Lockdown Journal and Days 5, 6, & 7 of the 100 Day Challenge

 The 100 day Challenge is a bit of a mash up for me right now. The idea is to work in this journal every day.
This butterfly page was done after I finished the postcards using all of the same elements. Then I wrote a journal entry in the decorated tri fold.

 I collaged up several ATC sized cards using elements from the paper pad...

 ...and turned a few in to tuck spots.

 I hand painted coffee beans onto some coffee dyed and avocado dyed index cards .

This is coming along quite nicely.

Collage Postcards

I spent the entire day yesterday in my art bubble collaging a bunch of painty papers and making some mixed media postcards.

 I love how these came out.

 I'll be sending them to my family...

...who wonder what I do all day:-)

Lockdown Day ??? and the 100 Day Challenge

 I'm still working so I'm not in complete lockdown like the rest of my family and with a few exceptions, my life is not all that different.
The coffee and creativity happens at home rather than in my cafe around the corner though I still get my coffee there in the morning.

 I finished assembling a new journal this morning. I had no intention of this becoming a Lockdown journal when I started it.

 It's mostly a writing journal with a bit of a coffee theme. I've been sitting on this paper pack I got on sale at Michael's back in January. I never know how to use these pads as they're so one dimensional.

 I like to make signature covers with them but then I' m stuck.

 So I guess the first challenge is to Anti-scrapbook the thang.

 There's a lot of coffee/ avocado/food coloring tinted papers and my favorite journaling spots...index cards.

I'm a small space journaler so these full pages are a bit intimidating but all of the crazy stuff going on right now needs a outlet especially since I'm challenged by having to make my way to work 5 days a week...on very limited public transportation and I still gotta make art.

Stay tuned.
