Hello friends,<br />
<br />
I have been in a scrapbooking jinx off late, so all of this month have been playing in my art journals. My inspiration for this page came from listening to this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skj-ALA1HFE" style="margin: 0px;" target="_blank">video </a> of Oprah Winfrey while going through challenge blogs and scrapbook blogs.<br />

After making the background with lots of handwritten positive affirmations and messages to myself, I started layering some very beautiful 2crafty chipboard pieces and each of these pieces were chosen to add meaning to the message I was journaling. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">As always, all the chipboard pieces were given a coat of white gesso. To color them, I used different techniques as explained below.</span></div>

I was inspired to use this photograph when I saw this moodboard on <a href="https://mixedmediaplace.blogspot.com/2018/09/september-challenge.html" target="_blank">Mixed Media Place</a>. <br />

Is it sunrise or sunset? Don't know, yet its beautiful and the other photographs convey a fuzzy beautiful feeling. I thought back about the time when there was no sense of time - day / night …. you guessed right - with a new baby in hand we were all living by the babys' clock not day and night. Lol.

Hello friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been hoarding these gorgeous Romance Novel Prima Marketing papers for ages. So, finally pulled them out this month and decided to make a layout alongwith my favourite <a href="https://www.lindysgang.com/" target="_blank">Lindy Stamp Gang products.</a> Its spring here in Australia, so I definitely felt like pinks & flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ive fussy cut flowers from Romance Novel pattern papers and collaged it on the background pattern paper before using texture paste and my favourite Lindy Stamp Gang in <a href="https://www.lindysgang.com/products/industrial-chic-magical-shimmer-powders" target="_blank">Shabby Turbine Teal Magicals</a> & <a href="https://www.lindysgang.com/products/cotton-candy-pink" target="_blank">Cotton Candy Pink Shimmer Spray</a>. Ive used Cotton Candy pink spray to also colour the chipboard pieces.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you see the gold foil on the chipboard flowers? I love the shine it adds to the layout. To make this layout extra special, the blue ribbon I've strung through the papers behind the photograph were used to decorate my babys' bassinet.</div>

<span style="color: #666666;">Hello friends,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">My layout today was created last month for the CSI Case File: 255 which was sponsored by <b>2crafty chipboard</b>. Purple is hardly my go to colour, but I decided to try something different and for this used the absolutely stunning <b>Pion Design pattern paper collection - Where the roses grow. </b></span></div>

I've layered many different chipboard pieces in between layers of pattern paper. All the chipboard pieces were first coated with white gesso and then painted over with Colourarte Twinkling H2Os & Vivid Ultra Metallics. All supplies have been listed at the end of this post.</div>

For the mini cluster on the left, half a piece of the <b><span style="color: #666666;">Formal Flourish 3</span></b> has been tucked underneath the light woodgrain paper. Over it is a cluster of flowers along with a piece of <b><span style="color: #666666;">Leafy Twig Branches</span></b>. There are also many fussy cut elements amongst the embellishments.</div>

Earlier this month, I came across this <a href="https://7dotsstudio.com/archives/32239" target="_blank">moodboard</a> at 7dots studio and was wanted to use these beautiful colours on a project. A couple of days after that, my friend and I had a conversation about how intuitive Mother Nature is and if only we could also reconnect with our intuition the same way. These were my thoughts when I set about creating this art journal page.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi friends,</div>
<br />
I love art journaling... it offers so much freedom without any expectations, guidelines, just painting the way you feel like. I did start with the colour palette from Words & Paintery. My art journal is my safe place, where I pour out my feelings, question the direction of my life and record a lot of self talk.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you seen the moodboard at <a href="http://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com.au/2017/10/october-2017-main-challenge-delicate.html" target="_blank">More than Words</a> this month? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was instant inspiration for me & this what I created</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using 2craftychipboard goodies & Prima Marketing medium and flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first thoughts on <b>Delicate </b>: Baby's touch, tissue, flowers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Fabrics</b>: Lace, tissue</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Isnt this dreamcatcher chipboard from 2craftychipboard adorable? </div>

