When Connie Solera from Dirty Footprints Studio contacted me and told me that I had been nominated to teach at 21 SECRETS I think my heart skipped several beats and I know I sat there with my mouth hanging open for who knows how long. Wow! I am SO HONORED to have been chosen and to everyone who voted for me there is no way that I can thank you enough!!! I wish I could hug you all!!!! But since I can't, I tried my hardest to bring you the best workshop that I can and my session is called FUN WITH NEON PAINTS. It is all about using neons paints and recycled materials to create four, pint-sized canvases!<br />

I almost hate calling this a mini-class because it's not going to be mini like that at all! I am so excited to have been given the opportunity to share my love of collage in a classroom format. This is the first time that I have ever gone through my entire collage process from beginning to end and I have so much to share with you. Each video has been recorded in real-time as I go through each subject step-by-step. So far I will be having 6 videos, which includes an introduction video, and I might surprise you with a bonus process video as well! My workshop will be live and run July 11th-15th of 2016. You are also able to sign up any time after that week until November 30, 2016. You will have "forever" online access to the videos with the option to download them if you choose. The classroom is in a forum so you will be able to ask me questions, get to know other students and share photos of your creations under each days topic.<br />

Hi everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all, you might be wondering what I mean by a Friendship Journal and I'm thrilled to tell you about it. :-) Christine Hiester shared a video on her YouTube channel last year where she talked about the journals that she and <a href="http://www.heathermattern.com/">Heather Mattern</a> had started creating and sending to each other. I absolutely loved this idea and when an on-line, art acquaintance of mine reached out to me asking if I would like to share friendship journals with each other I was so thrilled and honored to be asked! We only knew each other from Instagram and Facebook posts but there was definitely a friendship building between us and by sharing these journals with each other, our friendship is growing each day. Art has brought us together....our miles apart doesn't matter, our age difference doesn't matter (I'm sure it's more than I want to believe! lol), none of it matters....just growing as friends does and sharing our lives with each other through our art.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can watch me create the next friendship journal that I am going to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_LBHBbcrVM&feature=youtu.be">start working in here.</a></div>

There aren't any rules to how you do your friendship journal. We are both so busy that we work on ours and then mail it off when it's done, but you could easily set a goal to send yours to your friend at the end of each month, or every other month, whatever works best for you. Since it's easier for me to express my feelings in a visual form through collage I tend to lean more on those types of pages in my journal so it's all collage and found word sentences. If I do have more to say, I like to type it up and then either slip it in a pocket of the journal or adhere it to one of the pages. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best part of this for me is that I can work on it bit by bit and sometimes it almost feels like a diary. I love having this safe place to share my feelings and know that I have a dear friend there to listen to me....even though we live so far away from each other. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I like to use 9"x12" manilla envelopes for the cover of my journal. Then, I fill the inside with random pieces of paper and scrapbook paper that I have collected just like a junk journal. Just whatever I have on hand in my stash can make it's way into my journal like: calendar pages, small paper sacks, envelopes, etc. Since I focus on collage work, I try to make sure that I am using thicker papers so that I can collage on their easily. Thin paper is a lot harder to do collage work on. I also add pieces of mixed-media paper torn from journals.</div>

