creating...just for fun
On Friday, UPS brought me six boxes...the return of my Lifelines projects from the publisher. It was so cool to unpack the projects...to remember when and why I made them...to smile about some of them...to have this desire to add more pages to some of the books. This weekend, I felt like I had a lot of inspiraton which resulted in this urge to create...it was like an itch that just wouldn't go away...so I scratched it! I really wanted to add to my personal art journal which I had gotten back on Friday so that's what I did!
I wanted to do some pages just about color...to take a page and focus on one color at a time...not to get hung up on design and doing things right (i.e., taking forever to do it)...just layering lots of elements.
The only parameters I set were that I was to use what I had (definitely a good way to use up stashes!) and to include a photo on each page.
Here are the pages I was able to do:
Thanks again Carol for the info!
We had a great time touring all the scrap stores!
