So... as you have probably guessed, I am still gone.. "out for art" a I posted monday.. but I AM heading home today! Feeling nice and rested.. and ready to get back to work and family and you!!
BUT since I know I will need a day to recover.. I thought I would take this opportunity to do a post about my upcoming workshop..
She Had 3 Hearts : Art Journaling Workshop!
This is an art journaling workshop.. which means alot of FREE form art.. and a lot of people have been emailing me with questions.. so I thought I would answer them here! PLUS I made a fun little video for you.. just a peak into me playing around in my own ART journal.. maybe to get you excited just a bit! Here is a peak.. and the video is below!
So first off the questions..
*************************************************************************
Question one: What is Art journaling..
I love this question! An art journal is kinda like a regular journal.. expressing yourself and your thoughts and your feelings.. except its all done through ART! The great thing about art journals is you don't HAVE to journal (meaning you don't have to write).. if you don't want to.. you can just express your feelings through paint and pictures and collage. It TRULY is a wonderful free form of art! As you can see from the picture above.. mine DOES include journaling.. but it doesn't have to. It can also include pictures and memorabilia and snippits of your life.. (this particular page above doesn't).. but i can. And you will see in this class how we incorporate those into it! There truly are NO rules!
Question two: How much cross over is there between the She Had three Hearts workshop and the 3 Hearts workshop?
Honestly? While there are some certain technqiues that I do love to use no matter WHAT I am creating.. (like stamping, or using stencils).. I introduce you to a WHOLE lot more.. when it comes to technique and texture and creativity!I I show you brand new ways to use your stencils and stamps.. PLUS introduce you to new products like pan pastels, oil stick paints, chalks, watercolor pencils.. and more! Ohh lala.. we get messy and it is addicting! We actually don't even create any "She Art" girls in this class.. (well I won't say not ANY as you can do what YOU want to create).. but that is not the focus of this class. This class is all about finding those hearts you have to share.. and why you may feel inclined only to share some of those hearts with yourself.. while other hearts you have .. you share with the entire world! It's about exploring who YOU are.. and creating art in the process!
Question three: How long will the classroom be open?
Just like the She Art Workshop.. you will have an ENTIRE 3 MONTHS to watch the videos, learn the techniques.. discover you-self! Plenty of time to really truly.. get messy and have fun. Remember! If you take BOTH classes.. you get a special $5.00 coupon good for our store.. so when you sign up for the 3 Hearts wworkshop.. make sure you let me know!
***************************************************************
So there you have it! If you have any more questions.. please feel free to email me! This class starts May 23rd!!!AND if you sign up before May 2nd.. you get the special price of $35.00.. after May 2nd.. the price goes up to the regular price of $44.95.. so sign up today! only a couple weeks left for the discounted price!
Okay.. so how about an art video?
this was just me.. messing around in my garage one night.. playing with all the new "things" we are bringing into the store (AND YES.. we are bringing Pan Pastels, Wax Crayons, Artist Painsticks, Faber Castell Watercolors, Lots of differ nt kinds of Art journals, Inktense Water Color BLocks, Dr. Martin Inks and more!).. should have all of those listed by the first part of next week! As well as a full supply list for this class! wahoo!
This is just a SUPER small peak into the class.. I didn't want to give a ton away.. so I only used one of my new products.. and no new "fancy" techniques..(gotta save something for the classroom! lol) but still fun!
Thanks for letting me share!
AND if you haven't signed up yet for the 3 Hearts Journaling Workshop.. DO!
you can read all about it here!

Hi, Christy! I'm just wondering, can I still sign up for the She Art workshop? I saw what Angie from Scrapscene did, and I fell in love with it, but I guess I'm a little late... or am I? Can you please let me know? thanks!