I hope that you enjoyed this and that it inspires you to reach out to someone and ask them if they would like to start sharing a friendship journal with you. It's such a wonderful way to learn about someone, build new friendships and strengthen old ones, get your art on and creatively share your life with someone who wants to listen.</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I worked on a mind map that was part of the January<a href="http://www.rightbrainplanner.com/" target="_blank"> Right Brain Planner</a>. Since using found word is such a comfortable way for me to journal, I decided to incorporate it into my mind map. For me, this version is a visual starting point to help get me motivated to start working on the things that I wrote out in the traditional style of mind map that I did before starting these pages. I plan on using those ideas that were generate there on future pages in my journal. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can watch me create these pages on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPoMtYywNCE&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>. I talk about my process as I'm working on these pages and also more about what these pages mean to me. It is a real-time video and I hope that you enjoy it. :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the video I talk about Teresa Robinson's <a href="http://www.rightbrainplanner.com/" target="_blank">Right Brain Planner</a> and how she has Gluebooking Saturday where she talks about different aspects of planning and incorporating that creatively into our daily lives as well as several prompts. The prompts that I talk about in this video <a href="http://www.rightbrainplanner.com/free-will-art-rewilding-idea-investment/" target="_blank">can be found here</a>. The Right Brain Planner pages are available for a very reasonable price and they are all hand drawn and created by Teresa and they includes all sorts of goodies in the downloadable printouts including monthly prompts, quotes, planning pages and oodles of inspiration. Gluebooking Saturday is open to everyone and I highly recommend you joining in on the fun! We share photos of our creations on social media with the hashtags: #RBPgluebook and #freewillart. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you enjoy gluebooking or are just curious about it, I also highly recommend joining us on the first Saturday of each month on Instagram for the online glue book party hosted by Christine at <a href="http://www.barebranchblooming.com/2014/10/an-online-gluebook-party.html" target="_blank">Bare Branch Blooming</a>. We have so much fun sharing our creations and there are several prompts throughout the evening and giveaways, too. I look forward to this every month and had to start putting it on my monthly calendar so that I wouldn't forget, because when I did I was heartbroken!</div>

