Aren't we all on a journey? Sometimes the journey feels rawer and scarier than other parts of the journey but finding what speaks to you is part of it. I love how the pages in my journal are speaking to me. I love how a blank watercolor page can come to life with just a splash of color, a sketch, a bit of glue and a charcoal pencil.
That is what happened on this page....
This was a rather simple page and I looked for more "things" to put on it but it just did not need it. I just wanted to be plain and simple. That is what spoke to me.
MATERIALS LIST:
- Helmar Adhesive - Premium Craft Glue & Liquid Scrap Dots
- Acrylic Paint - Decoart (Spa Blue, Poodleskirt Pink, White Wash)
- Charoal Pencil
- Stamp Pad - Colorbox
- Stamp - Stampendous
- Butterflies - Jenni Bowlin
I also want to share some more pages from those who have emailed me! Here is Leanne Garner's Album and her first pages!
"I wanted to make this inspiration journal for several reasons! One being that I've never made anything like this and always love to try new things! The other reason I feel like I wanted to make this is because I feel like I'm on a new journey in life! Not a bad journey, just a new chapter opening up and needs to be explored! I love all the inspirational quotes you can find (you can look for days!) and love to pick out the ones that I either need reminding myself of or ones that keep me motivated! This is something I know I can cherish when it's completed!" ~ Leanne
Thank you Leanne for joining me! Keep sharing your pages: [email protected]. We never know where the journey will take us. My page spoke to me on my journey and I hope you find what speaks to you on yours.
"All of life is a journey which paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there." ~Unknown.
Beautiful page, Tracy! (Doesn't look so simple to me! lol) Love the message too! Very inspiring!
Leanne, your pages are gorgeous! You're a natural...I never would have guessed that this was the first time you've done this! Fabulous work! The Eleanor Roosevelt quote is one of my faves. :-)
