Though I'd pop in to let people who might stumble onto this blog know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I'm still very much alive and well. I've been devoting all my creative time to painting and customizing Blythe dolls (carving them, repainting, etc.). You can come find me all over social media and I'm always happy to catch up with people and chat. By the way, Morgan is now 14 and Dexter is about to turn 10. I can't believe I started scrapbooking almost 15 years ago. I still make simple cards for birthdays. And use my scrapooking supplies for my new endeavors.<br />

I have a lot of scrapbook layouts and cards to post, so I'll try to get to them in the near future. In the meantime, I wanted to share that I have been doing a lot of painting and I have an <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LavishStudio" target="_blank">Etsy store</a> (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LavishStudio" target="_blank">HERE</a>). I also finally added 5x7 prints of my paintings, so to celebrate, I'm having a 20% off sale this week. Just use coupon code <span style="background-color: yellow;">20OFFLAVISHSTUDIO</span> at checkout, it's good toward anything in the store. Here are some recent paintings from January and February so far:</span><br />

I've been missing using all my adorable girl stamps, so I decided I would do a whole journal of stamped girls, paired with quotes, against water colored backgrounds, and using watercolors to color the stamped images as well. The stamp is by Gorjuss and the branch is <a href="https://creativeembellishments.com/" target="_blank">Creative Embellishments</a> chipboard, and I drew "bark" on it with marker. I am using Holbein watercolors.<br />

All of the Creative Embellishments I used can be purchased through their website <a href="https://creativeembellishments.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I used the roller coaster, which I cut in half and colored with BoBunny Pearlescents. Also the wood stars, and the "together" border title.Ilenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01374500435990418041noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625554460485017178.post-6063557267195097762016-07-08T08:46:00.001-04:002016-07-08T08:58:20.386-04:00DIY watercolor palette for the MidoriI bought a Midori! We have a trip coming up next month and I wanted to bring a journal with me, so after much thorough research (as in, watching tons of YouTube videos :) I went for the Midori - it just seemed aesthetically beautiful, and so useful to fit in everything you might need. Then I ran into the issue of wanting to have my watercolors with me. One option was to make a little tin to hold them, but that meant I would always have to bring it, and that wasn't good enough - I wanted something that came with the Midori automatically, without having to pack it. The next option was to purchase the Peerless watercolors - they come in paper swatches that you can make your own little booklet out of, and insert into the notebook. I searched for a good deal, but didn't manage to find one. Also, I felt like I would be spending a lot on them, and might have second thoughts about using "too much" or "wasting".<br />
<br />
So that brought me to thinking I needed to come up with my own idea... and that's when I realized I could use flat discarded packaging and the Tim Holtz gears packaging was perfect. You use the inner insert that holds the gears in place - it is virtually flat, but has just enough depth that it can hold a Lot of watercolor. The circles are large enough that I ended up pouring a lot of paint in them, so it should last a while. Best thing is it's totally refillable. I have the 18-pack of Holbein professional watercolors, and I picked my favorite 12. So I have professional-grade watercolors that will permanently come with my notebook. I insert it into one half of the Midori kraft folder.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I used a piece of watercolor paper for the cover and did swatches of the paint on it. I then did an inner insert of plastic to protect the pain, and when I open it, it lies flat and that side becomes the side I mix the paint on. I used my old 7Gypsies gaffer tape to hold it all together - it's very strong, has a nice texture since it's made of cloth, and is very pretty. All I need is my water brush (I love those!) and I'm ready to paint on the go, any time, anywhere. And rather than spending money, I'm making good use of what I already have in the house!<br />
<br />
If anyone wants an actual video tutorial, let me know, and I will make on for my YouTube channel, and take you though the process of cutting the materials, properly filling the "wells", etc.<br />

They have the most adorable chipboard and wood veneer embellishments, and also rubber stamps and stencils. There's a new challenge on the first of every month, and of course a prize to go along with it. Check out the July 1 challenge <a href="https://creativeembellishments.com/blog/?p=9497" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Here's my LO to go with it (my first LO in 6 months!). I used lots of wonderful CE goodies - the constellations "Out of this World" stencil, wood veneer stars, chipboard cherries, bird, and of course, the gorgeous stars chipboard frame. The paper is BoBunny :)<div>

One of them, I printed twice by accident, and ended up scrapping... twice... without even realizing it. I used BoBunny "Calendar Girl" collection for both layouts, plus extras like BoBunny foil rub ons, double dot cardstock, embellishments, etc.<br />
<br />
I guess when you really like a picture, scrapping it twice isn't the worst thing that could happen :)<br />

