Artist Books and Other Cool Stuff!

How many times have you wanted really bad to make something, but it seemed like you had already "Done it all"??? I find myself feeling that way pretty often...and when I do, I hit the Googler Machine, and start looking for something different...I go to the google search and put in what i DO have in stock, and then do a search and see what projects come up... I have found many a wonderful project to work on by doing this practice, and it takes the guesswork out of trying to come up with something on your own! Try it sometime!! Besides..one good project can spawn many other side projects that you never even thought about..,give it a try and let me know how it works out for you!

Word Art for your Journal Pages!

Ever get feel like all of your journal pages are starting to look the same? Want another creative outlet that is a bit different? Try word art-like these little decorated words I have here:

All three of these are words I made on card stock (110 lb.) and can be glue or decoupaged into my journal pages, or added to a card! The idea came to me one day, when I was making up some journal prompts for a group I am a member of  on CCS (Coach Creative Space) the wonderful ning group where my creative coach is.

The words are on white card stock, then I mounted that onto orange cardstock, although you could use any color you wanted, of course! These were my "Art Every Day for a Month" works per Andrea Schroeder's blog that I joined! Try these quick and easy art projects on a day when you don't really feel like a big project!
