Journal 52 - Week 2
The prompt for Week 2 at Journal 52 is: "just be": think about the word being and what it means to you. This might mean
being your self and what makes you who you are, the things you do, or
being present in the moment – it might mean just getting lost in the art
of creating this week – that’s perfectly OK too!"
I think it's important to be happy with your life, yourself, what you do and so on. Even if it's not so easy sometimes. So I went for: Just be happy.
For the background I've used 3 different Distress Stains and stamped some wood grain on it. Then I cut out some letters to spell "Just be happy" and glued it on the page. To finish it off I added some Washi tape to one side.
Looking forward to next weeks prompt.
Thanks for looking.
The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge
The new challenge over at the Craft Barn is to use the words PEACEFUL and/or GRACE in a quote or lyric.
I found a couple of songs with the word GRACE in it, but I went for Jeff Buckley's song Grace at the end.
I like Jeff Buckley a lot, he is(was) such a talented artist. Unfortunately he died in 1997 aged only 30.
Please check out the song here
For this page I made a watercolour background. Cut out a tag from a sparkling cardboard and coloured it with Alcohol inks. I've printed out the lyrics and glued it on the tag. I then added images of Jeff Buckley to the page and some collage elements.
This was good fun and I enjoyed making this page a lot.
Looking
forward to see what everybody is making for this challenge. Thanks a
lot for all the lovely comments left for my THING page :)
