Playing in my art journal

Lately I've been playing in my art journal. I find it incredibly freeing to play with all sorts of media and allowing me to be expressive. What started out as an intro class I was teaching at Pointer scrapbooking, has become a recent passion in my creative journey. Here are some of pages and hopefully you are inspired to play also.  These first pages were about playing with technique. The later ones were also about play but had more thought put into them.

Cover with book pages, paint and stamping. Play with colour combo.

Mixed Media Canvas

Thought I could share some Mixed Media canvas' I did as a fun class at Pointer Scrapbooking a couple of months ago.  I made these on 5x7"canvas board and thought that if you don't use them as canvas', then with your Crop-o-dile, you could easily make them into mini-album or art-journal covers. Just all around fun!
