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!!

In the meantime, I thought I’d give you a couple of sneak peeks of these textured paintings I created with vibrant, happy colors!

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!!

Thoughtful Thursday Gratitude Words of Wisdom

I am passionate about self improvement and feel there is always room to grow. This is a heartfelt quote I wrote which resonates deeply with me and is displayed on my art journaling page:

“Life is precious and if you’re not careful will pass you by if you don’t stop to smell the roses.”

These words serve as a gentle reminder to slow down and appreciate the beauty of life. Even though there may be days filled with chaos, it’s important to remember special moments, no matter how small and reflect upon them with gratitude.

As we journey through life, let’s cherish each moment and embrace the beauty that surrounds us. May we find solace and inspiration in the simple joys of everyday life.

Hope this inspires you in some 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!!

For the first time I joined the Scrappy8Challenge on Instagram. You’re given a month to create the art you want to submit for the challenge. This is ideal for me at the moment because it’s not overwhelming with everything else I have going on.

My sister gifted me this beautiful handmade 4.5×5″ watercolor journal that I thought would be perfect for this challenge. The February prompt was “Inspired by Art” and this was my creation.

There are so many wonderful artists who inspire me but the inspiration for this watercolor painting is the ever talented Joanne Sharpe. She has such a wonderful whimsical style and I love her use of bright, fun colors which makes her art scream Happiness!!

Hope this inspires you in some way today. Have a fantastic weekend!!
