Time Flies!  That’s the theme of the first journal page of 2020 and it sure is true.  It’s another year of journaling, done and dusted. I am always appreciative of the tight rope we sometimes walk in life, juggling all that life has to offer.  This page reflects all of that and more. The background is done with blues and white, using a brayer.  You can use a palette knife, or card scraper if you don’t have a brayer.  Molding paste and metallic paints are added to the clock and letters. The vellum wings are exclusive to Treasured Memories and you will get a whole sheet to choose from.  I hope you’ll join me!

Bring basic supplies, including: Apron, Non-stick mat, Art Journal of your choice, Detail scissors, Tweezers, Paper towels, wet wipes, Brushes & water cup, Wet adhesive (Scotch, Nuovo, Art Glitter), Glue stick (UHU), Brayer, Palette knife or card scraper, Small script background stamp, Archival Black ink, Gesso, Soft Gel medium, Molding paste, Metallic paints (eg. Art Alchemy wax rubs, acrylics etc) (optional).

This project of creating a journal by printing on paper bags has been so much fun, and I want to share it with you! There is an endless variety of prints you can make to create unique pages, and then alter, stamp, stencil and decorate them to make journal pages. In this class you will pull prints onto the paper bags and select 20 of your favorites. The bags were stitched back to back on a sewing machine, but you can leave that step out if you wish. The journal will be a total of 10 pages in total. It is entirely possible you will not finish all the pages in class, but you will have everything you need to complete them at a later time. The bags are secured together using scor tape and a fabric binding added to complete the journal.

Bring with you basic monoprinting supplies, including: 5” x 7” Gel plate & brayer, Apron, table cover, Acrylic paints , Paper towels, wet wipes, Black Archival ink pad, Stamp Repositioner or stamping platform, Adhesives – wet glue, UHU glue stick, Paint pens (Posca, Pebeo) including white & black, Heat gun, Palette knife/card scraper, Variety of brushes & water cup, Scor tape – half inch or 5/8” wide, Paper trimmer, scissors, ruler, Stencils, mark making and/or texture tools, Variety of stamps & Art foamies (optional), Washi tape (optional), Gel prints from your stash, Sewing machine (optional).

The following items are provided: Paper bags, die cuts, watercolor paints, fabrics, tapes, images, stamps, stencils AND cake!

Don’t have a 5” x 7” gel plate? Contact Dooreen goldentiger@shaw.ca to purchase one in class ($15), or if you have any questions about the class.

Winter Wolf is the theme for the last journal page of the year!  You’ll be working with the lovely papers from Stamperia in the Cosmos line.  I used a sheet of the wolf rice paper for the focal point, and picked up the blues and purples in the paper using distress ink strategically placed in certain areas to enhance the design.  All that’s left to do is add a bunch of gold accents – gold pen work, gold mica flakes, and gold foil, and many tips for working with gold details.
