Hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I've been shopping with some gift cards at Michaels and Joanns. It's been fun getting a few things I've been wanting....for example I got a brayer. I just used it on the clipboard pictures posted today, boy do I wish I would have gotten one so sooner. It works so much better than the pampered chef roller I've been using!

I'm currently working on getting some things together for a class I'm teaching at a Woman's retreat. I'm really excited it's a great opportunity for me!! What could be better than crafting with your bff and teaching ladies some of what I've learned? Answer is not much....lol I'll be teaching them about art/visual journaling and how they can incorporate it into their lives. My goal is to show them you don't have to be an artist to do it and there are so many different things you can do to match your skill and or comfort level.  I want everyone to have fun!

I mentioned my clipboard here are some pictures. This was so easy I just started with a plain clipboard which was purchased at my local dollar store. I covered it with patten paper and Collage Podge (two of my fav things!) I then used my brayer with a two colors. After that was dry I used some Golden Airbrush white paint at the top sprayed with water for a drippage look. Over that I used paper, paint, stencils, stickers, washi tape and stamps.  I now have a cute clipboard to use it's a great place for those to do & shopping lists. It's going shopping with me from now on!
