me. 

This started with some dylusions acrylic paints and inks, I drew the flowers with neo-crayons

I added some water to let it get the drippy look. I got the skull stencil from my dear artsy friend, Dori.

I love how this came out, don't ask me why. lol

I book down and got the new issue of "Art Doll" what a wicked cool magazine.

Well that is it for this week. Many many thanks for stopping by.

Have a great week!! Until next time "Get your art on"

Let it go, Let it go......

Let it go, Let it go......

I don't want to say anything other then "I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart" It time to let it go and move on. I wish you all the best. 

Hugs and Blessings,

Tamie

ARTFUL JOURNEYS - Week #30 - Paint with your 3 fave colors AND

ARTFUL JOURNEYS - Week #30 - Paint with your 3 fave colors AND then stamp thru a stencil over the top of it!

As you can see I didn't follow this weeks prompt like a good girl. Nope I went off the grid a bit. I did some sample of using a stamp on a stencil but dummy me was using block stamps and not foam (slapping hand against forehead, DOH!!!)

But I do love how my page came out. I only really used one color of paint the blue and very little of it at that. I use black paint to make the beginning of my circles and some red paint on an end of a toilet paper roll and then I broke out my gellatos. I did use an alpha stencil on the inside of the circles and the red ink diamonds. I also used a wood block alpha stamp on background as well. The crazy girl is a part of a collage sheet from Tumble Fish Studio. I also make my own wordart bits.

Here is are a couple other pages  I made in an art journal book I am working on.

I used my Golden high flows acrylics in this one and my neocrayons.

I had a few butterfly die cuts my dear friend, Lynn set me. I also used my Golden high flows acrylics and neocrayons, I love this combo of media. 

• I used a couple art postcards and lots of wrapping paper in this one.

I used my new stencils and alpha stamps. I even drew my own flowers.

One of my dear artsy friends, Skye asked ME to help her out with 10 other artsy gals to make a page for a calendar she is going to have printed up and we will sell them. How flipping cool is that. So here is mine for the month of August.

The vintage gal is from one of  Holliewood Studios kits. The alphas I printed up they are a freebie at MischiefStudios.  I really love how she came out.

Here are some ATC's I also made. 

Well that is it for this week, thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon.
