This month’s grab bag has so many great pieces, including vintage envelopes, torn hearts, and the cutest art doll. I sized and printed out an envelope back and front, the art doll Mara and three torn hearts.
Prepared a background: “credit card” scraped acrylic paint (Golden® Heavy Body Acrylic Teal) over the page. Stenciled a strip of circles down middle of page (Golden® Heavy Body Acrylic Hansa Yellow Medium).
Cut out and/or tore out the printed elements. Glued the bits and pieces onto the page. Printed “I feel loved” on the hearts.
The March Grab Bag is now available as separate kits Tangie Bundle 19 & Rebecca Bundle 19,

There’s still time for you to participate in the monthly challenge over at the Art Journal Emporium. All you have to do is use one of the ideas below, create and upload your digital or mixed media entry by February 29, 2016. If you participate in the monthly challenge you could be one of two winners chosen at random – each prize is a $5.00 coupon to Tangie Baxter & Co. Woo Hoo!
February’s challenge is to use at least one of the following ideas:
-
Use the Following Quote:
“Whoever Loves much, performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.”– Vincent Van Gogh
-
Your extra Day! What will you do with your Leap Year day this year?
Create an art journal page (or project) with your ideas.
-
Figment
Create a scene or art journal page with a "figment" of your imagination. It could be something fun like (Tangie's) "whale with wings" that came in the grab bag or it could be something you want to work on in your life. Are you dealing with something that you know is a "figment" in your mind that you are trying to overcome? Make this page as deeply profound or as your courage calls you to do, or as lighthearted as your imagination can dream up.
Simple isn’t it?
To give you an idea of what you could do, here is my “Figment.”
All elements were included in the February Grab Bag, now available as separate kits:
Tangie Bundle No.18, Rebecca Bundle No. 18
Get those creative juices flowing, you could win a super prize! Come and join the fun!

Hello lovelies. It’s beginning to feel like spring in my little part of the world. The days have gotten warmer, robin’s have suddenly appeared and the birds have begun to sing. Spring surely seems to be heading this way. Susan here with another week of Art Journal Emporium goodness.
First up is a wonderful page by Sian. Love the colors and quote.
Sian’s Credits: February’s TB&CO Grab Bag #18 along with Quickity Split's Workshop collection.
Our next bit of goodness is by Rese. Lover her mixed media creation using paint, vintage papers and fabric scraps.
Rese's Credits: AJC January Itinerary No. 3 & 4, water colors, vintage papers and fabric scraps.
Next is Catherine’s super quirky page. I just adore her gal made from scribbles.
Catherine’s Credits: AJC January Itinerary No. No. 4 and Neo Color II’s.
William is closing out this week’s highlights with a colorful fun page. I love his “wild” man.
William’s Credits: February’s TB&CO Grab Bag #18 along with February AJE 2016 Collage sheets (part of the AJE February Goodies, available at TB&CO as a Collage Sheet Workshop in March).
Many Thanks to Sian, Rese, Catherine and William for sharing their amazing creations with us at the Art Journal Emporium. Don’t forget to leave them some love!

The monthly Grab Bag is an eclectic collection in harmonizing colors that includes an assortment of ephemera from Tangie Baxter, an art doll plus oodles more from Rebecca McMeen and stunningly designed papers. The pieces of this collection can be used in both digital and mixed media formats. TB&CO Grab Bag #18 {February 2016} is only available for a limited time and is priced on a sliding scale, so act fast for the best deal!
Following are some examples of the creative things you can do with the bits and pieces included in the TB&CO Grab Bag #18 {February 2016}.
The first digital example “Illusions” illustrates a simple use of a background page and a couple of pieces of ephemera that can be quickly put together and look like you spent all day designing.
Only 4 layers: Rebecca_Illy_Paper 1, Rebecca_Illy_Vintagebirdvignette2, Tangie_Figment_Sketches3, And Rebecca_Illy_Illusions
The next digital example ”Imagine” mimics the Glue Book (a type of journal created by gluing down on a page whatever paper inspiration falls into your hands).
14 layers placed so that the page is fully covered with some overlapping: Rebecca_Illy_Papers 1-6, Tangie_Figment_Paper11, Tangie_Figment_Ephemera14, Tangie_Figment_Tornpapers4, Tangie_Figment_Splatter_Newsprint3, Tangie_Figment_Wordart3, Tangie_Figment_Washi2-3, Rebecca_Illy_Circles5.
The next digital example “Figment” is complex using lots of layers (like mixed media), blending and placing so that the end result is pleasing. Then creating a unique art doll using elements from Rebecca’s Illy collection.
Art doll created using Rebecca_Illy head, dress, arms and the butterly for wings on the art doll. Layered Tangie_Figment ephemera, washi, paint splatter, swirly and word art on Tangie_Figment_Paper Also used a Gesso overlay layer from Tangie_QuickitySplitsWorshop to unify the page. Placed the art doll and shadowed.
I hope you enjoy these examples and are inspired to acquire the monthly Grab Bag to design your own unique art.
BTW - over in the Art Journal Emporium you can participate in monthly Grab Bag challenges. There are two winners every month. Just upload your digital or mixed-media entry by the end of the month.
