Well… this one was a struggle. Not every page or piece is a master piece but every single time we create there is a lesson. Our journals are the sacred places that we can grow and learn new things and not be worried about what someone might think. Be will to take a risk…. and learn. I walk you through to the very end and in real time share how I tried to make it better. Not perfect, but better and I share what I learned.

Enjoy the video

Supplies are listed in the video but you can see my most used supplies HERE

Stencils used; Background 1 and vintage postage 1

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 30 years. About 15 years ago I found my art soul mate in mixed media, and it changed my life! I love the story that can be told by combining paint, texture, ink, paper and—really anything that you can imagine.

But what I’m truly passionate about is being your guide, walking with you step by step and helping you become your own hero in your creative journey.

Along my path, I’ve learned that the creating art also creates a healing space. Life can be messy and complicated and painful, but something about a paint brush can help heal your soul.

Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
