Tri-Colour Challenge with Sam of Kiss My Creative…

Today I’m collaborating with Sam of Kiss My Creative in Canada. We’ve sent each other a 6 picture mood board featuring our favourite colours and tasked each other to create an 8×8 square project using the mood board for inspiration! The mood board Sam sent me is below.

You can watch the entire project from start to finish by clicking my YouTube link below. Don’t forget to show me some love and click the “Thumbs Up”!

Check out Sam’s channel to see what she’s created with the prompts I’ve sent to her: https://youtu.be/N2qiyeY6lUE

Art Journal Page – Cause & Effect

Sometimes half the fun of doing an art journal page is not knowing what the page your creating is going to look like. I started this page with no idea in my head at all about what was going to happen. I had decided before hand that I would only use materials that were within reach and were just laying about in my craft room.

As always I have filmed the entire process from start to finish with a little help from my 4 legged buddy! Click the image below to watch.

I hope you enjoyed watching this stream of cosmic creativity, if so remember to give the video a thumbs up as it really does help! Thank you.

Mixed Media Art Tag – Every Road

I found an old tag journal, unused and unloved in an old box left over from when I had the store. I thought I’d put it to use and have a play. The size of the tags are 4 x 8″ so a goodly size for colourful projects. To watch the complete start to finish project, click the YouTube link below.
