OMMM overload

HELLOoooooooo....
So I went off to the Dandelong ranges last weekend for an amazing retreat. Its my definite annual retreat and boy there were some amazing creatives there. I had no set idea of the type of work I was going to do so I took a bit of everything, Art Journal, Scrapbooking, Index cards. and I actually did a bit of everything. (its so hard to pack with only 23kgs of space in baggage allowance on the plane). anyway more pics in a later blog about the weekend and the creatives.
what i thought that i would do is share the index cards that I created from the Mood board and a couple none mood board ones whilst I was away..
so to refresh your memory,, the moodiversary mood board..

 so they aren't in any particular order. I have tried to load according to when I created them. but I probably got mixed up....  i was mostly inspired by the colours and textures throughout the board.

Our Mixed Media Moods, Moodiversary

Hello..
A little while ago I joined a facebook group called Our Mixed Media Moods to get some extra inspiration for creating .. well.. stuff.. and I absolutely love the group... every month there is a challenge mood board and the concept to make whatever you want mixed media inspired by that board. I have had so much fun with creating with no limits and its been absolutely amazing just to have some fun... This month marks the one year anniversary for OMMM. so DeeDee (insert BIG fan girl!!... )and Jenn are celebrating with a Moodiversary board that runs for the whole month with amazing prizes.. to me the prizes are just a bonus.. I mean check out this mother of a mood board...................... 

I bet you drooled as much as I did.. so I've decided to play along but without setting myself a list of must do it.. especially since art is my therapy and break away from university study, work and kids.. so I sat down and ran with it.. I did originally think that I would create something using the first photo as inspiration.. and I kind of did.... see below close up.. see the green layer part bit right at the almost very bottom of the layers (under the heart)....

see I was telling the truth.. and well then I just did my thing and ran with it.... I knew I wanted one of these people.. since I've been creating a few of them... (yep slack blogger award goes to ME... I'll do another post in a day or so. showing my art journal.. and the loving that I've been having with these peeps)...

 

and a little saying from 7 dots studio is a must for this little card type thingybobs..... I don't even know if they have a style/class or accepted name so thingybobs they are..

some Staples.. we love staples.. and LAYERS.. lots of layers. I'll put a list at the end of some of the awesomeness that went into this.... and then the moment you've been waiting for... the reveal........
