THIRD SECOND FLOOR CHALLENGE

I had so much fun creating these art journal pages.  I used the technique of the week from the Art Journaling Club of the OutlawWomen Scrapbooking Emporium, a project that I needed to complete about myself for the class I am taking with Nana Campana called Ashes to Beauty and the Third Second Floor Challenge which was to do a project prompted by 'truth'.  The technique was to draw puzzle pieces all over the page, gesso the page then color the pieces (which I did with colored pencil and turpenoid) and then do your project on top - which I then added stenciling with Molding Paste, Picket Fence Stain and Gold Paint Dauber, and then writing down the first 10 of my Character Strengths from the VIA Survey of Character Strengths.


Here is my finished work:

I hope you have enjoyed coming with me to the Second Floor and learning a little bit more about me all at the same time as checking out my latest creation.

SCRAPPING EVERYDAY MIRACLES

Last night I discovered another sketch challenge over at Scrapping Everyday Miracles.  There are two wonderful prizes being offered one of which is an opportunity to attend Ashes to Beauty with Nana Campana.  I immediately got to work on my submission.  Here is the sketch you had to work with.  The first thing I did was to rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise to accommodate the photo I chose.

and here is my submission:

Thanks so much for stopping by!
