Open 24/7

I loved everything about the Artful Voyage to Mexico cruise, but one of the things I REALLY enjoyed was the Art Studio that was available to us 24/7!

This is what the studio looked like one of the mornings that I woke up early wanting to create. It was 3:30. Yes, you read correctly - 3:30 in the morning. This was like Heaven to a "morning person"!!

Tim even brought along supplies for us to use in the studio. Stamps, inks, paints, etc. . . .

I brought along my collaged vintage suitcase packed with a few goodies of my own . . .

After working on the grungeboard journal some more, I decided to create another journal using the remaining papers.

I had a 7 Gypsies book cover & back I had packed in my little suitcase that was just perfect for an additional journal.

Here are some of the pages of my early morning journal. To get a closer look at the pages, just left click on each photo:

The star that I used as a "tab" was faux rusted (at home) and in the 24/7 studio I added a little "bling" with some (yep, you know!) Platinum Stickles Glitter Glue *smiles*



Faux rusted grungeboard heart and wings - blinged out with some you-know-what

another piece of faux rusted grunge I had packed

This is a grungepaper flower I made in one of Wendy's workshops. I covered the flower with some of the new Clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint. I just LOVE this stuff!!! I MUST pick some more of this up at the RSC next month.