Goes so well with the pretty Prima flowers and bird cages from the Rosibelle Prima pattern papers.</div>

Alongwith using the colours from this prompt, the book inspired me to make a mini album. <br />

'Wings' made me want to try something very different, something I had never thought or tried before - using a gel press to make the background of the layout. The soft colours & the madonna like image made me want to choose this photo of mine with my kids. Brushes ofcourse to splatter & paint all over the page & background. <br />

All
the chipboards were first covered with white gesso, dried and then
painted over with Colourarte Vivid Ultra Metallics. The pink paint on <b><span style="color: #444444;">Doodled Heart </span></b>was looking very bright after painting, so Ive dabbed some white gesso to soften the colour and give a distressed look.</div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Gigi's flowers</b></span>
got the tiniest amount of twinkling H2O watercolour, for the most part
they retain their white from the gesso. The title from the <span style="color: #444444;"><b>Fine Words Set</b></span> was painted over with 3 shades of pink Vivid Ultra Metallics from Colourarte.<br />

All the chipboard pieces were first coated with white gesso. I stuck the <b><span style="color: #444444;">Triangle clusters </span></b>on the layout and then dabbed <b>Twinkling H2Os</b> on
them using a brush; a tiny bit of yellow, a touch of blue and a dot of
red. Remember to leave some white space. It brightens the colours
(visual illusion).<br />

Using
foam dots between the layers of patter paper behind the photograph,
makes it easy to tuck in chipboard to embelish the layout. I outlined
the pattern paper layers and <span style="color: #444444;"><b>Cool Dude Title</b></span> chipboard with a pen so the letters standout.<br />

Hello creative friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
My project today is a grungy, masculine
scrapbook layout using <b>Colourarte's Vivid Ultra Metallics </b>and Primary
Elements Artist Pigments and <b>2crafty chipboard </b>made in May as a Father's day If you are a beginner, this is an easy layout that can be completed within and hour or two including drying time.<br />

Here is a step by step of how the page came together.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1.</b> Start
by applying clear gesso on the pattern paper. Take a closer look at the photo on the
left, you can see a very thin layer of texture paste through a gears
stencil. <br />
<br />
Before adding paints and more, I like to place the photo and
decide on a sketch of sorts so I know where the next layer of paints
should be applied. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2.</b> Stick a few of the pattern papers and wire mesh tape. Mix some <a data-mce-href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/pe-658-spiced-pumpkin/" href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/pe-658-spiced-pumpkin/">Spiced Pumpkin</a>,<a data-mce-href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/pe-193-majestic-blue/" href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/pe-193-majestic-blue/">Majestic Blue</a> Primary Elements Arte Pigments individually with gel medium and a tiny blob of sand texture. Mix well and apply through a stencil as below. <br />
<br />
After applying the paste, I placed the stencil as is and cleaned it on the pattern paper with a dry wipe. That gave the faded brown marks on the far right. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><b>3. </b></b>Dilute some <a data-mce-href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/teal-zircon-1oz-jar-vivid-ultra-metallic/" href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/teal-zircon-1oz-jar-vivid-ultra-metallic/">Teal Zircon</a> Vivid Ultra Metallics and using a paint brush apply around the
stenciled gel paste and spray with water to move the paint around. This
helps reveal the gears texture. This is the reason I gesso the entire layout before adding any medium. I like to use water to make drips and move the paint around. Without gesso, the paper will soak up the paint and it wont move as much. <br />
<br />
<br />
You can use a heat gun to dry the paints, but I didnt want to wake the kids with my noisy heat gun. So, I went on to prepare my embellishments while the background air dried.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><b>4. </b></b>Apply a layer of white gesso on all the 2crafty chipboard
pieces using a sponge dabber and then using your fingers add some blobs
of sand texture very unevenly and in a few random places on all the
chip boards except the title.<br />
<br />
Dry and then add any remaining
paints from the previous steps onto the cogs. Spray some water so the paint gets into the cracks and the crevices of the sand texture so that it gets highlighted.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>5. </b>Here is a close up of the layers behind the photograph.
Just cut some
pattern paper, distress with the edge of your scissors, layer behind the
photograph with a wire mesh tape. In between the layers, Ive glued
cardboard (instead of foam dots) so that I can tuck in some chipboard
pieces. Can you see the shiny paints<b>!</b><br />

