art journaling at its finest

Oh dear me, do you know Ania-Maria (or Anna-Maria) Wolniak and her art journaling pages? I'm so getting out my watercolor paint!
I discovered her talent in one of the Stampington magazines, I can't remember which one.
She's definitely awaken some jittery spark in me!!

More layouts

This layout is my lift of a page by Zarishka for Vinnie Pearce's challenge Lift This. I tried to re-create the shadows the same way to show the depth of Zarishka's layout but I'm not entirely satisfied with the results. Anyway, it was a beautiful page to lift.

Another fun challenge. According to this color test, my color is black. For the April Color Challenge at Mscraps, we were creating pages using mostly the color from the quiz. Again, our daughter Barbora ( she was 10) as a great subject, the picture is from boating on Lake Berryessa, 2001.

Lastly, a page ( at 2Peas in a Bucket) made with Vinnie Pearce's new kit Live Laugh Love. What a great motto! I played with the photo using Mulletgod's actions and I love the way it turned out. The picture for this page is - in my opinion - perfect. Imagine the whole crew screaming and barking!! Too much fun!!

(R) C23

A love Catherine Paturet's kits. Period. When she paired-up again with  Dawn Vander Stoep ( Createwings Designs) to re-create their kit collab C23, I didn't have to think twice.  I only used the C23 in one layout only but I want to do more! It makes me want to add vintage looking figures with wing and crowns or felt houses everywhere!!
