Valentine Stamping With Household Items - Mixed Media Tutorial
A few months ago, I shared how you can stamp with some common household items and it was a huge hit! I thought with Valentine's Day coming up soon it would be fun to show you some things you can do again but with a heart shaped theme!
Do You Ever Doubt Your Art?
Do
you ever doubt your creativity or your artwork? Do you get so
insecure that you're afraid to even put the pen down on the paper,
for fear you'll make a mistake? If so, then read on.
Most
artists and craftspeople – even “professional” ones – have
periods of self-doubt, so don't feel like you are alone! But what
gets me through the dry times is the fact that I know I was made to
create. God put the passion to create in me, and I know when I am
making things, I'm expressing his love for me. When I am secure in
his love, I am secure in my art.
Truth Scrap: Celebrating the Intersection of Faith and Art | Art Worship with Me
I can't tell you how hard it has been for me to not spill the beans! I'm so thrilled and honored and beyond excited about this one day event called Truth Scrap.
I so totally need a retreat after the new year to just refocus and fix my eyes on Jesus with hundreds of ladies. The bonus is we get to do it in our own homes and even in our pajamas if we want. This introvert is super happy about that part, lol.

Mixed Media Tutorial: Turning Blobs Into 2 Easy Doodled Flowers Styles
Last week I shared a fun and easy tutorial painting circles on your Gelli Plate. There were some pretty cool "blobs" on my cards and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.
I knew that I wanted to turn those blobs into flowers. I'm totally not a drawer in my art, but this was so easy. If I can do it, so can you.

Mixed Media Tutorial: 4 Steps Using Gelli Plate and Paint Brushes

Art Worship: Jesus, Be The Centre Art Journal Page
So, on Saturday I was looking through one of my unfinished journals and I had this heart shaped target page that was only half done. Well, actually it wasn't gesso'd and it was just something I had outlined out and had in my head last year.
So, I covered it up in gesso and decided to re-do/finish it. It didn't feel finished yet though. The meaning behind it was that I wanted Jesus to be the center. Funny thing was that it was one of our worship songs on Sunday and I knew exactly how to finish it.

Art Journal Bible: Deli Paper Collage Tutorial
While I was away in Kansas on a scrapbook retreat with dear friends, I was able to get some painting done. I actually didn't do any scrapbooking, but just bought several bottles of acrylic paint and had some fun with my Gelli plate making deli paper prints.
These were perfect for adding to my Art Journal Bible, and I'm going to show you how easy it is to do.

Mixed Media heART Journaling Bible: Covering and Decorating
I found my new favorite project!!! In all my almost 41 years, I never knew there was such a thing as a journal Bible. My friend Shanna Noel started doing art journaling in her Bible and a lightbulb totally hit me. Why is it that for years I always felt guilty doodling and scrapbooking in my Bible?
Many of you know too, that I have ADHD and was diagnosed about three years ago. My therapy was to bring a sketchbook with me to church and not be afraid to doodle and sketch. WOW, you have no idea how crazy it was that for the first time I was able to actually hear the message. I found that I had to be doing something with my hands in order to focus. So, the past few years I've been drawing in my sketchbook and art journals on Sunday mornings.

Mixed Media Tutorial: 5 Mixed Media Essentials You Can Find Around Your House
So, this week has been busy taking the kids to and from VBS and other family appointments. This means, I don't really have a tutorial for you this week. Not to mention it's been raining and gray so it's been a rough week for getting photos of anything.
BUT, I was asked last week in one of the pocket scrapbooking Facebook groups for a list of items that would be good for someone just wanting to get into mixed media. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do just that.
