Tiddly inks challenge 65- special 2 week Art Journalling challenge.

Image- Aida from Tiddly inks.
Paper- Key paper ( retired freebie from Christy)

Morning Peeps!!

Its that Tiddly time of week again and so its time for a new challenge over on the Tiddly inks challenge blog.
And this week it is a super one, we want you to join us over the next two weeks with a special journal page---or project (featuring a Tiddly Inks image, hopefully). We thought the extended time would be helpful if art journaling is new to you.

And for me, art journalling was totally new(....yup.....I panicked totally when I got the email for this challenge from our Christy!!!!) so after much scouring of google ( don't worry, Christy has found some excellent linkies over on the challenge blog for you to peeky at!!) I took the plunge and decided to do a page on my utter confusion of where to start!!!!

Aida represents a very confounded Lou and the string is my loopy mind trying to work out where to go!! lol!!! anyhoo a bit of scrunching up paper, distressing and heat embossing copper powder and I was a bit happier about my new learning curve!!! and I can happily report I am busy with page 2 already!! yey lou!!!!

Well, thats me for today then!!! I am going to take little Mo to school ad then pop in on my mum, then its home for some crafty goodness!!!!

Huge hugs
Lou xxxxx

    How do you do it, you tried something totally new, yet still maintained a Lou-escness to your project. That is meant as a compliment.

    I too had to do some reading up on what "art journaling" was. I had no clue. Not having inkers or sprayers I went the doodle method. It was freeing for me for once not to have a real plan and just letting it happen.

    I can't wait to see your second page. I know I want to try more too. I have so many more ideas in my head now. :D

    Glad you got your card, can't believe it took that long. I sent it off straight away.

    Hihihi Lou I also paniced when I got the email from Christy, but I have to admit I actually enjoyed making my card. Your page is gorgeous Lou. I love that it represents you, I smiled when I read the sentiment. LOL

    Hugs,
    Larissa
