One of the things I wanted to do while art journaling in my Illustrated Faith Bible is to try different techniques than what I normally do. Now as a former scrapbooker I have a ton of letter stickers and other scrapbook embellishments so I thought, gee, I should really use some of those instead of always doing mixed media.  So here's my first, albeit rusty, attempt.  

Lately the theme of God's steadfast love keeps poping up all over the place for me, so while I love the theme of this one, the outcome is just...how shall I say it...boring?!

 These stickers I picked up at the craft store and I just cut them up to fit my needs. 

 Once I had the word stickers in place I added some other leftover stickers.

And a touch of lace transparency.

And here's the finished result.  I'm not in love with the look of it, since it doesn't really feel like "me," but I will admit that it was MUCH faster!!

Here's another page I did recently.  I doodled the sheep in the margin and found another one of those word stickers to use.

I ended up painting a bit before I actually stuck it down.

And here's the finished page.  I'm liking this one a bit more even if it's not my usual abstract look.

So, what techniques are you trying that are stretching your creative side?