The paper is already glittered, so it makes holiday cards really quick and easy to do. First, my daughter had a birthday party to go to, and the party was at a skating rink. This paper had the perfect images to make a cute giftbag and card set:<div>

This collection also came in handy when I had to make 10 holiday cards (8 for my daughter's teachers, and two for each other kids' bus drivers). Because the paper was already glittered and pretty enough to use as is, it really didn't take long. I simply made up the cards and then added jewels in the middle of the snowflakes for a little extra embellishment.</div>

Today I'm sharing three new cards I made using the "You're Invited" collection from BoBunny. This collection is party and birthday themed, so making some birthday cards was a snap. I also used some Bobunny flowers, jewels, and and from the collection stickers, chipboard). I love how everything coordinates so well. And as always, I added pretty paper inside the cards to finish them off. Just make sure you use a muted, lighter pattern so your message is easy to read.<br />

It is absolutely gorgeous with rich, warm colors, and... butterflies! Yes, autumn butterflies, and some fairies. How awesome is that. I wanted to make a few cards with it, so here they are:<br />

And I was really on a roll with this collection, so I made two more cards - these ones are super simple. I just cut the postcard images from one of the sheets of paper and added the birthday sentiment. My daughter went to a birthday party on Thursday and has another one she's going to today, so these are already gone :)<br />

The paper is really nice and perfect for all sorts of media. Here's the first page completed... a welcome to the journal page :)<br />

<br />
I have a little journal I've been carrying around, but I've been using it as a sketchbook more than anything. I recently made a quick sketch (took a little over 20 minutes) and recorded the process. I sped it up 4 times, so now it's a 5 minute video. Take a look:<br />

Here is the completed sketch (I messed with it a couple more minutes):<br />

I can't believe I made 16 layouts in one month. Toward the end, I got motivated to finish it so I could move on to my new art journal that has really nice paper that can withstand various paints and mediums (unlike the paper in this one). It was a great starting place, and a really great way to use up some of my stash, so overall it was a really positive, fun experiment.<br />
<br />
As I mentioned yesterday, for the last two spreads, I used Graphic 45 papers. This one with with "Halloween in Wonderland". I painted the pages black, and then used a Crafter's Workshop Harlequin stencil and sprayed it with white Dylusions spray. I then dabbed acrylic color on top to have it match the paper better and give it more dimension.<br />

And here is my very last layout. The quote reflects the sentiment that ending this journal is just the beginning. I really love how this last page came out - I love the (G45) poppy flowers, the spooky tree (Crafter's Workshop stencil), the night sky, and the beautiful stars. To create the stars, I used a Prima stencil with crackle paste.<br />

Thanks for joining me and taking a peek inside my art journal.

Almost done! This first layout I'm sharing was created with the help of a really fun tutorial by <a href="http://angelaandersonart.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Angela Anderson</a>. She teaches art classes for kids and adults, so I thought this would be a fun one to try with my daughter. We bought some sea sponges and dove right in. The end result reminded me of a poem I really like, so I added it in.<div>

This next layout came together when I dug out my stash of Graphic 45 paper. In fact, once I dug it out, I couldn't stop and all the rest of the journal was made using various collection from G45. What can I say, they have fun paper :)</div>

I used BoBunny glitter paste to create the yellow (golden?) brick road, and the stars, and a BoBunny stamp for Glinda's magic "bubble". It's a messy bubble but that's what she gets for being in an art journal.</div>

Be sure to scroll down for all the previous posts to see more. This first two-page spread was created using BoBunny's "Rose Cafe" collection and BoBunny washi tapes. I also used the music note stamp by BoBunny (it was part of a stamp set that came with an older Autumn collection they had).<div>

I really love the effect you get by starting with a background of torn up papers and washi tapes. Most of it gets covered over, but there and there it still peeks through in interesting ways:</div>

This next spread is created with the "Penny Emporium" collection by BoBunny. I again started with some torn papers, and lots of images cut out from the papers and from the Noteworthy pack. The tightrope was created with Pearlescents to give it more dimension, and the sparkly circles with BoBunny glitter paste and stencil. The black dots are a BoBunny stamp. This one is called "The Balancing Act":</div>

