Art Journal Fun

So I have been watching these videos on messy fun called Sundays with Sandee over at Frosted Designs.  Every Sunday I sit down and watch her videos and then go to my scrap room and do a page in my art journal.  It isn't scrapping but it gets me thinking outside the box and I get to play with all the paint, mists, water brushes, watercolor crayons, etc, etc, that I don't really use on my scrapbook pages.  For some reason I really have fun getting messy and creative in my art journal but still like my scrapbook layouts somewhat clean and linear (yes, I rather enjoy using my ruler, ha ha)  

Anyhow, with all that said, here is my page from this Sunday's video:

Polka Dots and Selfies

This first layout I did because of a challenge over at Frosted Designs to use polka dots.  I used them four ways!! Big polka dot patterned paper, polka dot chevron paper, stamped some polka dots on the scalloped borders and used a polka dot ribbon!!  NAILED IT, lol

This next one is a two pager of our Daughter Steffanie and all the "selfies" she took and updated her profile picture on facebook.  Everytime she updated her picture I downloaded and printed it.  (Hey Mom, I think this is the same SEI paper pack you used for you office layout)

First Layout Share of 2014

Yep, it's already almost the end of January and I am just now updating my blog for the first time in 2014.  Hopefully it won't be so long until my next update.  Got three layouts done although in all honesty two of them were completed at the end of last year.  So far I have completed 1 layout this year.  :(  Oh well, at least I am back in my scrap room and on a roll!!!
