{art technique} the artwork above is from one of my clean up pages. I clean my brushes and stamps onto another page in my journal. often times these random marks create a beautiful springboard for my journaling. I used this stamp set from my new Graffiti Glam collection, stamped through a dyed paper towel, added a wash from my paintbrush then scribbled with Prismacolor pencils.

Hi Traci, Love your creativity! Here is a link to a recent art journal page I made: http://marciabeckett.blogspot.com/2013/01/art-journal-page-using-scrapbook-paper.html

Traci, I love these ideas and the way you create and always keep it fresh and fun!! I had the flu over the weekend and felt so yucky but come Wednesday I was feeling so dang good and had to paint and play. It was funny to realize just how good healthy feels and to be thankful for that. The day was spent creating lots of fun things just for me.

I've been working in this new journal/planner all month and just posted it on my blog. It's been keeping me happy all month, just little bits everyday of what ever feels right.

Would love to have you see it:

Happy Weekend!
