Hello scrappy friends! Kelly here with a new art party video for you.

The main inspiration for this page was a scrapbook process video that I saw from Tuesdae Hubbard (check her out if you have’t already). The colors in the inspiration piece guided me to use the Dear Lizzy – Neapolitan 12×12 paper pad for this journaling page. Although the pastels in the collection are a bit more muted compared to the inspiration piece this week, it still reminded me of this collection that had been just sitting waiting to be used. I cut some of the floral paper into a doily using a cut file from the Silhouette store. The polaroids are from one of the cut-a-part sheets in the collection and the star, scooter, and camera as well. For the Love Love and Sweet Sunshine I punched both of those out with my scallop punch. I ended up putting quite a bit of gesso on the layout and I really think I went a little too overboard. I think it pushed everything too far into the background and muted too much. But really, that is what I like about playing with mixed media. You are always learning new things and the more you play the better you get and if you’re lucky you may just stumble over a happy accident.

You can watch my process video below and if you’d like to see more from me you can find my channel here.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!!
