Here's a quick card I made...
I used up a few odds and ends I've had laying around. Love doing that.
Here's the video of how I created it...enjoy!

So, my trip to surprise my niece for her birthday was awesome!! She was totally surprised & didn't quite understand what was going on at first, she thought it was a coincidence that I just happened to be at the airport when they were. It was a priceless moment!
And of course the first thing we did together was break out the paints!
And here's how our finished painting turned out....

I feel super brave right now. I not only painted a face, but I painted MY face! Scary!!
I was inspired to do these pages after watching Tracy Verdugo's workshop at 21 Secrets. I'm having so much fun with those workshops! (There's still time to join us over there too if you've been on the fence...it's VERY reasonably priced too, check it out HERE.)
I thought it was pretty cool to include a ton of my thumb prints too. They were all made using only 3 colors of paint + black and white. Fun!
In other news, I'm SUPER excited to be flying out to surprise my oldest niece on her birthday tomorrow morning!! Woo-hoo, I feel like it's Christmas Eve!!

Quick, someone give me a gold star!
I actually finished my art journal swap pages before they were due!!
Hooray!!!
I'm having so much fun with this swap! If you missed my swap page for April, you can go check that out. And you can see ones other's have made by searching the hashtag "#FJSWAP" on Instagram. (Oh, and you can follow me on Instagram here too if you so desire.)
Also, you know how I love making digi-scrapbooks? Well, I had the opportunity to test out the Mosaic app (download it here) and I made a quick video about my experience. Let me tell you, I've made a few books with other manufactures, and this is by far the easiest & quickest to do!
Now I will say that if you're an avid digi-scrapper and are computer savvy this may not be the app you are looking for to make a detailed photo book. It's more for the "I have all these photos, I want to make into a quick book, and I only have 5 minuets to do it" type of person. Yes, it's that easy!
Oh, and did I mention I got it in 3 days? Yeah, they're quick!!
And sorry Droid users, so far they only have an Apple app. :(

Confession time. I haven't painted a face as my main subject in over a year. My last face was this one:
I have no idea why I stopped, I really like to paint them. I was thinking that I really need to get back into it again...and then I saw that Andrea was teaching an online workshop "FACEcinating Girls" so I took the plunge and signed up. I always like to learn new ways of doing things and I really like Andrea's style. She also encouraged us to start out using pencils, which isn't a medium I use often, so that's been good to get me out of my rut.
Here's the faces I did week 1...
I can't wait to get started on week 2! This is such a fun class!! -And no, I haven't been paid to say that or given any freebies. :)
