I was loving the prompts from this week, even though I didn’t follow them as closely as I intended to. Now that I’m done all my creating for the Christmas craft shows I’m a part of in the coming weeks, I was free to art journal at my leisure without any nagging “to do” list…

Season of Words // Week 3
Hey, howdy, hey! (In the words of the greatest cowboy of all: Woody. Duh.) It’s another week in the Get Messy season of Words. I’ll admit that I made these pages at 6:00 am this morning because I’ve been hustling on another project in my free time. For making these in the early hours with…

Season of Words // Week 1+2

Serenity // Week 3
Another week, another set of prompts! This week we took on why we were here, and addressing the things that stood in the way of our serenity. Both those topics were thought provoking and hard to process in some ways. As a Christian, I default to my purpose being a servant and to evangelize. But…

An Art Journal Adventure
A couple weeks ago the ever amazing Vanessa shared some pages where she challenged herself to only use her journal, a magazine, scissors, glue and a marker. Her pages were so fantastic and I loved the idea of trying to create with less. Last week I gave it a go on a few pages and…
