My Brain

"Right brain: I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feet. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be."

The human mind amazes me.

Favorite!

So I was thinking about how I said that this is my all time favorite craft item. I have decided that I can't say that! I love so many crafty things. But, these little guys are definitely top 5 material.

Yup, STICKERS! I love them so much. Maybe it's the future teacher inside me but I just can't get enough! I think they are so fun. I especially like the cheesy "GREAT JOB" stickers. I think they're so encouraging. So if you want to see me smile, just give me a sticker. :)

I have failed the 30 Day Journal Challenge.

It's actually quite pathetic. I made it to day four.

I'm ashamed.

In other news, I love my mom's Cricut.

I plan to post later this week about my favorite craft item of all time so stay tuned!
Here's a hint: it's sticky.

That's all for now.

30 Day Art Journal Challenge Day 2

Create 3 to 5 simple, accomplishable goals for your 30 day journal challenge. What are some things that you hope to accomplish through this adventure?

I used black marker to write and draw the flag bunting. I filled it in with green, pink, and orange paing.

30 Day Art Journal Challenge Day 1

Create an introduction page. This can be an introduction of yourself or of your journal. This is kind of like the title page for your journal.

I made this page using neon yellow tissue paper, a Battery Charged Blue Crayola marker, and sequins.

Art Journal

I have always wanted to start an art journal but I have lacked the inspiration to come up with prompts. So I was so excited to hear that Janel, from a blog I follow called Run with Scissors, is having a 30 day art journal challenge!



The cool thing is, last weekend I found this journal on sale at Beverly's. It was originally $13.99 and I got it for $7.00! I'm tempted to go buy more so I'll have extras!



I plan on posting images from each of the pages I make so stay tuned. The challenge doesn't start until June 1st, so if you are interested there is still time for you to join! Just head over to Run with Scissors!

Update

Ohhhh man, it's been awhile... sorry! With finals and then driving home, there wasn't much time for creativity. Actually a lot of creativity but no time to document!




Anyways, I have been crafting like crazy lately. So far I have made a bunch of cards and I'm almost done with an awesome collage. I'll take some pictures later.


My next project is a flag bunting! I think they are so cute and it would be a great addition to spice up the dorm room next year. I've already got some really cute fabric for cheap cheap cheap! The next step, however, is learning how to sew!
