Read MoreIn Lounge Session 22 I’m finishing up a page with potential: it already has pretty colours and yummy 3D texture so it won’t need much more to look cool 🙂
Read MoreI received some happy mail with little artworks made from my book Secret Stash so… I incorporated into a colourful art journal so I never lose them!

Read MoreLounge Session 15 is about combining 2 elements I created previously (a background and a smaller artwork) into one cohesive (and finished) layout 🙂
Read MoreSometimes, creating a page is about combining elements together, and making them ”work” together into a unified layout. This is what I do… Let’s play 🙂
Read More

Read MoreIt has been quite a journey to get there but I am FINALLY happy with the results!! It all started in Lounge Session 8 but ended for good in Lounge Session 9 😉
Read MoreLounge Session 8 was a struggle! I thought I was getting somewhere with my art journal page and then I got stuck… I tried and tried and still got nowhere lol It just happens sometimes!
Read MoreTexture is the goal of Lounge Session 7! I love using modeling paste (also called texture paste) to add dimension to my pages and this pretty stencil really made my art journal page pop 🙂
