Spotlight on Scribble Sticks
Well, Scribble Sticks are finalllllly shipping out from the Ranger Warehouse and will be at your fave store SOON, if they're not there already. I just love them. I really do. What they look like: a crayon. What they are not: a crayon. Why? Because Scribble Sticks contain NO wax. They're mo...

Trip to Ranger!
In early June I got to spend a week at Ranger Ink. It was so great to go there and meet all the people who work so hard to make Dina Wakley Media products, as well as all of the other fabulous Ranger products. I got to meet the awesome art department, production, plus lots of other staff. What m...

Happy to reveal my Winter 2015 release with Ranger!
Hooray, the day has come! I am happy to share my Winter 2015 release with Ranger. Handwritten Heart Collage I did this set with cardmakers in mind. How easy is it to stamp the heart, then choose a phrase to go inside? Voila, instant card! I'm sort of obsessed with the heart, though...I've even...

Sorry this is belated but I hope you had a great birthday. You look great at 43! Having just reached my weight loss goal of 130 pounds, I know how hard it is. We have never met but I have followed your blog for a while and enjoyed stopping in your store once when we were in North Carolina. You have inspired me to become a better artist and to take chances with your Inspiration Wednesdays. Thank you for all you do to encourage us who are "closet artist" to take those chances. Looking forward to see what you have in store for your followers in the future. Happy Belated Birthday again!

Wow! And we have missed you but know that you have been a busy, busy lady. All of the new things you have in the works look fantastic!

Deep breath...
Hello, friends. My teaching schedule has been heavy the last few months, and it won't lighten up any time soon. I haven't had enough time to do my own journaling, so despite pressing deadlines I sat down a couple of weeks ago and made ART for ME. I need to make sure I have my own journal time de...
What a great adventure for your family...will you adopt me? lol Thanks for sharing.
Our Cairns adventure...
I am blessed to do what I do. I know that and I am grateful for it every day. We're also lucky that my engineer husband works for an airline. His job opens up the world to our family for much less $$ than it would ordinarily cost. So far our fellas have been to 9 countries, which is pretty great...

I am so excited that you're here on Dina Wakley Media blog hop day! Today we're celebrating the release of my acrylic paints, mediums, and brushes, made by the awesome Ranger Ink. My paints are thick and creamy, heavily pigmented, and they spread like butter. My brushes have a long handle for ...
Loved the video and can't wait for my paints to come in. I have ordered them all and should arrive soon! So excited...congratulations on your new line again. Hope you are doing well...it's been a while. Thanks for sharing.
Come see me paint a little tag with my new paints!
Here's a little video I did about my new paints! Check back on May 26th...we'll be doing a celebratory blog hop with some great artists participating. AND I will be giving away TWO sets of paints & mediums!!
Just pre-ordered my copy! Can't wait til is comes in Dec.. Early Christmas gift, yay!!! I loved your first book so much, I got both the hard copy and kindle version. Refer to it all of the time. Great resource. You are so good at explaining information. Good Luck with your book. To all of those who don't have Dina's first book, I highly recommend getting it.
The cover for my new book!
There it is!! Publication date is Dec 2014, so there's a bit of time to go. In the publishing world, they always do the covers first so they can get information out to stores who may want to order it. I got my manuscript in (a week early, too, BOOYAH) in mid-March. Now the book will be edited....
I don't but I am going to give it a try. I do have a hard time getting started and this might be just what I need. Thanks for the great video as usual very inspiring!
Another page with a warm-up tag...
Here's another page I did with a warm-up tag. For this one, the background was already on the page (left over from my CHA demos, actually). I used a water brush filled with sumi ink to draw on the warm-up tag. Then I bent back the journal covers and sewed the tag onto the page (that's why th...
