What is The 100 Day Project? The idea is to do something creative every day for 100 days and to post it publicly on Instagram.  The 100 Day Project was started many years ago by Michael Bierut.  Later, it was organized by Ella Luna, and now it's run by Lindsay Jean Thomson. What's my connection? I enjoy the challenge and the ‘push' to consistently create each day!  This is my fourth year participating in The 100 Day Project.  It's a lot, but I always feel great when I complete it. And if you fall behind, that's okay… you can catch up and finish when you're ready. In t ..read more

Art Journaling with Dylusions Ink Sprays Hi, there!  Popping in today with an art journal project I made this week with Dylusions Ink Sprays. This journal is a square shape, so kind of awkward and long when used for a 2-page spread. I used  Dylusions Ink Sprays, stamps, stencils, paint, ink, chipboard, paper, and die-cuts in it. Dylusions Ink Sprays are one of my favorite mediums to play with, since the colors blend so beautifully.  You'll find lots of other Dylusions art journal spreads on my site here. This rich purple and blue color blend seemed to call out for a metallic c ..read more
