Stamps Ahead

I wanted to share with you something I have been working on. One of the artists I follow on-line recently had a quote "Your art does not need a purpose." I loved that saying so decided to finish this portrait style accordion journal that I started at beginning of the year and then put aside as I was stuck by my inner artist and began to doubt where I was going with it. This little journal started out as 3 pieces - I decided to join together. Lots of bits and pieces that were laying on my table with mark making, rustic stitching and more. Unfortunately, the white paint pen I used on the black ink shapes did not come out in the photography - trust me there is doodling there! Thank you looking, Margaret

This past weekend I participated in a Colour Cybercrop over at Mystical Scrapbooks.  Here are the 3 layouts I created for the 3 challenges. Challenge 1 - create a monochromatic layout.  Photo was of sunrise on 22nd April, 2022 at Coolum Beach, Queensland.  I loved the moodiness of the photo. Challenge 2 - a layout showcasing "Orange" Challenge 3 - be inspired by a colour palette above. My sister and I were on a short holiday over the Anzac week and we had limited scrapbook supplies with us. My sister had purchased a paper pack at Spotlight and I used 3 sheets from this pack to create my layout. Torn paper, simple line stitching, fussy cutting and a chipboard from another project I was working on. The colours are more muted than the provided colour palette. Thank you for looking, Margaret
