Hi everyone, To make this month's paper clip, I pulled out a few items from my stash along with my pile of paper scraps. Along with this month's chosen Gorjuss Mini Stamp No.10- Purrfect Love , I chose: - Sizzix Thinlet - House die - Poppy Stamps - Country Fence - Poppy Stamps - Strolling Kitties I also pulled out my box of buttons and charms as finishing touches. My canvas is a piece of Kraft card stock that measures 3.5" x 8", scored and folded in half. I find papers in my scrap bucket and start assembling my mini Gorjuss paper clip art. The 'making it happen' element is a sticker from the I am by Simple Stories sticker pack and I top pff the paper clip with a Home Sweet Home ribbon by Americal Crafts and thread a 'bunch of keys' charm through the paper clip.

Hi everyone, The theme this month for my 12 Mini Gorjuss Girls of 2018 is houses/ homes. I have this 'Build a country scene' stamp set that I have never touched in my collection so I thought it would be a good challenge to pull it out  and create a scene and incorporate it with this month's mini Gorjuss stamp - No.10- Purrfect Love. As always, I will be working in my DIY watercolor art journal. I have a tutorial for you if you want to make one yourself. Check it out  HERE   Check out my process video to see how I created this month's art journal layout. I used my Prima Watercolor pans to add color in this spread. And I added some extra details with my Nuvo crystal drops. I found this perfect sentiment (from Tim Holtz sticker clippings) which is the title for this layout. Here is my finished art page.

Hi everyone, So happy to be bringing you the first layout in my new collaboration with my fellow design team member Suzanne Johnston . Suzanne and I are doing a collaboration this year where we are working in an art journal for as long as it takes to fill it and then sending each other the finished journal at the end. We are sending each other an envelope full of die-cuts and inspirational items as prompts for layouts. The art journal that I am working in is one I made myself and if you are interesting in making one, please check out my DIY tutorial HERE . From the prompts, I selected the clippings of musical paper which I reconfigured as houses. From there, I went onto Design Seeds and picked out this color palette. I then gathered all my acrylic paints and supplies ... and started mixing. I think I got pretty close to the correct colors :) Next it was time to decide on the colors for the background and this is what I w...
