Hi there! It's time for a new sketch to play with at Once Upon A Sketch. This month, we ask you to include a number, ANY number, on your layout. It has to be VISIBLE and it can be in your title or part of your journalling. It can be a date, an age, a house number, an anniversary, the number of children you have, the number of pets .... anything you like. But please make sure that there is some explanation through your journalling, somewhere...

I was inspired by the current Collage...

So I pulled out lots of supplies including my smaller art journal and this is what I created: Before I could make her, I first created my own colorful paper: There...

Hi there! I have the day off from work with a little time to spare for crafting before I spend the day running necessary errands so I pulled out my neglected small 5" x 8" art journal and created a page. One of the things I find challenging about creating "mixed media" projects is the ability to let go of the preconceived notion that everything on my project needs to be just so. That is so untrue ~ it's ok that everything doesn't line up perfectly...
