Digi Playtime with Carolyn Phillips

Today I wanted to share a piece one of my design team members, Carolyn Phillips, created this past summer.

Carolyn created this digital page using the art journal collection I created for Independence Day.  I think it's highly creative because she lives in Great Britain and well...you know the story...anyway, I LOVE this piece!  She used a vintage image of Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and one of my favorite Bible verses in her creation.  You can see her entire blog post here.  Carolyn is definitely a mixed media artist as she is so talented and works in so many different mediums!  I admire her courage in just diving in and trying something new; she does beautiful fiber art including felting, and recently has been doing a lot of encaustic work which is just lovely!

The art journal collection she used can be purchased here in my Etsy shop.  All my pieces are printer-friendly, which means they're all designed for 8.5 x 11 inch paper.  My digital art journals can be used as is, or as backgrounds for your own creations!

More JustBYourself Loveliness by Bernice Hopper I have the most amazing design team ever...and I have some visual loveliness to show you today! Bernice Hopper is hosting an "Attitude of Gratitude" challenge this month, and she created a handmade journal using one of my printable art journals...it's way too amazing to do it justice on my blog, but follow this link to her blog, Newly Creative, and read all about it...she provides step-by-step photos. I'm not kidding...you need to check this out. Page after page of sheer loveliness... These pages are part of an abstract printable art journal available in my Etsy shop here: This is the set that Bernice used: Also, this week is the grand opening of my Etsy shop...I've been wanting to do this since I reopened my shop the first of June but I told myself I will not do it until I have built my inventory...I've added a lot of printable art journals, ATCs, and Stash Builders. Stash Builders are sets of 20 or 24 sheets from my signature color schemes...brights, shades, and tints, that can be used as backgrounds for your visual journaling, ATCs, greeting cards, scrapbooking, etc. All the pages are 8.5 x 11 inches, so you can print them out using your own home printer. And, most of my product is commercial use as long as you make something with the pages...no digital product or collage sheets. The Grand Opening promotion is 40% off with the coupon code go40s. The code must be entered before submitting the order. There is a minimum $10 purchase (with coupon the final total will be $6). My Etsy shop is here: As always, thank you SO much for stopping by! Hugs and toodles!
