I have never done anything like this! I like it. Wish I could do lettering like you do. Great collage.

[@DeniseLush]

Just takes practice and play time! You can do it. It gets better the more you do.Just have fun!

[@sherryvanderpool4024]

What a fun layout

[@DeniseLush]

Thanks

So very sorry for your loss, Denise. Giving yourself time to grieve by working in your art journals can really help. On a brighter note, I am so ready to play with you in a new Dylusions journal. I have been working this week in the one I made when you posted how you made the one you worked on in this video. I've got the new paints, stickers and collage sheets all ready to go! I'm feeling the urge to make a new journal, so bring it on!

[@DeniseLush]

ooooh that is awesome!!! And I love your enthusiasm! lol Thank you.

[@TheCommanda13]

Sorry for your family’s loss, Denise. Thank you for the talkie! I love your lettering and I’m inspired to check out mischief circus too. I love collage!

[@DeniseLush]

So sorry for your loss Denise 🙏🏻💕 I love collage sheets, especially Dylan’s!! But, I also enjoy harvesting images from magazines myself. I call it “Frankensteining” people! Lol 😆

I’m so sorry for your loss. It can be really tough to get back to art after a loss. Sending you hugs. 🤗💜 My Dylusions stuff came last week, I order from Joggles, they usually give you a discount across the board. I’m so excited to get into the paint! I’ve made a mini book with the watercolor paper like you showed us. That’s going to hold my collage from Dylusions. This spread you’ve done here is super cool. I love the pink and orange. 😁💜👍🏻

[@DeniseLush]

ooooh exciting. I want the new paints! I have not ordered them yet though! I also want some of the stamp sets and stencils! Gonna be costly! Have fun with the album!!!!

[@theartycraftytart7759]

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you Linda.

[@Jeannes1234]

The images you used remind me so much of Teesha Moore’s journals. Love that style. What a great idea to cut a stencil to use for your lines!

[@DeniseLush]

Thanks so much!!! I think I may try to come up with some more journal line ideas!

[@mrwlacey]

I have to say first off...I'm sorry for your loss. Second, your video popped up on my KZbin feed today and I think it was kismet! I love Mischief Circus but, you mentioned you were from Newfoundland! My grandmother came to the U.S. from Newfoundland when she was 19. So nice to come across your channel and of course I subscribed!

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you. I moved from Newfoundland when I was 19 as well. lol Moved to Ontario, Canada. Thanks so much for subscribing. I hope you enjoy my videos!

[@carolyngrandall2570]

Yes I did miss you I was looking the other day to see if I had missed one of your post. So sorry for your loss it takes time to heal and get back on track. Love this the reds with black and white border my fav colors. I have slowly begun to accumulate Dylan reavely art I am waiting for my collage papers to arrive now. I. Might order the post cards next. Thanks for sharing your lovely work.👍💕

[@DeniseLush]

Thanks Carolyn. Nope, you didn't miss a thing so no worries. lol Glad you enjoyed the video and colors!!!

[@mixedupmargie]

I love this page ma lady! Im inspired

[@DeniseLush]

Oh thanks so much!!!

[@sherryliberto6749]

I wanted to say I'm truly so sorry for your loss 🙏🙏🙏 please let me know when you start your dylusions journal. Thanks, love, hugs and prayers for you and your family 💜💜💜🙏🙏 Sherry

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you Sherry. If you hit the bell notifications icon you will be notified when I post a video.

[@MsMonile]

Dennise was God healing your heart... That's what I think. Sorry for your loss 🙏🙏🙏

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you Monika.

