VDay or DDay?

Leave a comment

Valentine’s Day seems to be not just a love holiday, but also one hated my many. For the haters it may be D(itch the) Day. Whether it’s because one doesn’t have a romantic loved one, or has been left and hurt by someone who was supposed to love them, or because they think it’s just commercialism, pushing for purchases of flowers, chocolate, jewelry and dinner out. It may be the disappointment in not receiving things like that, not feeling loved. It may be feeling pressured to give specific things on a specific day, and think everyday should be love day,… Continue reading →

Styling in Card Making

Leave a comment

Do you have a go-to card making style you use? Certain techniques and supplies that are almost always included? Do you make multiples of the cards you make? Or are they all unique? And your style more varied and eclectic? If you follow me, you know I’m very eclectic, and always unique; utilizing many different techniques, but having a couple primary supplies that show up most of the time.

After posting my first art journal page of the year, I stepped into something that’s usually not my style, as a challenge. You know. Sometimes you just have to step out of your wheelhouse and do something different. This one was a several sessions Collage class, with Cat Rains. I didn’t have time to prepare my papers, to the extent suggested. That was supposed to happen in Dec, when I was up to my eyeballs… Continue reading →

🥳 Happy New Year! 🥳 The last shall be first. Meaning, my last make of 2025 also became my first make of 2026. I had decided the theme for my NYE art project a week ago, choosing Comfort & Joy. I even designed a couple images for my focal point. But when I sat down last night to create, it just wasn’t coming. So I started with some neurographic drawing, which is always a good art (and brain) exercise when you’re not sure what direction you want to go. But it wasn’t what I had envisioned! After rounding and coloring,… Continue reading →

Happy New Year’s Eve!What was your favorite thing you created in 2025? Here are 12 of my favorite mixed media Faith+Art makes of 2025.It was hard to narrow them down, they all brought me such Joy in the making. Although I repeat like a broken record, “transformational art making is more about the beauty created in you than on the canvas/page,” it’s still nice when we have finished art projects that we love. Up first is a journal page I’ve never shown here before. It’s from my course, He Restores My Soul—a transformative Faith+Art journey through Psalm 23. I love… Continue reading →