The quote is, "Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds." I really liked the quote, and I think the resulting layout is self-explanatory. I again created a base under-layer of torn papers and washi tape, and then went over it with paints, stamps, gelatos, and stencils. The girl is painted with acrylics. I stamped the clock on tissue paper before adding it, since I had a suspicion I would mess it all up if I tried stamping on the layout. It never comes out perfect that way.<br />

This next layout was about trying a fun technique - do some cool praying and have it be the hair. I love the idea in theory, but it didn't work so well in this journal. The pages of the journal were pretty thin, so I had to cover them with gesso first. The spray mists did not adhere well to gesso, creating a mess of an effect. Oh well... my next art journal has nice, proper paper :) I painted the face with acrylics and added a little pit of gelatos and stars using a stencil.<br />

The fish and the sentiment are from the "Boardwalk" collection by BoBunny.<br />
<br />
The main idea behind this page was wanting to do something bright and fun and work with the gelatos some more to create a colorful background. To give it more of a distressed, uneven look, I applied the gesso with a scraper to give it some grooves and bumps. You can really see that in the finished page.<br />

For this next layout, I wanted to try a vertical orientation, and I used a technique I found on Dina Wakely's art journaling book, where you create the background and then paint over it, leaving only circles unpainted to peek through. While at it, I also decided to try cutting out a magazine image and using it, and found this pretty ballerina. I painted over her skirt with acrylics to make it purple. I also used stamps, patterned papers, tissue paper, and the awesome stars Prima stencil with molding paste.<br />

Today I'm sharing the next two spreads in my art journal. The first one is based on the children's book "My Many Colored Days" by Dr. Seuss. It start with "Some days are yellow, some are blue. on different days, I'm different too. you'd be surprised how many ways I change on different colored days" (by the way... I remember the whole thing by heart, at this point LOL). I just love that book for kids - it goes through all the different feelings and normalizes them, and also has the most gorgeous illustrations.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used BoBunny "Genevieve" collection, and BoBunny stamps and stencils. If you want a step-by-step guide on how to create this, you can check out <a href="http://bobunny.blogspot.com/2015/08/art-journaling-with-genevieve.html" target="_blank">This Post</a> on the BoBunny blog.</div>

This next spread is a little darker. I created the background by using s scraper to add black and white paint. I then added Prima silver crackle paste over a stencil, and painted the girl. The dots on her body were made using a Tim Holtz stencil and the black paint drips were made using a Crafter's Wrokshop stencil. At the end, I added some background print using a stamp.</div>

Yesterday I shared the cover of my August 2015 art journal, and today I will share the first two spreads in it.<br />
<br />
The first two pages were made using gelatos, paint, a Prima stencil, and molding paste. The stamps are by Stampotique and I stamped them on tissue paper with Staz On ink, cut them out, and added them to the pages. I also used stamps for the lettering and crackle effect, Tim Holtz tissue paper, and Pitt Big Brush markers to add some coloring and details. The white marker I used to write with is by Sharpie.<br />

The second spread above has the lyrics to "The Logical Song" by Roger Hodgson of Supertramp (you can listen to it <a href="https://youtu.be/OQfjIw3mivc" target="_blank">HERE</a>). I used BoBunny paper on both sides to represent the two parts of the song - the "Enchanted Garden" collection on the first page and the "Pop Quiz" collection on the second page. I used Crafter's Workshop stencils for the trees, large numbers on the 2nd page, and the black dots. I tore up papers and pasted them on, and then added gelatos on top for color.<br />
<br />
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the first to pages.

Day 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi guys, this coming week, I'll be sharing my August 2015 art journal. I completed all the layouts this month, so the title for the journal was a no-brainer :) There are 14 two-page spreads in the journal, so I will post 2 a day. So I hope you stop by this week to check out the inside of the album!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used an old "Storybook" by Fancy Pants. I tore out a few pages and glued some together so it wouldn't get too bulky since the spine was designed for something small and flat.</div>

To create the cover, I dug up some old Thickers that had fallen off the sheets and were waiting to be trashed, and tore off the sticky backs (since they had gotten dusty and dirty). I glued the thickers down with gel medium and then gave the whole cover a couple coats of gesso. I then prayed it with BoBunny gold and bronze mists and a couple other colors, and then went over it with metallic gelatos.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To make the title stand out, I painted the word "August" and the date "2015" with gesso again, and then painted over that with gold paint. I also added an old Maya Road chipboard word "imagination" and painted that with some gelatos just on top, so it would stand out a little bit from the rest of the cover (but not as much as the main title).</div>
