Art Journal Cover & A Walk in the Park

I'm in the middle of a few pages in my moleskine so I thought I would share another project with you.  I'm working on a kraft chipboard book I picked up from Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago and I wanted to share my progress. The brand of the album is Farm House Paper Company. Some of the pages are chipboard and others are tiny envelopes.  I'm no where near finished but I'm happy with the cover so far.

My mom and I were on a morning walk when we came across an empty birds nest. There are still quite a few birds hanging around. I'm already looking forward to the spring when flowers bloom and the warm weather comes back. 

Well, thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone had a great holiday!

Canvas Mini Book

I picked up this canvas mini book from Micheal's a while back.  It sat around for a while before I decided what I wanted to use it for.  The theme over on the Sketchbook Challenge for June is garden doodles.  I don't have a garden of my own so I just searched for photos of my favorite flowers online. 

I plan to bust out my oils and paint these up.

I am looking forward to seeing color on my flowers and 

I'm interested to see how the canvas pages hold up to oil paints.

My First Smash Book Entry

So...I finally caved and got a Smash Book.  I've wanted one for so long and when I went home to visit my parents I picked one up!  I'm very excited although I think I'm trying a bit too hard to make it perfect.  I'm sure that will fade in time but I did want to share my first entry.

 I had fun with this page and already have pics picked out for my next few pages.  

Please let me know if you like to Smash as well!
