When I was asked to be part of the Creative Team, I thought I would need a new Art Journal. So I took a packaging from Amazon and made a journal! I love to use junk and transform it into something useful and pretty. I love handmade journals and this one I want to fill during my time in the Creative Team using lots of the gorgeous stencils from Shawn Petite.For my vocal point I used the beautiful flower stencil Flower Silhouette 5 from Shawn Petite, Poppies are my favorite flowers and to look at them it always makes me happy. I wanted to make a colorful and textured journal cover – and here it is!

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 25 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. I believe—no, I know—you are worthy of love, and I want to teach you to know that about yourself. Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
