Mixed Media Journal Page 2-19-13 Needs And Wants

So here's a page I did last night....   Of course this was after working on my financial budget...

The circles were left blank for me to fill in over time things that I Need... verses Want..  I have a feeling the wants are going to need more circles LOL....

So put this into Dyan Reaveley's Dylusions Creative Journal

This page was actually one of those back pages in your book when you are working on other pages and you take the stencil and then press it into another page - so the black squares was left over from another page...  this was created with Crafter's Workshop 12x12 Cubist which I bought from Overstock.

I then used my Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Crayon Set that I got from Jerry's Artarama

I used Fast Orange, Lime Green, Lilac and Mauve

You just color the crayon just like when you were little - then take a brush with water I used my Aquashbrush which I bought from Donna Downey's store.

That just smooths out the Crayon and it looks great.

I then took out my favorite tool...  The empty Toilet Paper Roll - and used black acrylic paint - and stamped circles all over it.

I also used the rest of my Bazzil Just the Edge 12" Cardstock Strips Perfectly Pleated Dictionary. 

I then used the Crayon's again and the Aquabrush and colored that in as well...

I then also took out my circle templates on the ends where I used Modeling Paste to make some texture

I then pulled out my pan pastels (thank you Donna Downey) and inspiration wednesday.... opening up my eyes.

I then pulled out my Faber Castell Gelatos to fill in The other circles.

Pulled out my markers and wrote Needs & Wants.

Gave it a Spectrafix Spray to seal it...

And it's done.

I hope you enjoy it...

Please comment and share...

Thanks

Mixed media Journal Page - Flower Fun

So I had so much fun doing this page....  I had actually done something with paint dripping on these 2 pages - but didn't like the way it came out... So Gesso to the rescue....

See below for the progress and supply list.

See above the gesso process when I started it.

Below is when it was done and I started adding texture and supplies.

Above - I add Bazzill Basics Just the Edge 12" Cardstock Strips Perfectly Pleated Dictionary - this was something I had in my Stash for years....  Finally opened them up - I cut them in half only used 2 of them - but I love the texture it added.

I also grabbed a bunch of Close to my heart Stamp pads that I have had for years and just never opened.... I opened them and just stamped the entire pad onto the page in all different colors.  

I then took my favorite free tool... my empty toilet paper roll and pressed it into purple paint and stamped it all over the page...

I then drew petals around a few of them to make them flowers.

I started coloring the circles in with different acrylic paint colors

Used a thin paint brush and drew stems.

I then pulled out my pan pastels.

LOVE THESE....

I filled in the blank space between the flowers

Used Green

Purple and Green

I loved the light parts of the pan pastels - on it - but I also added down water down acrylic paints in parts of it.

I then outlined everything with a black market to have things stand out.

And added some red alphabet rub ons.

Below is the final outcome... 

I hope you enjoy this art journaling pages....

Please feel free to comment.

Scrapbooking Pages Disney Vacation

Disney Vacation Scrapbooking Page

This was at Animal Kingdom.. We did the Behind The Scenes - VIP African Wild Trek 

It is an amazing experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

This is actually my 2nd time doing the trip 

I'll update photos (highlights) from the trip when I can catch up completely..

When we went we spend $150.00 per person.

I see on line that the price is now $189.00-249.00

I will tell you that that it is worth every penny...  I would have easily spent $250 a person.

It's a 3 hour private tour

Again I did these pages before I was thinking Blog...  So I didn't keep track of what I was using..

Here's the best I can remember.
