Always Believe - Mixed Media Album

Are you ready for another page from my mixed media album? Well here it is. These are the center pages of the album. I love this quote "Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen." It reminds me to always think positive, you just never know what is around the corner!

Lots of color and texture on this page. I created the texture by using tissue paper and mod podge as well as some molding paste.

The girl was inspired by Christy Tomlinson. The colorful layers in her skirt make me happy!!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!

Live Your Life - Mixed Media Album

I am making this album for my daughter who is graduating from high school. Each page contains a positive life message that I hope will encourage her as she moves into this new phase of her life.

I love how this page turned out, with so much color and texture. I used Gelatos and Heidi Swapp's color shine to drench this page with color. To create the texture I used Golden's molding paste and a stencil by Crafters Workshop.

I'm loving this heart with all of its layers and torn up goodness.

I hope I have inspired you today, to get messy and create something beautiful!
