Scrapbook Expo

Mom and I went to a scrapbook expo in February.  It was fun... we did some make and takes:

And I got Lots of goodies:

I used those flour sack towels for screen printing  (Which I posted about a few days ago!).  I have already used my envelope templates too - I made some cool envelops from some of my paper stash.  The military/patriotic stuff was mostly for work (especially the Air Force stuff because I am Army!!), but I also thought it would be good to have patriotic (red, white and blue) stuff for Memorial Day and 4th of July. I am not a scrapbook person but I always find something cool for my art adventures at scrapbook sales.  What is the coolest thing that you have found at a scrapbook expo?

Documented Life Week 27

Today I wanted to show you my Week 27 WIP for Documented Life Project!  Here is the weekly page:

And the challenge for this week was to add a puzzle to your page...

That is a "hard" puzzle...and I am good at them and I think it is actually quite hard.  I think the page looks unfinished so I will probably add more to it after my trip.

April Right Brain Planner Pages

Just wanted to share a few of my recently created pages from my Right Brain Planner annual planner kit.  First, the April section page:

And then a few pages:

I have not done very much art journaling due to the all the homework - for instance I worked on these two pages over the course of a week or so.  Anyways, I really like how they turned out.  Not having as much time to create makes me appreciate it more!  Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.
