Instagram post 2149779742843270404_710475319 I learned a lot — mostly about myself — this first week of @creativebug and @lindsayvictorialee #cbdailychallenge #conceptsketchbook ... mostly that when I take my time, I enjoy the process and the outcome more. I mean, duh, right? But I usually like to make work quickly. Going back to this spread, day after day, looking for ways to create more interest and contrast... I really enjoyed it. Maybe it’s the Fall, maybe it’s the class, or maybe it’s something else. But I’m really embracing this slower pace, with attention to detail. (Swipe to see my favorite bits!)
Instagram post 2146130102570744352_710475319 Is anyone else doing the @creativebug #cbdailypractice with @lindsayvictorialee this month?! I’m excited about this one!
Instagram post 2132142689750237161_710475319 I’m having fun with these color meditations with @lisasolomon & @creativebug for this month’s daily practice. I’m a bit behind, but you can see more in my stories today!
Instagram post 2130885508799136674_710475319 I thought I had everything I needed to get started with my new punch needle, but I didn’t have monk’s cloth and I couldn’t find any of my good hoops (that’s what happens when you “reorganize” and move all your arts and crafts “stuff” I guess?! 🤣) I’ve chosen my color palette, and now it’s (finally!) time to punch! 👊 I’m starting with embroidery thread because I don’t have yarn (I don’t know how to knit or crochet), but I decided if I love it like I think I will, I’ll buy some pretty yarns, too!
Instagram post 2128616371704167901_710475319 Thanks to @creativebug and @bookhou I’m about to try a new craft! Actually, I tried rug hooking years ago and quickly (and sadly) realized I’m allergic to wool. But luckily, thanks to @bookhou I found out you can also use embroidery thread (I have TONS) and/or cotton yarn (duh, I should have thought of that...but yayyy!!) So I’m excited to give this another try! I’m starting out small, with a coaster. Results coming soon!
Instagram post 2122160592537125873_710475319 I just love drawing flowers/flora! I hope you’re doing what YOU love this weekend! 💕✨🌺🌸🌿🍃
Instagram post 2121404389489995442_710475319 Hey friends! I’m still here, I promise! My business has been keeping me extra busy, but my love of art journaling will never end! 🥰😜 Hope you’re doing well, too!
Instagram post 2094590900599685022_710475319 Hi friends! I know I’ve been super MIA lately. We’ve had a lot going on the last several weeks (including losing my father in law to cancer very quickly 😔) and a social media break was what I needed. But I’m still here! Art journaling away. I hope to come back and post more regularly, as well as give *your* posts all the hearts and loves they deserve! 😘
Instagram post 2054976353228424375_710475319 Late night class and cutting/collaging!