Hi crafty pals,</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first share this month is a shabby chic layout featuring a photo of my little boy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I can still get away with using pink as he is a toddler :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This picture was taken in our backyard one spring day but I cant remember what he was pointing to. </div>

Time to add colour to the background.

Dry well. Then add <a data-mce-href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/tw-5214-coral-berry-mini-jar/" href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/tw-5214-coral-berry-mini-jar/">Coral Berry</a>, <a data-mce-href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/tw-203-apple-blossom-large-jar/" href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/tw-203-apple-blossom-large-jar/">Apple Blossom</a>, to finish splatter some <a data-mce-href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/tw-174-chiffon-pink-large-jar/" href="https://www.colourarte.com/product/tw-174-chiffon-pink-large-jar/">Chiffon Pink</a>.<br />

I've always loved butterflies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They remind me never to lose hope........ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that something very beautiful can emerge out of something that's falling apart. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: black;">So, how does one become a butterfly?</span></i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: black;">You must want to fly so much, that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"><i>Within you is the power to rise above any situation or struggle, and transform into the Brightest, Strongest version of you ever!</i></span> </div>

Have you played alongwith <a href="https://wordspaintery.blogspot.in/2017/02/february-2017.html" target="_blank">Words and Paintery Challenge</a> this month? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colour combination this month is my all time favourite - teal, pink and green </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and this inspiration quote</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">ART is a never ending dance of illusions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I just couldn't resist trying my hand at painting a unicorn. I think this would make a good wall art in a little girls room :) </div>

Its almost summer here, yet, I found it so easy and inspiring to scrap about Autumn which is one of my favourite times of the year. The beautiful colors of fall, cool weather, warm dinners..... Ill have to wait another 6 months to experience that again, so why not re-live it through a layout! This is also the time of year when in India we celebrate Dusshera - a time when we choose to change ourselves and strive to see (and choose) good over bad in every aspect of our life.<br />
<br />
Ive tried to bring this out by using a black background and a light filled photograph. The ombre leaves and colours being the journey of life through happy and difficult times and the gold to look for the bright moments in everyday through the journey of life. <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello peeps,</div>
<br />
Spring has definitely brought my creative mojo back atleast for now. I tried my hand at the Kraftit up Challenge this month with an over the top (from my standards) A4 scrapbook layout. One of those layouts that I just went with the flow.<br />
<br />
If you are new to mixed media scrapbooking, there are some very simple and basic techniques that you can pick up from my video.For close ups and a step by step of this layout head over to the <a href="http://www.colourarte.com/blog/2016/09/23/mixed-media-scrapbook-layout-using-vivid-ultra-metallics-kripa/" target="_blank">Colourarte blog.</a><br />

memories and letters for my kids. So, it was only apt to have something
about our everyday life. This is definitely one of the most satisfying and meaningful pieces of work I've done this month.</div>

I found a whole heap gratitude journalling prompts on Pinterest and chose one that worked for me. The left page has a shaker sleeve made with WRMK fuse tool attached on one side. Underneath it are the remaining two sentences : "I felt joyful when..." & "My favourite part was..." and a small note for my kids about finding delight in everyday moments like a morning cuddle, an unexpected
kiss or a quiet afternoon in the park.<br />

I chose the Art Recipe and have included a few diecuts, a flair and a good helping of beads in the shaker pocket.<br />
