Aren’t we all juggling a lot and try to not drop the balls? This is what my art journal spread is about.
I used my new Broadway Positive and Negative ArtFoamies with this one and I so so love the pattern.
I had also fun playing with orange, pink, blue and purple – a combination that just made me happy :)
Here are the supplies I used:
Wishing you a wonderful day!
Loved playing with my new Midtown ArtFoamies Set. Using both sides – the solid and the pattern side – and different acrylic paint colors I layered up a city scape.
I painted the lady first with acrylic paint and then went over with oil pastels- I just love the look of those two paint mediums together.
I love this set so much – I cannot stop using it -LOL- someone stop me ;)
Here are the supplies I used for this spread:
“Maybe it won’t work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.”
Love this – I think that sums up a lot of things that I have done in my life so far …love my artful adventures and believe me…many didn’t quite work out- LOL
I am totally in pattern heaven using my brand new Downtown Positive and Negative Foam Stamp Set. I love how the two stamps stamped on top of each other in copper and teal make up for such a beautiful intricate pattern.
I added some yellow ink here and there after the stamped areas dired and I love how it added another color and interest.
Stamping it a bit offset and given the fact that a foam stamp reveals texture I love how the effect is so dimensional and looks almost as if the image is raised and jumps off the page. One happy Nat on this one.
Here are some of the supplies I used for this spread:
Have an adventurous day!
Thank you so much Stephanie!
Love the words and the color mix!!!
That color mix totally got me- LOL- cannot stop using it :) Thanks Sue!
Great page for the sentiment, colors and patterns!
Thank you so much Nancy!
“She remembered who she was and the game changed”
This pages started out from a demo page showing my Versailles Stamp Set and when I got I further painted on the spread.
I panted with acrylic paint but also used my new Caran D’Ache Watercolor Pencils to color in some between some of the stamped areas.
I painted the girl using acrylic paint and some oil pastels- I think I refound my love for them :)

Wishing you a fantastic day!!!
Last weekend I taught three mixed media classes at Scrapbooking Forever in Westvillage, California.
It was a wonderful time there with the students- I taught my Artvergnugen, as well as my Master Art Express and my Walk With Me Class.
Here are some wonderful patterned pages from the Artvergnugen Class.
It truly was a lot of Artvergnugen :)
I also taught my Master Art Express Art Journaling class which is taking Art Journaling a bit further and takes inspiration from different Artists imaginary traveling through Europe.
I loved all the different ideas and approaches the students tried out!
My altered book class Walk With Me was super fun as well and the ink drawings some of my students added to their books.
I did not take many photos as some of my students wanted to remain private – a request I happily follow- but here is one of Winkie and me. If you ever happen to be in a class room with Winkie prepare yourself for a life story ride that blows your mind. My favorite thing about teaching is, that besides that it makes me happy to see people being creative, what wonderful and interesting people I meet along my way. Everyone’s story is worth telling and I am truly grateful that I am meeting so many amazing people.
Hope to see you in one of my classes in the future. Check out my in-person-class schedule. I will be in Florida next weekend at Everything Scrapbook and Stamps and then fly in October to the U.K. to teach at a retreat with my friend Birgit Koopsen in Coventry – there are still a couple spots left.
Looks like a lot of fun! Love all the colors & textures!
Love all the colors on that art and taking a class with you is on my Bucket List Nat.
Enjoy your weekend.
I just want to drink coffee, create stuff and sleep – oh yes ;) I loved creating this spread.
I started off with a simple blue background painted with acrylic paint and then added some orange and stamped and stenciled with my Chicago Foam Stamps and Stencil. Then I painted the girl (yes stop your horses, I painted a face- LOL) …and added some of my brand new Caran D’Ache NeoPastel Oil Pastels- OMG – I am in love – the colors are so amazing and they are like buttttahhh!
I seriously had to tell myself to stop adding more and more. I added some marks and scribbles with a white China Marker – I love that General China Markers are made right here in Jersey City.
Here are some of the supplies I used:
The colors are really interesting and vibrant. Great job on the face and love the quote cause me too!
Thank you so much Karen! Right? Who doesn’t want to drink coffee, sleep and create all day ;)
Love the face and the colors you used!
Thank you so much Sue! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
“the world is filled with nice people, if you can’t find one be one!”
Played with paint and my palette knife- sometimes the most fulfilling way to create texture and lay down color. I love those colors together.
I stamped a border with my Blocks Cling Rubber stamp.
Here are the supplies I used:
She remembered who she was and the game changed.
I spray painted the background in red, then spray painted orange on top and while the orange was still wet I laid down my Beacon Stencil and then lifted it right up. Love the texture and bright color.
I cut out some painted deli paper and made some marks and circles in blue and green colors and then added the journaling.
It was a quick and easy page to make but I do love the outcome a lot.
Here are some of the supplies I used:
“We must bring our own light to the darkness!” I love this – I forgot where I heard or saw it but it resonated with me.
I was playing with some new acrylic paints and added some marks by scratching into the wet paint and stamping with rubber stamps as well as found items on my studio desk.
I like the unbleached titanium white peaking through the blue and white a lot – I need to revisit :)
Here are the supplies I used to create this art journal page:
Love how you have those pops of color looks so strategic!
Thank you so much Karen!
LOVE the hand written words.
