Susan took her favorite Distress Ink colors and the Feathered Friends and Garden Greens dies by Tim Holtz to create a nature scene in her Dyan Reaveley Dylusions Journal. She finished it with a sentiment from Tim Holtz’s Observations stamp set and assorted Idea-ology ephemera.

Andrea used her Dylusions Small Creative Journal to make this colorful scribbly page. She also used two stamp sets by Dina Wakley: Everyone is Welcome and Alphabet Blocks.

Anna-Karin created a spring-time art journal page. The daffodil background was made with the new Simon Says Stamp Off The Edge Daffodils from the Good Luck Charm release. The title was die cut with the Simon Says Stamp Capital B Beautiful die.

Barbara created the cover of her Bullet Journal for the year 2022 in a vintage/grunge version suited to her style. She used Tim Holtz Sizzix Quilted 3D Embossing Folder, Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamp set Floral Outline, Ranger Distress Resist Spray, Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Layering Stencil Polkadot.

Cheiron created a simple page in her Dina Wakley journal using some gelli prints from her stash and Bibi Cameron’s So Many Butterflies dies from her Bibi’s Butterflies collection. She placed the butterfly on a page painted with Sage and Syrup paints, and then stenciled over with Distress Texture Paste and the Simon Says Stamp Layering Heart Mandala stencil.

Kath created a nature-themed page in her Dylusions Small Creative Journal inspired by the chubby sparrows who visit her garden using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Bird + Egg Colorize Thinlits, Stampers Anonymous Splotches Mini Layering Stencil, Faded Type, Craze and Planks and an old favourite, Worn Text for the page title.

Macarena made an industrial page in her forgotten Art Journal and used The Professor saying “I’ve got an idea”.  She built the background using Tim Holtz Numeric stencil and Distress Oxide Sprays in various shades of blue.

Maura had so much fun in her Ranger Creative Black Journal and creating a colorful background using Dina Wakley acrylic paints like Magenta, Lime and Tangerine.

Meihsia was inspired to create an owl journal page using the owl image from Prima Marketing Owl redesign Decor Transfers with the background from Stamperia House of Roses 12 x 12 Paper and decorated it with Prima Marketing Foliage Hello Pink Autumn Flowers.

Sandra made an art journal spread with bold colors like Distress Spray Stain Crackling Campfire and Salvaged Patina with Perfect Pearls Heirloom Gold and Mint mixed in with them for a fun shimmer. 

Zoey created an highly textured art journal page using her favorite mediums : Distress Paints, Distress Sprays and Distress Grit Paste . To decorate the page, she used elements from the Tim Holtz IdeaOlogy Collection such as Groups Paper Doll, SNIPPETS Ephemera and THEORIES Quote Chips
