What I admire - a confidences in my art journal

Hello and welcome,

I want to show you an art journal page I made for the ShowusyourMEdia challenge this month.

The theme is to create a piece of art about what you admire. Is it a grand admiration or is it small and simple? How does what you admire enrich your life?

I admire people who brighten up my day and are happy which gives more of themselves than what they take, Those who dare to show happiness and joy. Happiness is what I admire the most.

Happy People enrich my life by beeing happy. You happy, me happy. That is very contagious.

 I have used the burlap page in my Dina wakley Media journal. I stamped the woman on cardboard. Cut out in a square and stretched around with a black pen. Outside the frame I wrote "I admire people who brighten up my day and are happy which gives more of themselves than what they take".

Materials:- Dina Wakley's Media Journal

- Dina Wakley's Scribbly women stamp

- Dina Wakley's Circle Script stamps
- Dina Wakley's Scribble sticks
- Dina Wakley's Collage paper

- Archival ink in black and pink

- Black pen

- White cardstock

- Dina wakley's Ultra thick Matte Medium

Thank you so much for stopping by! Take care. And remember; "Always look on the bright side of life..."

Decorating the front cover of Mini File Folder Art Journal - video tutorial - Step three

Hello and welcome!

I have made a series on how to make a Mini File Folder Art Journal from the start to finish. This is a tutorial on how I decorated the front cover of the Mini File Folder Art Journal. There will also be videos of how to decorate the pages inside the book. I will show you a lot of fun techniques and a lot of very funny pictures with hilarious texts designed by Betsy Skagen. 

My idea is to make a book filled with humor. It's so small that it can be with me in my purse and I can draw and doodle whenever I want to. And I can just take a look at the pages/pictures the book when I feel a bit down.

My thought is that it will be a never ending book. I can add more pages with ex. washi tape, I can stamp, I can draw and doodle and make marks. I can add bits and pieces, you know - everything is allow in mixed media.

I hope you will enjoy the video.

Tomorrow I come back with a new video on how to decorate a page inside the Mini Art Journal with a image/focal point designed by Betsy Skagen as mentioned above. Here is a sneak peak:

The printables I've used on the front of my Mini File Folder Art Journal is from Mixed Up Magazine Merhandise.

Reuse of a red wine wooden box - From wine storage to art

Hello and welcome,
I know it's been very long since I've shown you something on my blog. But you who know me and who follow me probably know why. Anyhow here is a fun project I want to share with you:

This is a wooden box of red wine that I received for Christmas last year. I have been drinking the wine a long time ago :-) 

I started with some gesso and paint:

And then I used the napkin and glued it into the background inside and also tore it into pieces an glued it on the outside of the Box.

Those little People is from Tim Holtz Collection. 

I used fishing laces to hang up the stars. I used 3D foam glue to attach light to the ceiling of the Box.

What do you think of my project? I think I need more wooden boxes :-) 

Thank you for visiting!

Digi Junk Journal sneak peak and some collage art journal spread

Hello and welcome.

What's more fun and relaxing than sitting down in the room or by the kitchen table and just painting, cutting, gluing, spraying etc? 

Answer: Nothing 😊 

This is something everyone should have done. At least once in a while. It's not hard either, it's just to go with the flow. 

I have spent a lot of time in my room lately and have very many big and small projects on the go. Today I will show you one of them. You can call it a sneak peak. I will come back and show the finished result, with a flip thru when the book is all done. I hope you will come back then also.

And here is another project. Not so big, but fun. It is in my small Dylusions art journal. Painted and stenciled background and collage/printables on the top.

Very fun, and I am very satisfied with the result.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful and creative day!

A tiny tag inside a tiny junk journal

Hello and welcome,

today I want to show you my interpretation of the August Challenge at Dina Wakleys Media Tribe on facebook.

It's the top of a tiny tag, inside my tiny junk journal. I've used Dina Wakley's Paint in colors Magenta, Lime and Turquoise. The rose is a cut out from a Magazine and the sentence is cut out from a old book ("The sea is never completely black", in Norwegian).

I will soon come back and show you more inside my tiny junk journal. Stay tuned! 

I wish you a wonderful and creative day.

Hugs, Anita

En Manilla Tag som bryllupskort - Størst av alt er kjærligheten

Hei og velkommen kjære venner!

I dag vil jeg vise dere en tag jeg har laget i forbindelse med utfordringen som er i gang på Hjerteboden sin blogg. Denne måneden handler det om kjærlighet, og jeg har laget en tag som man for eksempel kan gi bort til et brudebar.

Forsiden har jeg laget som et collage, ved å klippe og stanse ut og rive forskjellige designpapir fra Maja Design som alle er å få kjøpt i Hjerteboden sin nettbutikk. Jeg har også brukt litt stempling, washitape og annen pynt. Jeg har laget en lomme bak som man enten kan putte et gavekort oppi eller  en pengeseddel, his man foretrekker det.

Her ser du lommen som jeg har laget av Maja Design papir og washitape. Hjertet oppe i høyre hjørne er et stempel fra Rubber Dance. Over lommen er det masse god plass til å skrive noen bevingede ord til mottakeren.

Her følger noen tett på bilder av noen detaljer:

Skriften i bakgrunnen er et stempel fra Rubber Dance, som jeg har stemplet med brun Archival ink. Sommerfuglene er fra Wycianka og kan kjøpes i Hjerteboden sin nettbutikk. Disse  har jeg farget rundt kantene med blå Distress ink.

Hjertet er Resindekor som kan kjøpes i Hjerteboden sin nettbutikk, og blomsten i håret på kvinnen er fra mitt eget stæsj.

Manilla Tagen kan du også få kjøpt i Hjerteboden sin nettbutikk. Her har jeg brukt størrelsen #12.

Dett var dett for denne gang. Håper jeg ga deg inspirasjon til å være med på månedens utfordring hos Hjerteboden. Alt er lov bare det er kjærlighet i det :-)

Tusen takk for at du stakk innom, og kanskje du har tid til å legge igjen en liten hilsen? Det hadde jeg i så fall satt veldig stor pris på.

Sees snart!

Klem, Anita
