Yes good things are a happening this week! It's a week filled with creative inspiration and lots of fun projects! STAEDTLER and Stampendous have teamed up to share some cool projects, supplies and prizes this week and I'm excited to share one of my projects with you today!
I've been dabbling a bit into the world of mixed media lately and I wanted to create a sort of exploratory journal to keep where I try some techniques I'm learning as well and paint and play a little bit. It's always fun to try new things and just let go! For my little journal I've splattered, painted and stamped using one of Stampendous Impression's gorgeous stamps!
Each of the STAEDTLER design team members will be giving away a very special prize package, our “Sweet Summer” Giveaway to one lucky blog reader at the end of the week!! To be eligible to win, please leave a comment on this blog post by midnight friday. A winner will be selected randomly and I will post the winner here on my blog on Wednesday, May 29th!

I gasped when I clicked on your blog! This journal makes me want to escape to another time and place in a beautiful little cottage with pretty flowers growing everywhere outside in pinks and peaches and soft yellows. Ivories, folds and pinks inside to decorate with. Can you picture it! I sure can! Thank you for this inspiring post and fabulous use of color and textures! I have the Stampendous large flower stamps but never thought to use them in such a soft subdued manner. I need to get some of those gorgeous Staedtler paints and try my hand at a journal "Angel Style". :)
