Fun! Visit the blog & sign up…can't wait to make art with you. Plus, Revlie just announced you can buy individual classes instead of entire days.

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer Stencil Blog Hop
I adore Julie and her stencils from The Crafter's Workshop are fab, fab! I was given the Triangle stencil…and once I got started, I couldn't stop! I made lots of art journal pages (even more than I'm showing…you'll probably spot the triangle stencil on more pages in the coming week). Here's the stencil…you can get it in a 12×12 and 6×6 size. I have both & love 'em both.
I used my Stampington stamps on this page. This one looks like a paint store exploded onto my art journal, but hey, that's how I roll:
I cut a picture from a magazine & painted over it to make the figure for this page spread:
This one is grungy…I had blotted the triangle stencil after using it on another page. This is how it ended up:
Be sure to "hop" along to these fab blogs for inspiration!

Spilling a secret…
I feel privileged to be part of "21 Secrets"…yay! Read all about it here–I'm in great company, the other artists are amazing.

Each participant is able to choose which order of the 21 classes they take and have an active online community to share and grow with. All information including, pdf's, videos, and supportive text and photos are always available and teachers are present in a timely fashion to answer questions and share their comments."

Using leftovers on a journal page…
I had a big piece of "leftover" art from another project that I cut up. I thought it looked fun, so I glued it right onto a journal page, and then just wrote around it. Easy & quick!

I love this technique…
and I hadn't done it in awhile (layering with black spray paint…I teach it in Art Journaling 103: Composition and Color for Art Journalers).This page is a grungy mess…just how I like it.
