Learn Something New Every Day 3

Yes, it's been over a month since I posted my last teapot art journal page for Learn Something New Every Day (or as Farley and I had started calling it, Every Week. Perhaps we should change that to Every Month). The prompt for Day Three was to focus on Moving Forward in Life, using our own two feet. I decided this was the perfect prompt to use for a page about my bicycling pursuits. The pages were sprayed with Dylusions and Memory Mist allowing for some Drippage. I then stamped over them with black ink using a new-to-me Hero Arts bicycle stamp set. Not much going on but I figure done is better than not. Thanks for looking in.

Learn Something New Every Day 2

Day Two of my class. Moving along quite smartly, aren't I? For this assignment, we were to reflect on teachers in our life. I chose to discuss my photography instructor Rebecca Gregg at Sierra College. She taught me many things about photography and I am forever indebted to her for that. We have drifted apart but every day I think of her as I click the shutter. For this art journal page, I used Crushed Grape Dylusions spray as a base. Then my new favorite Camera stencil from Prima with Dreamweaver Matte Black embossing paste. Computer generated journaling and a few wood embellishments and it's done. I tried new supplies and a new stencil so I definitely learned something new. Thanks for looking. 

Learn Something New Every Day

Last September, Farley and I took a class from Shimelle called Learn Something New Every Day. I failed miserably at it with so much else going on that month and fully planned to eventually get back to it. The "every day" part of it is what I found overwhelming. So I am going to try to complete the class by learning something new every WEEK, still following Shimelle's thought-provoking prompts. This week's prompt was to talk about my latest Big Adventure. Which in my case was the first ever Beer Tasting Class on DH's birthday.

In addition, I decided to use the teapot shaped book which was one of our goodies from West Coast Scrap Scramp Camp. I have never attempted an altered book of any kind, much less one in the shape of a tea pot. So I'm not expecting much of myself. It is a learning experience and one I plan to hammer out if it takes me forever. 

I used so many different things on these pages that I've forgotten what they all are. I know I used matte medium and Dylusions sprays along with stamps (Club Scrap and others) and a Silhouette cut stencil and even a little bottlecap shape cut on my Cuttlebug. The journaling was computer-generated and cut into strips. Please be kind and thanks for looking.
