This time when I came back from CHA I made an effort to play at least half an hour in my studio in my artjournal with the new CHA stuff before tackling all the emails and other things that had to be taken care of.
2013 is a very exciting year for me and the adventure started on the day I did this journal page. I will fill you in later in a couple of months- LOL. The bright colors of this page are a good indicator how excited and full of hopes and happiness I am for things to come :)
I used Julie Fei Fan Balzer’s and Dina Wakley’s new stencils for Crafter’s Workshop – love! Also used Ranger Distress Inks, Liquitex Acrylic Paints, Liquitex Professional Spraypaints, Derwent Artbars and Posca Markers.
Are you going to spend some time in your studio today?
Have a wonderful day
Nat
P.S.
As you know the Creative JumpStart 2013 is over. Almost 6000 Subscribers – I am speechless…as I am wading through the comments -last time I checked it was over 500 on my final post…I got all teary eyed, in a good way ;) … thank you for all the sweet words about Creative JumpStart 2013- it means a lot to read all those wonderful comments!

Beautiful pages. I love the eye chart stencil. I can’t wait to get one to play with. I’m still working on all the creative jump starts. I need to get a few supplies before I can do some of them. Hopefully, I’ll be lucky enough to win some of them. I always like to finish each page–therefore, I’ve been searching for images as I finish each background to complement the techniques. I’ve had sooo much fun with this–and it will provide inspiration for months to come. Thanks to you and all the other artists for sharing your creativity and inspiration. Hugs.

I’m excited for you, whatever the news may be. I too miss CJS. What a gift that was. Thanks again. I am going to play in my art room while the super bowl is going on and all my guys here are watching it. I’ll just go in for the commercials. : )

That is so beautiful …I love the colours. not much colour in Canada this time of year which is why I love to browse in my LSS, Bizzy B …looking at all the luscious paper makes me feel like I am in a garden. I gessoed a couple of wee canvases last night and will play very soon!

As far as your new adventure…..hmmm…..my guess is youve been asked to join up with another major sponsor…..or a book/cd deal. However, baby is a really good guess… :)

Nat – Creative Jumpstart was a wonderful event. I’m going to try to incorporate all of the great ideas into my artwork. I already miss the morning video. You are such a generous soul – thank you. Your hard work, and, of course, the work of all the special artists and everyone who participated, is appreciated. Thank you, again – so much. And your beautiful, bright journal pages have sparked more inspiration. I’m so glad I found you.

If you’re a dork, I must be dead. Hmm. Since I am not dead or a dork, you must not be either. Wonderful pages. Those neon colors just do me crazy! The second one teaches us all a very important lesson… PATIENCE and PERSEVERANCE.

Love the page. You must be pretty excited to make such a colorfull page! Oh yes, today is studio time. Hubby is still sleeping, later he will be either making a bike tour or dive into his office. The only thing I have to do today is pack my baggie for a business trip to Hamburg, all the time left over is for me to create (So I’d better get my behind away from the computer!)
Have a great sunday! – Irma
