I recently made a fun junk journal out of junk mail that was destined for the trash. In this video you can see how I added some color to all those fun junky pages! Here are some of the products I used: White Gesso Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Paint in raw sienna applied with an old gift card Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Paint in primary magenta, diluted and brushed on as a wash Homemade spray ink in some kind of blue  Something sort of purple, may have been another homemade ink Oil or wax pastels or crayons (I'm not exactly sure) from a kids art kit Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits and an old rag

These gorgeous papers are the impressive result of not very much effort! All you need is some Citra Solv Cleaner/Degreaser and a National Geographic magazine. Check out these awesome results:  

My first project for the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew is this 4 x 4 canvas that we were asked to decorate in a way that reflects our personal style. My style is lots of layers but not a lot of dimension or "fluff" so I chose to create depth by making gel medium decals from paper pad pages and images. The transparent decals were layered over the canvas which had been randomly painted with a variety of Tattered Angels paints.

Christmas is over but I've just started making my list and checking it twice for the Spring Inspiration Conspiracy Video Hop! Inspiration Conspiracy is a mentoring program I started where 3 or 4 large or more established YouTube channels get together with 9 small channels and we have a video hop. Our viewers are treated to 13 10-minute process videos where they can see projects being made by some of their favorite creative YouTubers as well as some new channels they might not be familiar with. This creates a lot of new traffic and exposure for the small YouTube channels, giving them a little help to establish a viewership. Since the hop is designed in a way that makes it easy to hop from one channel to the next during one viewing session, it increases our watch time which is a huge benefit for the larger channels. I love it when everybody wins! I frequently get asked how a channel can participate in an Inspiration Conspiracy event. The bad news is that it is by invitation only. But...

I will use the categories below to fill my journal with items from my collection that I'm hoarding but not using. Then I will use it as a guide to keep an eye out for more potential journal fodder as the year progresses. I started with 2 2015 Oklahoma travel guide books Some pages got a little gesso, others were collaged with wax paper scraps. This page is for #32, washi tape Blue things go on this page for category #50 A random art journal page for no reason Postage stamps, category #17 Watch my YouTube video for a more in depth explanation: Dow...
