Growth Art Journal

I love to create in my journal in between studio projects, it’s a creative sanctuary for me. I found this image of flowers in an old Romantic Homes magazine and couldn’t resist creating a journal spread around it. I fell in love with the vibrant springtime vibe it had.

Beginning with the blank canvas in one of my favorite Strathmore watercolor journals (7.75×9.75″), I let my thoughts flow onto the page. Layer by layer, I added pieces of decoupaged tissue papers and snippets from old books, creating an interesting textured background. I used everything in my studio from watercolors to acrylic paints, pens, colored pencils, and even a sprinkle of glitter, to add depth and dimension to the design.

I finished it off with a quote by Steven McCanie:

“The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.”

May this glimpse into my creative journey inspire you today. Thanks for stopping by!!

Puppy Art Journaling

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!

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to overlook the importance of staying hydrated. Yet, proper hydration is essential for maintaining optimal health and well-being. With last summer being a bit of a scorcher, it becomes even more crucial to prioritize hydration. Here’s why staying hydrated is so important and some tips to help you do so effectively:

Why it Matters:

  1. Vital Bodily Functions: Water regulates temperature, aids digestion, and boosts nutrient absorption, keeping your body running smoothly.
  2. Glowing Skin: Hydration plumps skin cells, flushes out toxins, and prevents dryness and premature aging for a radiant complexion.
  3. Energy Boost: Drinking water maintains alertness, fights fatigue, and keeps you focused throughout the day.
  4. Weight Management: Hydration helps control appetite, supports metabolism, and aids calorie burning.

Tips for Staying Hydration:

  • Carry a reusable bottle everywhere you go for easy access (make sure it’s BPA Free)
  • Set reminders to drink regularly, especially during busy times.
  • Infuse water with fruit, herbs or cucumber for a flavorful twist!
  • Eat water-rich foods like fruits and veggies to boost hydration.

Prioritize hydration to support your health, energy, and overall well-being. Stay refreshed and enjoy the benefits of a hydrated lifestyle!

Watercolor Abstract

As artists, we all encounter moments when inspiration seems elusive. When I hit a creative roadblock, I often turn to nature for inspiration. However, recently I stumbled upon a book by Kate Rebecca Leach, titled “Creative Abstract Watercolor,” which gave me a refreshing approach to abstract art.

Leach’s unique style, characterized by playful geometric shapes, has sparked my imagination. Her book serves as a source of inspiration, leading me through the process of creating abstracts in a fresh new way. I’m experimenting with using the designs from my smaller tiles that I’ve been creating and seamlessly blending them together to form a larger cohesive piece.

My latest creation is this 9×12 inch watercolor abstract, painted in varying shades of pinks and purples. Each section of the piece has its own distinct flair, resulting in an engaging and intriguing piece of art.

I hope sharing my journey inspires you today. Thanks for stopping by!

Fun with Inchies

I’ve been enjoying exploring some new ideas and creating these 3×3 inch mini works of art also known as inchies. Each design uses the same color palette and features simple yet interesting artwork. These designs, or variations of them, will be incorporated into a larger piece I’m working on, so stay tuned for that.

Once my larger piece is done, I’ll add these inchies to my stash to use in my art journal at a later date. But the process of creating these mini works of art is simply calming and so fulfilling. They’re a joy to make! What do you do to create moments of joy in your day?

Hope this sparks your creativity for a weekend art project! Thanks for stopping by!!
