I’m playing catch-up with the Scrappy8Challenge on Instagram. Only one prompt a month, and I still managed to fall behind! 😂 For March, the prompt was “Collaged Animal.”

So I’m sharing one of my all-time favorite photos of my pup, Chanel. That bashful look gets me every time! She’s an absolute sweetheart, and her resilience is truly inspiring. Despite losing her sight at 3 years old, she wakes up every morning with boundless joy and still plays fetch! She’s got a lot of determination and a great attitude💖

This was created in my 4.5×5″ handmade watercolor journal, using watercolor paints and pens. I added a felt heart and a sprinkle of rhinestone hearts, along with the collaged image of my little girl.

Hope Chanel’s story brings a smile to your face today. Wishing you a fantastic day ahead!

I really enjoy creating with these playful scribbles. With Easter Sunday tomorrow, I couldn’t resist making a few bunny tiles. Since I like working in 3’s these are my designs. I added splashes of watercolor paint to the scribbles and a little glitter to the tails for extra sparkle.

I’m going to add these to my stash for future use in my journaling. Hope this inspires you in some way today, thanks for stopping by!!

Excited to share my latest creation with you. This is a new organic abstract using watercolors and Saran Wrap. The colors were a little too soft for me, so I added more of the same watercolor to each individual shape.

Creating these organic abstracts in my Strathmore 8×5.5″ Watercolor Journal has been an absolute blast! I really love the vibrant rainbow of colors and intricate design on this one! What are your thoughts?

Wishing this brings a little inspiration your way today. Thanks for dropping by!

I thought of a fun idea while on my morning walk for creating a new type of design with these scribbles and had to give it a whirl. I made the 3 tiles above with circular scribbles and a splash of watercolor for more interest. The scribbles are random and chaotic but I have to say creating these tiles was an absolute blast!

I’m adding them to my stash to use in my journal later. Hope this brings a little inspiration your way today. Thanks for stopping by!!

I’ve been working on my Etsy Shop so to keep my creativity flowing I work in my journals. These were two pages I made from tiles I created previously and had in my stash. Scribbles bring me joy. They’re chaotic yet simple. The gold accents add visual interest to the overall design.

Hope this inspires you in some way today, thanks for stopping by!!

Abstract Art Journaling

As many of you know, I’ve been playing with Saran Wrap and watercolor paints creating some really cool organic abstract designs. Last Sunday, I spent a good part of my day working on this abstract in my Strathmore 8×5.5″ Watercolor Journal.

I love bright colors but the paints dried light so I used colored pencils that matched the paint underneath to make it pop. I also used a burnisher which softens your pencil lines and gives them a more fluid look. I found the burnisher also works on watercolor paints but the end result isn’t as bright. Overall I thought it turned out pretty cool 😎 What do you think?

Hope this inspires you, thanks for stopping by!!

Deer Abstract Art Journaling

I created a new abstract in my Strathmore 8.5 x 5.5″ watercolor art journal. I used yellow and magenta watercolor paints along with a small piece of Saran Wrap to create this design. The fun part of this technique is you’re never sure what will appear and in this one I found a beautiful deer.

Deers are said to symbolize gentleness, grace, freedom and strength. So I added a few words to the design: kindness, gentleness, open your 💖 Although, I’m not sure why this deer appeared in my art, I was very happy it did!

Hope this inspires you in some way today. Thanks for stopping by!!