[@sherryliberto6749]

Yes , do a dylusions journal, I'll journal with you, omgoodness I'm very excited but I can not order paints I've spent way too much. Lol I have to not spend for a couple months. But I do have a dylusions journal already

[@DeniseLush]

It's going to be a little while yet. Maybe you have time lol I'm not using a dylusions journal. I'm using a handmade one like the one I used in this video. But you could do the same idea in any journal. Or you can make a journal yourself! I have a video showing how I make mine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pImtgmmLhsierdE

[@billiejo1978]

Hi denise First of all im sorry for your loss and i hope you and your family are ok and healing from your loss.😇🤗 I love your videos your so good at the whole collage stuff im learning but still dont have a clue ha ha.. but what i want to know please is wen & if i buy collage sheets from the mischief circus ..how do i get them all the right size to use them ? Do they come already sized to print off or do i have to resize...thats the only thing thats stopping me from getting them because iv never done it & really want to have a go at...i would really appreciate it if you could let me know or do a video to show how please..thank you for shareing your videos they and you are awsome 🌻😁

[@DeniseLush]

Hi Billie Jo. Thank you so much. We are all doing okay. When I purchase the collage bundles from Mischief Circus, I get received an email once the payment has gone through. In that email I get links for each design bundle I have purchased. When I click on that I link I think click on each thing shown to download them to my computer. Look for ones with printables (here's a link) www.mischiefcircus.com/shop/printables---.jpg-collage-sheets/ When saved I just open up the collage sheet and print. For me, it's already the size to properly fill a standard sheet of paper. Does this help?

[@billiejo1978]

@@DeniseLush hello Im happy to hear you and family are ok. thank you so much for your reply it helps me alot knowing to just save and print 😁without having to confuse my self resizing things lol.. Thankyou for your channel 🌻😁

[@marysternick5619]

What printer do you use for your collage printables? I know you probably get asked a lot and I’ve looked but couldn’t see where you mentioned it anywhere. I am in need of a printer change and really want to get one that prints satisfying graphics next.

[@DeniseLush]

I don't have anything special. It's just a HP Photosmart 6520

[@marysternick5619]

Thank you! I don’t need anything fancy...just want to be able to appreciate the images I print well enough to use them and enjoy them in art. 💕

[@normafavela5560]

I like the idea on the collage sheets. Where do you get them from? What are they called?

[@DeniseLush]

The ones I used here in this video are from Mischief Circus. I also talk about collage sheets from Dyan Reaveley, which you can purchase from Ranger, Simon Says Stamp, Joggles, etc

[@ZenaBattaglia]

In My condolences. Would you mind telling me the name of the papers you used. Mischeifcircus has so many I couldn't find it. Thank you in advance.

[@DeniseLush]

I honestly don't know. I own so many different ones that I couldn't tell you which is which. A lot of the images are already have the designers name cut off the sheet. Thank you

[@tismith6250]

I wondered what kind of paper do you use to print your collage images? Thanks and take care :)

[@DeniseLush]

Just regular printing paper.

[@kaytexfolkart3412]

Love it! Sorry for your loss... What kind of paper are you printing your MC collage sheets on? It’s great ... colors are great! Funny I saw the same sheets I also have!

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you Just regular printer paper.

[@Babii_Facee]

what kind of paper do u use to print the collage sheets

[@DeniseLush]

just regular printer paper

[@Babii_Facee]

what kind of collage sheets are those?

[@DeniseLush]

Mischief Circus

[@sherryliberto6749]

I'm so excited, I bought both sets they will be here Monday and I paid $13.49 per set so it wasn't bad at all.mine came from scrapbook.com

[@DeniseLush]

That's awesome! Exciting!

[@sherryliberto6749]

Oh , and also I got a free gift 💜💜💜✌️✌️ Sherry

[@DeniseLush]

woo hoo free gifts are great!

[@charlotteminichiello1081]

Where can I buy the sheets of collage

[@DeniseLush]

www.mischeifcircus.com

[@MsMonile]

Denise talking about something else...I got the images from Circus and when I print them they were so big and yours are perfect size, the sad thing is the computer, the printer and I we are not FRIENDS. what do you suggest??

[@DeniseLush]

are you printing the collage sheets or an image separately?

[@MsMonile]

In one page there is about 3 figures but they are big .....well for me (big) they don't look like yours

[@DeniseLush]

@@MsMonile can you use something to resize them? Or copy and paste on a word document?

[@KnottyCeltic]

"cathartic"

[@DeniseLush]

yes, collaging can be. Art journaling. Any art really.

[@KnottyCeltic]

@@DeniseLush one thing I do that I find cathartic is pulling weeds. My neighbours think I'm bonkers but I can totally zone out pulling weeds by hand.
