My Way Of Living

This is part of sort of a challenge managed by Tina Walker for Stencilgirl Stencils, where we have prompts to create. This is my take on the prompt This is how I started #challenge #prompt #color #design #paint #stencil #stamp #stamping #painting #doodling #journal #blog #paper #image #mixedmedia #handmade #collage #thestencilfiedjournal #stencilgirl #gelliprints

This is my first post for 2018 and seems like ages I didn't journal. I've been working on Encaustic, making collages on wood, gold leafing, playing with resin and a few more things and I felt the need to play with paint, stencils, stamps and of course color! #blog #ink #color #collage #paper #stamping #mixedmedia #design #handmade #stamp #stencil #paint

Welcome to the October Blog Hop for the Jessica Sporn Designs Creative Team. Today I'm thrilled to be hopping along with great artists to share some "Frightfully Fall" creations using Jessica's stamps and stencils. We have a great giveaway - one lucky commenter will win Jessica's Cascading Leaves stencil and Tree of Life stamp. All comments on all the blog hop participants count, so make sure to visit everyone and leave some kind words! Marit Barentsen Sherry Canino Kristin

I'm sure all of us need many boxes, drawers and other stuff to keep organized tons of materials we have been collecting over the years. For me, folders are super necessary to organize my painted papers and all the bits and pieces I save to make collages. I painted the manila folder (jacket) with various reds and oranges, then I glued the collage sheets I did separately .

I was inspired by Christy Sobolewski to make a journal page out of collaged manila tags, (#tagology). It was a lot of fun because I love collages and making several at once in a small surface is so much easier. #gelliprints #design #stamping #blog #diecut #handmade #stamp #color #paper #mixedmedia #ink #craft #collage #DIY #paint #sew

This is a collage I did thinking of my daughter Daniela, hope she likes it. I guess I should have said Black and White with a touch of gold.... #sew #ink #craft #collage #paper #mixedmedia #handmade #stamp #diecut #paint #DIY #blog #color #design #gelliprints

Sometimes while creating I find myself thinking out of the box and this time I was going to make a wonky town but that huge tree came to my mind and I finally did like a forest town, totally unexpected!! I have to confess I'm not sure I like it but I spent so much time with the butterflies, doodling, stamping, etc. that I decided to post it. Every paper I used is a Gelli print. #gelliprints #design #paper #mixedmedia #color #stamping #blog #DIY #paint #diecut #stamp #handmade

I did these journal pages after watching an online class by Mary Beth Shaw. #stamp #gelliprints #design #stamping #blog #paint #DIY #paper #tutorial #mixedmedia #color #ink #collage #handmade

I love to buy old advertisements but never use them (sounds familiar?), now I used one on this collage as an experiment. I also used a Hebrew page from an Israeli newspaper my son brought to me. #ink #stamping #blog #design #gelliprints #DIY #paint #diecut #color #paper #mixedmedia #handmade #stamp #craft #collage

As usual, for this collage I used Gelli prints on deli paper with a touch of stitching and StencilGirl stencils, but this time I did something less colorful. #sew #diecut #handmade #stamp #craft #collage #paper #mixedmedia #color #paint #gelliprints #design #blog #stamping
