The design prompts for this month are batch, type, variety. I went outside the box a little this time to interpret variety. I used a variety of colors and Gina's stencil with the word create to encourage variety in our art.

#Ginabahrensdesignteam May 2018
The design team prompts for this month are peak, height, flourish. Sometimes you just have to think outside the box on a prompt. So I chose one of Gina's digital doodles (doodlegirl #1) and the quote "she looks for adventure around every corner".

#ginabahrensdesigns April 2018 Team Design
This months prompts are develop, expand, and buildup. I chose to use a few of her stamps for the words "Inspired Artistic Journey". I built up layers of circles and colors. The quote was used to encourage myself and others to expand our world of creativity.

#ginabahrensdesigns March 2018 Design Team Project
My goal for this months prompt was to use one of Gina's stencils. The prompt was portion, segment, section. I used the stencil Four Square 1. This stencil has the face and the quote I used. I also used a small piece of handmade paper Gina had gifted me and stenciled the face on it. I incorporated the prompts into the background of the page. I wanted to keep this art journal page simple.

#Ginabahrensdesign 2018 February design Team Project
I've enjoyed being on Gina's design dream and want to share my second project with you. Our prompt was compassion, tenderness, resolve.
I chose to create four ATC cards.
My goal was to use my newest set of Gina's stamps. I used one of her newest designs which is set #15. I just love all the hands and hearts. Even though our prompts were not specifically Valentine related I thought they still reflected the month of February.

Mermaids
I created this card and envelope for my sweet 8 year old granddaughter's birthday. We both love mermaids. We collected the shells last weekend on her birthday weekend trip.

Fall Art
I love this time of year. The weather becomes cooler, the leaves change their colors, and pumpkins everywhere. I did this piece of art on a large piece of slate many, many years ago. It is still one of my favorite pieces to display during the Fall season.

Sunset
Last night we had a gorgeous sunset at the beach. I love how the colors sparkle in the water. It's such a peaceful and beautiful way to close out the day.

Fall Art
I haven't posted in awhile. Here's a Fall piece I just finished. I used a challenge of three colors: green, yellow and orange. Used a napkin with pumpkin image, Tim Holtz cat stamp, and mini coffee filter. On my wipe off background I added some stamps and stencils from my good friend Gina Ahrens. Her stamps and stencils can be found in her etsy store by the same name. I love her products. #GinaAhrens#loveartjournaling#lovefallart
Hope you enjoy!

Watercolor fish
I enjoyed Gina Bronzini Ahrens watercolor Wednesday today on Periscope. I couldn't see her inspiration piece so I just painted as she painted, even though the image was broadcasting upside down.

Mirror, mirror
This week's DLP prompt done on large playing cards. I had a lot of fun with this one. Done with a deli print background, paint, charcoal, neo color II and probably a couple of other mixed media products. I love birds and am the queen of my realm! So this was just plain fun to do.

Bloom!
This piece was inspired by CeeCee at Creationsceecee, Sue Hiles at Shiles728MixedMediaSue and Cindy Utter. I watched all three of these versions created from CeeCee's original canvas done during #lovesummerart on YouTube. Then I put my own spin on the project. Everyone's is different.

30 paintings in 30 days
30 paintings in 30 days challenge with Gina Ahrens. I did ATC size watercolors using the various watercolor mediums I have. I labeled on the back of each one what I used so it can be referenced later. It was a fun challenge and I will probably continue to create more. It was a great way to experiment and see what kind of effects each of the different products created.

Wrap It Up December Daily YT hop and challenge
This is the final challenge for our December Daily's.
1. Use wrapping paper, paper bag or tissue paper
2. Use a bow
3. Make a tag and journal what this DD event has meant to you.
I chose to use wrapping paper, a brown bow from jute, and journaled on the back of a watercolor tag I did last Christmas but hadn't used since it was an extra. My journaling is private but I did include a picture of the back to show I had journaled. It tells how this event inspired me to make a book and document the time between 11/16/14 to 1/2/15. I haven't finished my book yet.

48 flash challenge 12/16/14 for December Daily
The challenge is to use sprays or paint and stencils. This snowman is my entry for the challenge.
1. stencils -The shape of the tree was created by using a wood tree as the stencil and painting dots around the stencil to get the shape. I also used Lindy's spray with a snowflake stencil in the sky background. It isn't easy to see in the picture but I can see it IRL. I also stenciled snowflakes using glitter paste.
2. Paint - I used paint in the background, the snowman and the tree.
3. Sprays - Lindy's sprays in luscious lime and Caribbean blue. These were used with stencils for the tree and the snowflakes in the background.
I also used washi tape, stamps, pearl pen, and glitter paste.

December Daily -Week 3 challenge
For this challenge I chose to do the following three things:
1. Make it pop -3D and use washi tape on the page.
I made this snow globe. I used packing to cut the base and paint. I used a copy of Santa from the children's book "Night before Christmas". Also a gold paint pen to edge it and a sticker for the base that says "Peace".
The 3D part is represented in the lid. I used a Pringles lid to make the rim of the globe. It is definitely 3D and it pops! It is very interactive. Inside there are Stampendous shaved ice flakes which are glittered flakes. They move all around as you tilt the page.
I also added some washi tape to frame the bottom of both pages.
2. Glitter and gold
This is a picture of the entire page. The globe is edged with gold paint pen and there are shaved ice flakes in the globe ( which are glittered flakes).
3. Winter Wonderland
I sprayed "snow spray" on the doilies on each page. I didn't think that it was wintery enough so I added embossing paste around the bottom of the tree and the edges of the doilies to make it more dimensional and look more like snow.
When I look at these two pages, I immediately think of a winter wonderland scene. Although we probably won't have a white Christmas, I can enjoy one in my DD.
