Here's what I made for today. I used Movie Gala Betty and the Red Carpet Background.

As you can see, I made an art journal page. When I first saw Movie Gala Betty, she reminded me of Angelina Jolie, that one year for (I think it was) the Oscars, when she had on those beautiful Emerald earrings? Those earrings were stunning and Angelina looked amazing. 

So that's why I chose that color for the earrings. And she just seemed like she needed to be in red. But I didn't want her to clash with the carpet (I only have a few reds), so I decided to keep the rest of the background in gray scale, for the most part. I used my watercolor markers and my Copics for this art journal page.

Around the edge of the page I wrote, "Wouldn't it be fun to be a Hollywood starlet? Even if it were just for one night? To be dolled up and beautiful? For everyone to wish they were you? To be pampered and photographed? Just for one night?" I don't know about you, but I have certainly daydreamed about this! 

So? Are you excited about this collaboration? I know I am!!! And there's a ton more to see! Today's full hop list is below. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Absolutely brilliant art journal page, Alison. I loved how you gave Movie Gala Betty the emerald earrings, with that gorgeously colored dress, and kept the background image grey. Yes, it would be amazing to be a starlet like that, even for one evening. Great work, take care, and can't wait for tomorrow's previews! Dianne

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