Hi everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My son had preschool this morning so I was able to work on a couple of more pages in my journal. One of my YouTube followers asked if I could do some real-time videos and I decided this morning was a great time to do one! So, I turned the camera on and talked you through my process as I'm working on some found word collage pages that I like to call "heart journaling". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The monthly word prompt for <a href="http://rightbrainplanner.com/" target="_blank">The Right Brain Planner</a> is TRANSFORM so I created two pages representing what that word means to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope that you enjoy these pages and if you have time, grab a cup or tea or coffee, sit back and watch the video of me creating these pages that I'm sharing photos of below. I tried my hardest to keep it under an hour, because I know how precious all of our time is. </div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I spent the past couple of days working on the January Word Prompt with <a href="http://www.rightbrainplanner.com/" target="_blank">The Right Brain Planner</a>. I love having a word to focus on each month and even though I'm late, and it's almost mid-February....I wanted to do January's prompt. I love looking up the definition of a word and then also use a thesaurus to find synonyms and antonyms for that word. It helps me grasp what the word means better, especially when I can associate other words with it that have a similar meaning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The word for January is EMERGE so I went through my stash of magazine images and clipped words/phrases and created the two pages below. I love using images to help express the meaning of the word. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The inside of the tip-in has a space for me to eventually adhere a small piece of lined paper. I plan on doing a bit of journaling there and then it will be covered up with the beautiful blue water/floral paper. I am really silly about my handwriting and I don't like it in this journal. I am surprised that I added it to the page here! But I really wanted to use the elements from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vgt-AOUbI-M" target="_blank">The Right Brain Planner </a>pages and the synonyms for the word Emerge, so I went with it. So, the rest of my journaling will be covered up so it doesn't bother me, but there for me to see because it's important. Makes a lot of sense, huh? lol<br />
<br />
The gorgeous patterned papers that I used on these pages are printed collage sheet from <a href="http://shoptangiebaxter.com/pages/art-journal-emporium" target="_blank">Tangie Baxter's Art Journal Emporium</a>. These are my absolute favorite papers to use in this journal! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Hi everyone! :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started working on a Vision Booklet close to the end of 2015 and I have been so excited to share it with you. And now I can! This is going to be a lengthy and image heavy post, because I have so much that I am wanting to tell you about. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all, this is a companion blog post for my YouTube video about my Vision Journal. So be sure <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIlv4i80KzU" target="_blank">watch that video here</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last year, I decided to add Vision Board Pages to the front of a new journal that I had plans of writing in that new year. Well, I ended up only writing in it a few times, didn't like it (it was too thick and hard for me to write on) and ended up putting it on my bookshelf. Needless to say, I never looked at those Vision Board Pages again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So this year, I thought that it would be fun to create a small booklet, just for my vision pages. I made it small enough so that it easily fits into my journal that I'm happy working in, which is a Moleskine Art Plus Sketchbook. It also fits into the back of my Personal Size Filofax that I use as my daily planner. I'm not sure if I will ever really take it anywhere with me, but if I want to, I can. For now, it's sitting on my art table, where I can easily see it, pick it up, turn the pages, read the words, feel the paper....all of those things that help me focus on what I've put into my booklet. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just some tips if you would like to create a Vision Booklet for yourself:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Decide how big/small you want your booklet to be: Do you want it to fit in a journal or more than one sized journal? Or will you just be keeping it out on your work area? Use this information to decide what size to create your booklet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Pick out some paper to use for your booklet. Use papers that make you happy and that you enjoy! Scrapbook paper is great for the cover, especially the thicker, card stock type. For the inside pages use paper that you like to look at/use also. I used patterned paper from a FLOW Paper Magazine because it was easiest for me to grab. You could use: scrapbook paper, notebook paper, graph paper, watercolor paper, etc. I did discover while working on my pages that I liked working on the patterned side of the paper that I was using better than the off-white/plain side. Make sure that you have enough pages: at least one page per category. I worked across two pages for each of mine in my booklet. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* You need something to bind the pages together. I used black, wax thread. But you could also use yarn, floss, twine, even ribbon if you carefully thread it through the holes so to not tear the paper. I also used an awl to puncture the paper and a big needle. There are lots of videos out there on binding a booklet, but I would just keep it simple.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Choose some areas that you would like to focus on in your Vision Booklet. I have six: mind/thoughts, art/art career, body/fitness, faith, food/eating, and family/friends. You can have as many or few that you want. I wouldn't choose too many, because you want this to be a positive tool to help you acknowledge areas that you would like to work on throughout the year, not something that you look at and think, "Ugh, I have so many things I need to change about myself. It's too much. Too hard. So I don't even want to look at this" and onto off to The Shelf of Misfit Art Projects it goes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Find some magazines. Look at the categories that you chose to help you decide what type of magazines you will have the best luck finding images/words/phrases in. For example, a lot of my areas have to do with my health, fitness, mind, food....so I found a lot of useful things in a Cooking Light and Dr. Oz magazine. I also used Midwest Living, Real Simple, Life Beautiful and a free magazine from Whole Foods. I also have quite a collection of words/phrases/images that I've been gathering for over a year, so I went through a lot of those as well. Magazines can be expensive! Do do what you can to find magazines for cheap or even free. Ask friends if they have some they don't want anymore (since I share so much of my collage on line with my friends I have had several people ask me if I can use their old magazines they no longer want), check your local library and library book sales, Half Price Book Store, thrift stores like The Goodwill, garage sales, and even places like FreeCycle. I am signed up for FreeCycle of our city and I have seen people offering their magazine piles often. You can even put out a request on FreeCycle asking for magazines. Don't pass up on sale flyers/ads/magazines that you can find at your grocery store. They all have words and phrases in them that you can use in your found word collages.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Don't try to do this all in one day. Make this an enjoyable and non-rushed project. Find joy in this process! It's there, I promise! And don't worry that it's already the middle of January. These are things that are important to you and that you want to focus on throughout the year. Who says that you have to start making changes on January 1st? Anytime that you start is the best time for you. Just starting is what's important.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Keep it real. Don't be afraid to express your fears/worries/insecurities on these pages. It's good to get them out onto paper, let them be seen and acknowledged so that then you can start thinking about ways to do something positive in relation to it instead. No, I'm not a therapist or have gone through any art therapy training, etc...I'm just sharing what I've learned helps me process some of the not-so-great thoughts/feelings/emotions that I have sometimes. Please seek help if you are dealing with serious issues that you should not be tackling without professional guidance. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Listen to some relaxing music. I love Pandora and listen to the Cafe Del Mar channel a lot when I'm working in my collage journal. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Light a candle. I have a wood-wick candle that smells amazing and I love to listen to the crackle as the fire burns the wood wick.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Have a comforting drink...hot coffee or tea, wine...whatever! ;-) And a non-greasy snack. You don't want to get icky fingerprints on your magazine pages. My favorite is pretzel sticks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Other supplies that I had on hand - scissors, a small and large paper trimmer, glue stick, tape runner, Post-It notes (to write you categories on to help when clipping words/phrases) and some business-size envelopes (one for each category to put your clipped items in, just in case you need to clean up your work area for some reason) and a small paper sack for trash/clippings, if I was working somewhere besides my art area. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I hope that you enjoyed have a look into my Vision Booklet and I truly wish that you are inspired to create a booklet for yourself. Looking at my pages now as I'm typing this, I realized that I don't really have many specific or detailed goals listed. They are expressed more so in the thoughts that I am reminded of as I read the phrases. I love this, because it gives me room to change and grow and doesn't make it feel like it's "This or Nothing at All". <br />
<br />
Feel free to interpret what I've shared with you today in any way that works the best for you. If it would help you to list specific goals, then please do! Remember, this is YOUR Vision Booklet. Create it in a way that makes you happy and that will make you want to keep looking at it as we travel along through 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My most heartfelt thanks and gratitude go to you all for helping me grow so much as an artist in 2015 and I am so excited to see what 2016 brings!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Take care,</div>

