Art Journal and Mixed Media Videos from December

 Happy New Year, y'all!!

I'm hoping to get back on track with balancing blogging and videos and Instagram and all the things. But, we all know it's a tightrope walk. So, I will not promise anything - just my hope. Let me finish last year by sharing the art journal and mixed media projects that I shared on YouTube in December. As is to be expected, the bulk is my #CraftyHopePrompts - a project I created for myself to build up and use a prompt deck. You can learn more about it in the videos. 

Card 10: Flower, Doodle, Napkin

Project 10: Canvas Board Art

Card 11: Stick, Sewing Machine, Gold

Project 11: Found Object Assemblage

Card 12: Sparkle, Watercolor, Cut

Because December was a busy month, I only got one other project completed in this realm: my Mixed Media Menagerie art journal spread.

The card for Week 14 of #CraftyHopePrompts is already up for this week too, if you're interested in playing along. Hopefully, I'll be back here soon with more variety. 

If you wouldn't mind, I'd LOVE to know what you'd like to see more of here. What you're missing from my posts. What you come here for. Let me know in the comments or shoot me an e-mail! 

Once again, Happy New Year!

Art Journal Videos from November

December is ALREADY getting the better of me. I've received a jury duty summons for next week and am desperately trying to get as much done before I have to fulfill that requirement. Jury duty is such a tricky thing because you just don't know what days or how long they will need you. So, I'm doing my best to prepare for being away. Mostly, I'm tackling some videos and Christmas shopping. And, I've let the blog get away from me. Drat! Here's a quick roundup of the art journaling and mixed media videos that you might have missed.

First, let me share the cards and projects for #CraftyHopePrompts, then anything else.

Week 5 Card: Stencil, Alcohol Ink, Crayon

Week 5 Project: Fairy Princess Shadowbox

Week 6 Card: Vintage, StazOn, Watercolor Marker

The Week 10 Card for CraftyHopePrompts is also up for your inspiration. If you have any questions about any of these, please don't hesitate to pipe up and ask!

Art Journal Videos in October

 If you're interested in my Mixed Media and Art Journaling endeavors, I like to do a monthly roundup of what you may have missed over on the YouTube Channel. For the next year or so, it looks like these roundups will consist mostly of my new #CraftyHopePrompts series, which has me working on building and using a prompt deck for the 52 weeks in a year.

Let's begin with that, then get to what else I created in October.

Week 1 Card - Silver, Geometric, Hole Punch

Week 1 Project - Tags

Week 2 Card - Gelli Print, Letter/number sticker, Junk mail 

Week 2 Project - Art Journal Spread

Week 3 Card - Spray Ink, Collage, Cardstock

Week 3 Project - Shadowbox

Week 4 Card- Feather, Watercolor Pencils, Mark-making

Week 4 Project - Junk Journal Page

I've already revealed the week 5 card/prompts but will save that for next month's roundup. I have created a page here with the weekly prompts and links to the videos if you'd rather keep up that way. I'll try to keep it updated. 

The only other art journaling video that I shared on YouTube was my contribution to Mixed Media Menagerie.
