Hello Oddballs!

Are you ready to have some fun??!  This Reversible Mini Art Journal was super fun and easy to make and I must say......turned out sooooooo cute,  I am super excited about it;  and hope you are as excited as I am....

I used 2 brand new stamps that I created for a creepy cute take on Easter, they were  released in the Oddball Etsy Shop yesterday,  but you could use any stamp(s) you want for your journal using the template in my last tutorial to design your front and back covers in photoshop before you print & paint.  

Simply download the zip file containing the template (includes a free digi stamp) if you haven't yet downloaded it.  The template is a .psd file which is a photoshop file and it contains layers.   The layers are labeled so you know where to place your digital image and then which layer to delete the borders before you print, When you place your stamp image you will want to keep it inside the border as anything printed outside of the border will be folded over the cardboard and covered up with glue and the inside pages.  Once you are happy with your front and back covers, save and print to size 6" x 6" art paper.

I hope you have fun making your own Reversible Mini Art Journal and I can't wait to see it if you do!!!  
I would love you to share your makes in the Oddball Art Stamps FB Group and if you're chosen by random.org as our monthly Facebook Challenge winner and you've created a project using 1 of the techniques from a previous month you will get to pick an extra digi stamp! So that means you will get to choose 4 stamps instead of 3!!!!!   (This Tutorial is a March Technique even though the blog isn't getting posted til April 1.)

Did you catch DT Pennies Technique from last week?

Getting sick sucks, but getting sick, like really really sick in the summer is really the pits!  After spending almost a week and a half in bed with the worst summer flu I've ever had it was so so nice to get back in my studio painting again!

So I broke out my twinkling H2O's  and a couple of ACEO's I had already precut up ages ago from 98lb cold press watercolor paper,  and painted these 2 little cards.  The second one down I used a rubber stamp from the Whimsy Stamps Lizzy Love Collection, her name is Maggie and you can purchase her to use in your own creations HERE!