Hi everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am so excited that Teresa Robinson, aka @stargardener, asked me to participate in her <a href="http://www.rightbrainplanner.com/art-party-2016/" target="_blank">Art Party New Years Eve 2016 Celebration</a>. I can't think of a better way to ring in a new year than by spending time with friends as we create and share together All Things GRACE in our lives. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am extremely inspired by song lyrics and I have had some lyrics from the song "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up!)" by Florence and the Machine running through my head for well over a month. I created a two-page spread in my collage journal not long ago using some of the lyrics from this song. You can see that video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nc38c9vxVI" target="_blank">by clicking here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another line from the song has been itching to be expressed in my journal and it inspired my prompt for tonights gathering, which is RELEASE.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"And in the spring I shed my skin and </span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">it blows away with the changing wind". </span> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>- lyrics from "Rabbit Heart" by Florence and the Machine</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I think of those lyrics, I envision myself tossing out all of the bad things from 2015 and releasing them into the wind....and then, welcoming in and asking for the grace of positives in contrast to those things that I'm letting go. I am hoping that by creating a visual representation of these feelings that it will help me truly let them blow away so that I can start working on the positives that I want in 2016. I have acknowledged them and make them known. Now it's time to let them blow away and begin fresh. While working on the RELEASING page, I decided that it was important for me to acknowledge and make not of the things in life that I want to be blessed with....areas that are opposite of those things that I'm letting go, areas that I want to work on with my personal growth and life. By looking at those things that I want to remove from my life, it helped me put into words ways I want to bless my life in 2016. These pages are in my Moleskine Art Plus Sketchbook. It has thick, card stock like pages that are perfect for collage pages. </div>

I absolutely love the image of the lady floating in the water and wanted to use as much of it that I could. There was quite a bit of text along the bottom third that I had to cut off. Since I wanted to use the whole image, and didn't want to turn it on it's side to make it fit on the page, I decided to add a tip-in. This way I was able to use the whole image by placing it on the journal page and the rest of it onto the tip-in. I like to use postcards that we receive from a local art gallery for my tip-in's because they have beautiful art on the front and I almost always leave it as is. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wasn't able to find the words "RELEASE" and "BLESS" in any of my magazines (yes, there have been times when I spent hours looking through piles of magazines for the perfect word...it's a sickness lol) so I used some letter stickers. And, to make things easier, I typed up the things that I'm releasing and what I want to be blessed with on my typewriter. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The beautiful papers that you see on the right side are collage sheets that are available from Tangie Baxter's Art Journal Emporium. I love the papers she creates so much and they work perfect as backdrops for the found words and phrases that I put on my journal pages. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The images that I have been using a lot lately are from Bella Grace Magazine. I have completely fallen in love with the photographs from this magazine. So much so that I started buying two copies....one to keep and one to cut up. I know that this is pricey, because it's not a cheap magazine (like any are anymore! lol) but I decided that since I wasn't buying any other magazines really and the fact that I am using so many images from the magazines in my journal, that it was worth it. The joy that I am getting from creating meaningful pages with the images makes it worth the expense. I was lucky to find two different issues of Bella Grace at my local Half-Price Book Store for $5 each, so it's always good to look around at places like that for magazines that you love! </div>

