Fall colors

Pumpkins at the MN Arboretum.   

I was able to finish this page in my journal today.  The fall colors are so beautiful this time of year.  

This time of the year is bitter sweet.  The colors are amazing but I know what is just around the corner!  MN snow will be here before we want it!

Working with my TOMBO markers

I am having so much fun trying out my new markers!  I love the rich colors and that I can blend them so easily!

Mixed Media pages of my journal

 I love working with surrealistic images that I created with magazine pictures!

 I will make these images and then hunt to find just the right journal page to put them on. 

Inspirational journal pages

 At the end of this summer I was able to watch baby blue birds grow in the nest via a camera that was inside the bird house.  I was so captivated by the experience that I began to take pictures of their daily growth and then began to start my journal pages.

 Nature that God has made is so amazing!  It was incredible to watch!

Fish Doodle

 I started drawing a fish and then doodled shapes inside and out of it.  Using colored pencil I shaded it in.

 As an art teacher I am always looking for the cheapest way to bring art journaling into my classroom.  I have my students use these card stock paper journals and they work great for creating our art work!  Of course I have to make one too!

 Summer will come...even though this year it is sure taking it's time!

During trying times God gives me strength!

Newest pages of my Dream journal

 Started working on multiple journal pages at a time. 

 I love working with surrealism!

Once I get started I just don't want to quit until I have finished the page!
