Hi there! Today I have a couple of VERY different projects to share. The first one up, are two pages that I painted in an art journal which was inspired by a Donna Downey's Inspiration Wednesdays e-course.

This particular art journal measures 11" W x 14" H:

I painting my way so I am comfortable enough to paint a couple of 30" x 40" paintings for my home:

Next up, is a rather clean and simple card featuring a PTI stamp set from 2007 that has never seen an ink pad until now:

For both projects color inspiration, I joined along with the current ColourQ colour challenge:

For card sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge:

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great weekend!
Be Sweet ;)
