Tim Holtz February 2015 Tag/Journal!!!!!

Good Evening, how are you all today?  I am still fighting this horrible laryngitis and chronic sinus bought on from having the flu.  But in myself I am feeling loads better and have been busy all week creating.  Some I can't show you yet as they are for swaps which are going out and some I just didn't get time to blog it.  Now today, your probably wondering about the title, well I love Mr Holtz Monthly Tags but my problem is I don't seems to be a taggy person.  Each time I would start but never finish which frustrated me.  So in January I did the normal starting of the tag and got rid of it, then I thought to myself, Mr Holtz is all about the creative journey, I wonder if he would mind be doing 12 months of journalling and WOW I so enjoyed every part of this months tag, so much that I am going back to do January.  It was great getting all my Distress products out to play.

Here is Mr Tim Holtz (click to be beamed away

to his blog) tag

And here is my journalling take on February.  All Products are listed

at the bottom of the page.

The background is the same except I used a Stabilo All pencil around

the edges and also added some texture with the harlequin stencil and 

translucent paste.

I have to admit the best thing is the space, I was able to take elements

from the tag and add more to it.

I have to admit, this has made me happy, let's just hope it's allowed lol.

Right I better be off, thank you so much for visiting, and I hope you have a lovely evening.

Happy ART :-)

This Makes Me Happy

Hi ya, I know it's been so long, I'm afraid our family came down with sickness bugs and another flu virus, normally we miss things like this but not this time, Oh no we got the lot.  I am the last of them now but still feeling rough, especially seems I can't speak as it's left me with laryngitis which is so painful.  It has been funny as well in some ways lol.  I tried to go back to working at home last Thursday, the office rang and I am trying to say hello but no voice comes out so Michelle my PA puts phone down, it was like this a few times until I emailed her and explained lol.
Anyway I have been doing some playing in my journal on and off while feeling under the weather and I have a two things to show you today for the Paperartsy Paint Challenge.  One is in my journal and another is a canvas to test out some playing. All the products are listed at the end of the post for both creations.  Hope you enjoy :-)

I really love these pages, they really do make me happy.

It all started with my Fresco paints and just adding layer upon layer.

I didn't know if it would turn out to anything, just playing.

I have started to really let go and not care if I don't get an end result,

which is really helping me learn new techniques, I'm loving it lol.

After the close up pics they are some pictures of just the painted page,

also this page was going to have dots all around but I covered them up 

and went with this.  Which Way Would You Have Gone? :-)

Would you have picked this way?  or the way I went?  They both looked good

but I felt this look a bit too unfinished and I wasn't sure what to do with it next.

So I painted over them all instead lol.

Next is a play canvas, I have shown a few pics of what I did.  Basically I see so many creations that use Golden High Flow to make gorgeous canvases.  I decided if I could do it with Fresco paint and using Golden Airbrush Medium.  It did work, but I think I should have had them in the middle to start with instead of all around.  The Airbrush Medium made it slightly tacky in places, I have heard that it can be done with water as well so I must try that.  After I added a mix of stamps and random swirls from left over paint just to add something visual on it.  I am making up some wall space of small canvases like this one so I can see ideas and techniques everyday :-)

Right that's it from me, I have got lots to show you this week now I am at least up and around from my sick bed.  And of course typing is an easier way then trying to squeak some voice out lol.
Happy Art :-)