My daughter needed a birthday card this weekend for her best buddy who just so happens to be a huge Minecraft fan and I knew exactly what to do. The Frugal Crafter had just posted a video on a super fun Creeper shaker card on her YouTube channel and I knew that's what I needed to make. It was a lot of fun to make, too! All of my color stamp pads are so, so old that I ended up having to use acrylic paint and it worked just fine. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a link to the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOwVHdN7-S8" target="_blank">video from The Frugal Crafter</a> where she makes this card.</div>

<br />
So be sure to visit my YouTube channel to see my video...<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqgv41hNU2I" target="_blank">here's the link for you</a>.... and follow along through the video hop. Shannon Green was brilliant in coming up with this hop because all that you need to do is click on the top link listed in the comments and it will take you directly to the next video in the hop. It sure did make things nice and easy! <br />
<br />
I hope that you enjoy the project that I created and here are some photos of it for you to see. :-)<br />

<br />
Whew. What a crazy past few weeks I've had here. But, today I was able to work on some mixed-media post cards and it sure felt wonderful to push some paint around again! Both of these cards were created on a 4"x6" piece of water color paper. I picked up a couple of packs of watercolor paper from Target for around $3 and it's been working great to use as bases for ATC's (artist trading cards) and postcards. <br />
<br />
I always put leftover paint, color sprays and modeling paste onto pieces of deli paper to use on other projects and that's what I used for these two cards. It's a great way to make the most of your supplies and it's also fun to use pieces of paint covered deli paper as inspiration to start a new project. It helps get rid of that "fear of a blank page". <br />
<br />

<br />
Well, I couldn't resist doing another project for the YouTube artist collaboration called #lovesummerart ! I found a 6"x6" canvas board and decided that it would something fun to create for a change. I've been working 3"x5" index cards since June 1st, so it was nice to be working on such a solid surface instead of a flimsy card. lol<br />
<br />
When I first started this, I had an ocean sunset idea in my head and that I needed to use some products that I hadn't used in awhile. So I grabbed some of my Golden Fluid Acrylics as well as a few other things. It wasn't long until my ocean scene turned into grasslands, thanks to my blue and yellow paints mixing together and that was just fine because when I started, I decided that I was just going to play with different mediums and see what happened. I work best when I go into a project with that frame of mind, because I don't have a set idea in my head and just keep my head open to prompts from my muse. <br />
<br />
I really like how this turned out and the only thing that really bothers me about it is that I think the horizon line should be a bit lower. It's too close to being in the middle and I prefer it to be either visibly higher or lower than the middle of the canvas. But, that's okay, it's a fun, little piece of art that's now sitting on my mantle and a great reminder of the plains of my home state.<br />

<br />
What an amazing weekend this has turned out to be! Head over to YouTube and put in the hashtag- #lovesummerart -and you will discover loads of videos from artists all over the world who are shaving their love of ART and SUMMER with everyone. It's quite an amazing collaboration of people who have come together and all because of ART. This makes my soul so happy! Working in my art journals has completely changed my life. It's a safe place for me to create and lots of times to work through difficult and troublesome feelings that I am experiencing at the time. I'm not good at putting things down in words, but wow does it ever help me to put down lots of layers of paint and other mediums, or cut images and words from magazines and glue them together in collages. So, being a part of this movement has been such a wonderful experience and I sure hope that you spend some time watching as many of the #lovesummerart videos that you can. You won't be sorry and you might also find some artist on YouTube that you had not discovered before. That's what I'm excited about....finding new channels to watch!<br />
<br />
I must admit that my muse seemed to have taken a hike when it came to working on this project. I have been so focused on my ICAD cards and it was hard at first for me to switch gears for some reason. But, late last night I was flipping through a magazine and found the perfect image. Then I searched on "summer quotes" and found a great quote. This morning, my art buddy joined me, and I'm so happy with how it all came together.<br />

<br />
Well I think that I have gotten myself all caught up with my ICAD's! I know that it's not required to have a card for each day and that there is no being behind or catching up....but when ICAD started up this year I really wanted to have a card for each day. I have come close in the past, but just haven't done it yet. This will be my year! lol <br />
<br />
So, here are the rest of the cards finishing off with todays card, which is Day 38.<br />

