I was watching Letters to Juliet recently and loved being transported to Italy. Part of my journey took me beyond Verona to the hills of Tuscany, speckled with rows of trees that hold down the horizon. I had to cut new shapes – stencils and stamps – so I could investigate how to incorporate the trees in my work. Here is some of the debris from my table left behind after painting a few new pieces for an article…

It's been a while since I've posted Ruby Tuesday journal pages. I still work on them….sometimes working out ideas for art, and sometimes just collecting debris from my studio table and even the kitchen counter. These spreads are to support the latest crusade, No. 60 ~ I HEART (fill in the blank). You know I love stencils and masks. I sometimes forget you can simply use them with pens or pencils (right)…not always necessary to get them wet. However, when you do use paint be sure to flip over for a monoprint (left).
And after much taste-testing I'm finding that I really <3 Dark Magic….no, not the sinister kind, the K-cup kind. There are others I do enjoy, but this one is my favorite this week so it went in my journal. That's why we do pages like this…so we can recall and reflect on things we love/loved.

If you click on over to the Street Team blog you'll see I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions but take the turn of the calendar as time to reflect on past accomplishments. I find it rewarding and motivating. I have posted a To-Do/Ta-Da list for you to print and use over on the Street Team. If you've been wanting to get things going in your journal come over and play with us. Eleven days to go….that means two weekends still left!
One of my Ta-Das for 2011 was to propose 42 stencil designs to Stencil Girl Products. Two more have been released! I had submitted the borders as 12" but Mary Beth and John launched them as 6" and they are so cute! Perfect for an edge of a card, or a small journal page. I've been playing with them – will show you soon.

Back to the Table Scraps Journal…..
Thanks again for all the terrific feedback about the new stencils. I'm such of a fan of Mary Beth's, and it is a thrill to be on her design team for Stencil Girl Products. Your enthusiasm has made it even more fun! I can't wait for you to see the rest of the collection 🙂
The new Somerset Studio is on the shelves – lots of great stuff inside….
And Crusade No. 55 is posted on my Street Team site…..come play along!

Have a great Labor Day! School starts Wednesday….bums me out to have the kids gone during the day 🙁
