Art journal your inspiration back home!

Hello all!
    I've probably mentioned this before but whenever I feel that I have absolutely no creativity in me at all, I now reach for my little art journal and just sit and play!  There's no pressure to get it all perfect and no rules to follow - just paint, draw, stamp, ink, emboss or do them all together.  I find this really helps me stop stressing over any DT deadlines and I really enjoy playing with the messy stuff too!

                      I havn't been playing in some of my favourite challenges lately due to other non card projects - I'm a bit of a 'Craft Tramp' and will flit from one craft to another, leaving things unfinished when something else catches my eye.  However, I wanted to join in with the latest challenge over at the Stampotique Designers blog which is 'Tags' so I made a tag shape from watercolour paper and began to play.  I'm completely useless at listing the products used but they included Dylusions ink sprays, Faber Castell big brush artist pens, acrylic paints, rub-ons, dictionary paper, punched paper flowers and stars and of course, a Stampotique stamp - this one is called 'Fleur Belle' by Janet Klein.

Entering this into the challenges at Stampotique , Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge , The Crafters Cafe . Crafty Calendar and Creative Inspirations Paints.

Thanks for popping in today!