<br />
Oh goodness I have been terrible with updating my blog. And here I am sitting here at 3:00 a.m., typing this up without my glasses on, so please look over all my mistakes. lol<br />
<br />
Summer vacation has been as eventful as ever around here and life with 5 kids, ages 4 to 24, has been full of every thing you could ever think of. lol And what makes it the craziest is having such a wide range in children it's so hard sometimes for me to switch gears between them all.<br />
<br />
So, there will be an image heavy posts until I get caught up with sharing what I've been creating during ICAD 2015. To learn all about ICAD, please visit <a href="http://daisyyellowart.com/" target="_blank">Tammy's site at daisyyellowart.com</a> . And be sure to follow her blog so that you don't miss out on any of the amazing art that she shares! :-)<br />
<br />
Okay, let's do this....there are process videos for almost all of these cards<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/PackerDi" target="_blank"> on my YouTube page</a>, so be sure to check things out over there so you can see how these were created.<br />

All rightie! I think...um hope...that I shared all of the cards that I've created so far. I absolutely LOVE creating these little pieces of art! Since life is so crazy right now, working on these cards are my saving grace every day. And, they are a fun place to just PLAY! I love to experiment on them. I love to recycle crazy bits of basically things that should have been tossed into the trash can onto them. Gluing down bits to create texture is probably one of my favorite things and I hope that sharing what I love and videos of me playing to see what happens, inspires you to do the same. I have learned to much as I create these cards each year and my style has grown so much into something that's finally and truly me. How awesome is that for slapping paint around on a cheap, 3x5 index card? Who would have thought? lol So I totally encourage you to try this, any time. Not just during June and July when ICAD is in full swing.</div>

Thanks so much for stopping by and especially for all of your kind words of support and comments about my creations. I have really been trying to cut down my screen time, so I've gotten so behind with responding to your kind comments on my videos. I appreciate it more than you will ever know and each day I'm just totally humbled at the thought of how many people follow me on YouTube. I never, ever, ever thought that people would enjoy what I create. Especially since my self-confidence has always been so low, most of all whenever it comes to my art. </div>

Take care and thanks so much again!</div>

<span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/">SCACD</a> celebrated today a newly released, exclusive rubber stamp set called Eclectic Sea which consists of nine rubber stamps. The Eclectic Sea is a twist of sorts in how something land bound might be seen in the ocean; for example a Sunflower that is now a Coral Sea Flower and vice-versa. So check out the collection as these are really unique and elegant. SCACD Artist Carmen Medlin and Susana collaborated on the images and we are so happy to be showcasing them to you now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now available <a href="http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/categories_sls.php">to purchase in the USA</a> for the Eclectic Seas Collection. Be sure to visit the store to see all of the amazing stamps in this collection! They are all absolutely stunning!</div>

I was really excited to get to play with the large and small Coral Sunflowers stamps. And, the best part for me was challenging myself to use them in different ways, especially on a mixed-media project and in my art journal. Plus, I love making ATCs (artist trading cards) so I knew that I had to make one of those as well. ;-)</div>

I could ramble on and on about how neglected my blog is and all that jazz, but I'm not even going to bother. lol Let's just jump right in with right now and right now it's all about ICAD which is short for Index-Card-a-Day. First of all, if you're wondering what that is...<a href="http://daisyyellowart.com/icad-base/">please visit Tammy's site</a> to learn all about it then come right back here because I have lots to share!<br />
<br />
This is my fourth year participating and it has become one of my favorite times of year. I mean seriously, just go look at the ICAD Facebook group and you can't help but be amazed at all of the awesome art but what's even more incredible is thinking of all of these people around the world who are creating a little something, turning a plain, old index card into a work of art, and sharing it with others. How cool is that?<br />
<br />
Before ICAD started up on June 1st, I thought it would be fun to do a video flip of each years worth of cards that I have created. I don't think that I have actually made it all the way through the June and July with a card for each day, but that's okay. I created when I could and enjoyed every second of it and that's what's important.<br />
<br />
You can see those videos here:<br />

