July Guest Designer {Michele Kosciolek}

I'd like everyone to give a big warm welcome to Michele Kosciolek, our July Guest Designer! 

HI!!  Michele here today and I am sharing my very first art journal, yes I finally took the plunge.  ;)   I am SUPER excited (and a little nervous) to be a guest here on the VLVS! blog...but first a little about me.  I live in the mid-west now, where I was born, but I lived in Los Angeles for over 15 years.   I love to craft, travel and spend as much time as I can with my nieces....that is really about it.  My Blog :

Now on to my art journal.

I used the following VLVS! products;

Other items:

May Arts ribbon and jute, Archival Ink, Momento Ink, Doodlebug washi tape, MME Miss Caroline cardstock and brad, Distress Paint, Tattered Angeles Glimmer Mist, Gelatos

I also did my first page...hey when you have an idea you have to go with it right away or you might loose it.  I decided to leave some white space on my page so I can do some actual journaling along with my creation.

I used the following VLVS! Products:
