Happy 6th Blogoversary to Foxy Stamping!

Psalms 37:4-5 "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.  Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."

 Six years ago April 5th, 2013,  I posted my first post to my Blog.  My grandson had set me up, and I was ready to go!  I cannot believe I have been blogging that long. If I figured up the numbers right this is the 213th post! I have gotten to know bloggers from all over the world,
and have learned a lot of craft techniques as well as learning about new tools!  Also, lately I have learned about artists and musicians, poets and a lot of other useful knowledge, and maybe some not!  But, I am smiling, because I have really enjoyed the journey.  I have enjoyed all of you, my blogger friends!  Thank you for going with me on this journey and for all your inspiration!

 I am celebrating by joining in three challenges today: Try It on Tuesday (to use at least two stencils on our project) and Art Journal Journey with the theme "Having Fun' and More Mixed Media, anything goes with optional yellow.  I always want to join in, but never seem to get it done!  So today as part of my celebrating I am doing these three challenges.

 I love working with stencils and think I used 4 different ones counting the letter stencils.  The having fun just made me think of all the fun I am now having because the sun is out and it is warm enough to walk!  So I am having fun in the sun.  I should have put birds on here, because I have been seeing birds again!  Hindsight is great!  Anyway, I sure did have some fun getting dirty with ink and paint! I use a 7x10 Canson 98 lb. book for my technique journal.   Thanks for looking

 Here is my journal page:
You can't see the sparkle and there is lots of sparkle with the silks and I added Wink of Stella to the butterfly.
The only item not in the photo are the Bible art stamps I added because it needed something. But, I wanted it to look bright and sunny.
That is my project today. If you follow the links above you will see some wonderful projects for inspiration.  Thanks for stopping by and helping me celebrate my Blogoversary!

    Congrats on the milestone Sharon. And I am so glad you decided to celebrate and join our stencil challenge at Try It On Tuesday. This is such a happy piece. The butterfly feels like it is flying away, with hopefully another 200+ posts. Have a wonderful weekend Sharon. Hugs-Erika

    WOW, Sharon, this is great. I LOVE this journal page and the butterfly is so different. The colors are fabulous and the composition is well conceived. Thanks for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey, too.

    I was just talking about you today and was telling my friend Sally about Art Park after she said she wants to go to the library, which neither of us has ever seen. Now both are on our list, but that will have to wait until after she returns from her trip which starts tomorrow.