I absolutely love creating on these little cards! They are a bit bigger than an ATC (Artist Trading Card which is 3.5"x2.5") and they aren't as big as a journal page. Plus, they are cheap! You don't feel bad about "ruining" them or creating something that you don't like on them because it's just a small piece of paper. They are a great place to practice on with new supplies that you have or ones that you've had forever but haven't ever used. I also really love to recycle things onto my cards. Things you wouldn't think of too like the part of a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGcIkZriYKo">mesh bag that lemons/limes come in</a> to<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-wGD7N7j54&index=42&list=PL5atA4gKldIHtlNk39g0Hev1pyNKvNMq6"> flat cotton balls</a>. I think one of the things that I enjoyed the most about doing the videos with all of my cards from the last three years was seeing how much my style has grown and changed into something that's truly me. I have learned so much from just experimenting with my art supplies on these little cards!<br />
<br />
Today is June 6th, so here are my cards that I have created so far as well as a link to a YouTube video of my creating that card. I am hoping to be able to video creating as many cards as I can. If I don't, there will always be photos of the cards here.<br />

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to keep things updated here with my daily card shares! I have been doing TONS of creating since my last blog post and I'm really wanting to share some of those projects bit by bit as we go through the summer months. :-)<br />
<br />
Take care!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished "Fangirl" by Rainbow Rowell at 1 a.m. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and started "The Girl on the Train" by Paul Hawkins</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while waiting in the school parking lot. I always have </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at least 4 books going at the same time, I think. lol</div>

I'm in an ATC swap group and we had a swap where</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you mailed an envelope of goodies to someone and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then they had to create an ATC with what you were </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
given. Here's my first envelope of goodies.....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was able to make four ATC's from the goodies that I </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was given and did not add hardly any of my own embellishments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love challenges like this!</div>

At The Art Journal Emporium we are having a post card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
swap and I needed to make 10 post cards. Since these will</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
be mailed, I decided to do magazine image collages and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
finally started working on those this morning.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been very inspired lately watching <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/GulfSpr1te">Christy Sobolewski (aka Gulfsprite)</a> and her weekly YouTube vlog and art reviews. She's been sharing what she's worked on during that week and I love that idea. Hopefully, that's something that I can start doing as well!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But for now, I think that I will try to do just a quick update, hopefully daily, on my poor, neglected blog. Not much chit chat, just photos of what I did that day and what-nots like that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was embarrassed to see that I had not posted on here since September 2014! Being asked to create some projects for the <a href="http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/index.php">SCACD Celebration Hop</a> pulled me out of my no-blogging shell and seems to have inspired me to share more on here again. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have actually been creating like crazy since January! I signed up for <a href="http://wyanne.com/">Wyanne Thompson's</a> class "You & Me in 2015" and once it started up the middle of January, I haven't stopped creating something almost every day. This has been such a blessing to my soul! And, the biggest reason for that change was that I was able to move my art area from our cold, dark dungeon of an unfinished basement. I am now in the "formal dining area" on the main floor of our house, right by the kitchen, and everything else that I need to be by as a busy mom. The kids and I share this area, so it's half play room/ half art studio and it's been working out wonderfully! Now I can work in there so easily, even if it's just a few minutes here and a few minutes there. It is honestly the best thing that has happened in my artist life! I did a quick walk through of my art area at the beginning of the video today for my Journaling by 5s-Session 5. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG3zPf3Zn2Y&feature=youtu.be">You can see it here</a>. :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, I will start sharing photos of the things that I have made these past couple of months, bit by bit, until I'm caught up....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For now, here's what I did today.....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Snow arrived early this afternoon and we went from being 37F degrees</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
outside to feeling like 10F degrees in just a few hours....burr....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG3zPf3Zn2Y&feature=youtu.be">finished up Session 5</a> of Shannon Green's Journaling by 5s....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so this journal is all done and ready for "free play"!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pulled some images to use to make 10 collage postcards</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then realized that I was out of 140 lb watercolor paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to use the watercolor paper as a base, because it's sturdy.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lots of painty goodness went onto this set of 6-inch square canvases, including acrylic paints, color sprays, stencils, Gelatos and some collage as the first layer. I stamped the images onto card stock and colored them in with LuminArt Silks. Just for fun, I used some pink, acrylic dots at the top of the flower stamens. </span></div>
