Hello, there all my fellow crafty beauties! Welcome back to the blog. I hope to inspire you today to join us at the Academy of Scrapbooking and Arts this month. When I saw this month's mood board, I was in love. Purple is such a rich color, isn't it?! It's my favorite color, but if you know me you know that already. You'd also know how much I enjoy trying new things and going outside my comfort zone. I have been obsessing over abstract art lately. I've decided to begin dabbling in creating multiple-colored backgrounds. Why not start working with monochromatic pallets, right?! We can do this together! The more we do something the better we get at it, art is no different. So let's go on a creative adventure!
