More Than Words - "Playlist" and Ephemera

 Good Morning all and Happy September!  

Today at  More Than Words, we have a brand new challenge up for the month of September

You are to use the word "Playlist" on your project and use ephemera as well!

I had fun with this art journal spread! I used some tissue paper for the background, added some white gesso wash over this. I used a new stencil and turquoise acrylic paint to add some colour. I added some ephemera I have had in my stash for forever, my little singing girl, and my sentiment... which describes my current playlist! LOL!. 

I do hope you check out what my teammates have done and share your projects with us on our blog, FB page or Instagram!

Have fun creating your playlist this month!

More Than Words - Mini challenge - Journey

 Hi everyone! Today at More Than Words, 

our Mini challenge is ready for you to make a card, tag, or ATC!

I made a postcard, 4" x 6" for my son who is moving out this month and starting a new journey of his own! I used a map for the background, did some heat embossing with copper embossing powder and a chicken wire stamp. I then layered some papers together, added my man sitting on different destinations. I finished off by adding a couple rub-ons here and there. 

Whatever you do, I do hope you enjoy your journey, and share with us as well!

More Than Words challenge blog- Adventure & Maps

 Good Morning all and Happy August 1st! This month's challenge at

 More Than Words is all about Adventures and Maps!

We are to use the word "Adventure" on our art journal page, as well as maps somehow!

I used some maps of different places in Egypt that I use to take the boys on adventures when they were younger! They groaned every time I said it was "Time for an Adventure", but now they realize it wasn't too bad! I added some stencil work over the maps, a little girl ready for an adventure splatters, and some washi tape!

I do hope you will join us at More Than Words, and share your adventures with us!

Happy Creating!

More Than Words Challenge - "Wonderful & Water Colours"

 Good Morning everyone!

 I am thrilled to share my first design team project with you all at

 More Than Words challenge

We are to add the word "Wonderful" and use 

Water Colours for our art journal pages this month!

Here's mine...

I have to say, I have a love/hate relationship with water colours, but I gave it a go...

I added yellow, pinkish red, and orange to my water colour paper and smooched it around. 

I then added some squares of Light and Fluffy modeling paste through a stencil. Once this dried, I added some teal coloured water colour onto top of the modeling paste squares. 

To finish this off, I added some teal splatters, my little guy, a computer generated sentiment and doodled lines around the outside! Easy Peasy!

I do hope you will check out what my amazing team mates have done for this challenge! 

And do join us!!
