Art Journal: Things that make me Happy

Klik hier voor de Nederlandse versie.

Hello crafty friends! As beautiful as autumn is, the days are getting shorter, the weather is getting chillier and that usually equates to a bit of depression to many people. I’m not immune to this slump either, so what better way to lift the spirits than with crafting, aka Craft Therapy!!

Today I’m sharing with you a page from my art journal which I titled “Things that make me Happy (and things that I like)”. I thought this would be a nice page to remind myself all the wonderful things that make me feel happy while doing something I love in this often dreary season. The page took me two evenings to “finish”, but as art journals go, it’s never really finished until you say it’s finished!

Watercolor Mother’s Day Cards

It’s Mother’s Day today and so I created two Mother’s Day cards, one for my mother and one for my mother in law.  Here are the two cards:

Both cards uses the same flower stamp and the same watercolor markers, yet the cards have a different look to it based on the techniques I used to add color!

Beary Happy Day!

Another challenge card!  Or should I say 3 cards!

Often I spend a lot of time making one card, but making three cards at once does not take that much more time… although the whole process took several days since I rarely have the chance to sit for a very long time to do something.
