Hello All,
As usual I am running behind today. I see a lot of other bloggers writing about time saving tips and ways to de-clutter and simplify life and I know I am not alone in this feeling of too much to do and too little time to do it.
Recently I have spent some time cleaning out cupboards and closets and it does feel good to clear out some things. But I have been thinking a lot lately about my digital clutter and how to get a handle on it. I spent this morning unsubscribing to several sites and I am hopeful that this will kick start a plan to take more control over my tech life.
All too often I sit down at my computer to do A and hours later find that I haven't even started working on it? It's not as if I am completely wasting my time but it is sometimes an out of control spiral of link following craziness.
Anyway I haven't made any specific plan as of yet but I will be contemplating how to de-clutter my digital life and may write about it if I have any revelations. If you have any tips or suggestions for me I would love to hear about them in the comments.
Onward.....
For today's project I have mostly just pictures and a link you must check out if you like to do your own art journals. I am totally addicted to this woman's video's. Her name is Vicky Papaioannou. I used a lot of her techniques on my art journal page. Of course since I am all about upcycling and using what you have on hand I didn't use any fancy stamps or distress paints or pre-cut shapes or even actual gel medium or for that matter an actual sketch book. :-)
Here is my supply list.
Old Book
Tissue Paper
Cereal Box
One of my alcohol ink prints from last weeks post
White Glue
Scrap Paper
Acrylic Paint
Colored Markers
Paint Brush
Scissors
Exacto Knife
Polycrylic (I love this stuff. I have used it on shoes here. Paper jewelry here. I used it as the top coat of my journal page to and a shiny water proof finish.)
And a few other little decorative kabobbles.
I used all those items
To make this......
Into this.......
Happy Upcycling.
