Good morning!
My Weekly Art Journal #10 is now up on YouTube!! 🙂
The supplies I used today:
- 4 different wash tapes of different sizes, 2 were Scotch brand, but I don’t know the other two
- Dylusion Spray Ink: Squeezed Orange, Lemon Zest
- Acrylic Paints: Folk Art Medium Yellow (455), Ceramcoat Pop Pink (02646), DecoArt Tropical Blue (DCA102)
- 2 Studio G Stamps: I am unsure of what their names are, but they were both 2010 stamps. One is dots, and the other is 2 different sized circles
- An XOXOXO Stamp from Delafield Stamp Company
- Black Pilot Marksall Pen
- White Sharpie Water Based Poster Paint Pen
- Uhu Glue Stick
- Sentiment printed on regular printer paper using my computer
- Scissors
As usual, I went into this spread with no real plan whatsoever, except that I knew I wanted to keep some white space on my layout! I have been noticing that I have been covering almost every square inch of my pages leaving very little white space, and this week I wanted to see what white space would feel like if it was done on purpose!
Oh, and did you notice??? I actually speak??? I thought since this video was so short, this week, that would be the perfect, and unscary way to dive in and give my new microphone a go! I was pretty happy with that!! Let me know if you like these videos with speaking or without! 🙂
I found a bunch of wash tapes on sale at my local Staples so, with the encouragement of my sweetie, I ended up buying at least one of every pattern!! YEAH!!!  Is there a simpler way to add color to a layout???? I LOVE THAT!!! 😉
Of course I am still on my Dylusions Spray Ink OBSESSION, and could NOT imagine not using some on this layout!!! 😉
Plus add oodles and oodles of texture stamps and doodles!! I LOVE THIS!!! 😉
I didn’t even mind the occasional wrinkle, fold, or tear that the washi tape might have ended up!! I am really learning to not only embrace the messy, but I am really LOVING the no pressure-ness of it!!! 😉
Overall, I am ABSOLUTELY in LOVE with this week’s spread! It is so bright, and happy, and it was so quick and simple to do!! What could be better???
Also, I wanted to make sure that I share that this week’s spread sentiment was totally inspired by a video that I had stumbled on that morning, by Melody Ross from Brave Girls Club:

This was a message that I really, REALLY needed to hear this week! 🙂
What do you think?
If you have any ideas, or techniques that you might like to see me try in one of my future layouts, please let me know in the comment section and I will see what I can do to be accommodating! Also, I really do LOVE answering any questions you may have about art journaling, mixed-media, or anything you might have seen me do here! Please feel free to ask questions in the comments, and I will try and get back to you in a timely manner!!
Until next time!
Here is to a BEAUTIFULLY CREATIVE week! 😉
