Amazing

Hi everyone, Nancy here today to share with you a project that may look a little familiar.  I am always amazed at how, even if you give designers the same exact products, you get such a variety of results.   A few weeks ago Dana shared with you her Joy Mixed Media art journal she made with Anna Dabrowska.  I also took that class and wanted to share mine.

This was a class that many LSS all over the country, and the techniques and materials were the same regardless of where you took it.

Here is Dana's cover....
Gorgeous!

And here is mine.....



Both covers used the same Mixed Media Canvas covers that you can buy right here in the Your Memories Here store as well as lots of yummy buttons, trinkets, laces and flowers from Prima.  I went a little more heavy handed with the grunge (Anna convinced me not to be so delicate) but you can see that the idea is the same.

And a few inside pages....
And mine...
Same technique, same items for embellishment...but this time Dana has the more grungy look.  And of course, she actually has added a photo.  lol

Another, Dana....
And mine...

I know I had a ton of fun creating this art journal, and look forward to working on it more in the near future.  At least finishing the pages I have started.  LOL

You should try one too.  You can find the gorgeous album cover and inside pages at the YMH store, and plenty of embellishments and papers as well.

Hugs.

Nancy
