A trio of Poppies 21

Hi! There's a lot of exciting things going on in the paper crafting world! In case you missed it, Prima started revealing their CHA Winter 2016 Sneak Peeks! Please be sure to visit the Prima blog and take a look at what new Prima products will be coming your way in the new year! Also, please be sure to stop by the More Than Words Challenge blog to see how you may be able to win some amazing prizes!

I've been practicing painting flowers in my art journal. I used acrylic paints to paint this page but next time, I'm going to give oil paints a try. I'm practicing brush strokes and different techniques in hopes of painting a couple of pieces that I can hang in my home.

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a wonderful day!
Be sweet :)
