The butterfly, seagulls, lizard and hibiscus are all extractions from my own photos. I created the painted look for the notebook background by clipping one of the artsy papers to the notebook element and setting the blend mode to Darker Color.

Created for the April Art Journaling Challenge #2 - Food This is totally different than my normal style of art journaling. No blending. No paint. Totally different for me. But sometimes we just have to go where the creative muse leads us.

Created for the April Art Journaling Sleep Challenge. I've struggled with sleep since I was a child. I've always envied people who can just lay down and go to sleep. I used Rachel Jefferies Dreamscapes Kit and Rachel Jefferies Epic Cosmic Stuff.

I'm not a morning person and never have been. I used a photograph that my granddaughter took on her way to work one September morning. I was going to use a picture I took of one of the few sunsets that I witnessed, but it wasn't nearly as beautiful as this one. I used: Maya de Groot Summer...
