Art Journaling with Viva Las Vegastamps!

Hello everyone!

Aimee here, with my last post for VLVS!

I've had a GREAT time with the design team, and Wayne, and Terri.

I'll be re-applying in another 6 months for sure!!

So, this time I thought I'd do an art journal page.

I love to art journal. I've got two going right now, and just got a 3rd in the mail.

They are all different sizes, so I use the one whose size fits my mood.

 So... would you like to art journal with me?

Yes?

Yippee!!
