After my previous mellow subdued journal page, my inner wild child was kicking and screaming to get out.
Bold texture and color makes me so happy.
As well as finding words that speak to me in the moment.

After sitting down to create ATC’s for a swap (more on that another time), I was feeling quite inspired. I decided work in my art journal with the current AJJ theme of In my garden in mind. I definitely wasn’t going to limit myself to the theme though.
Turns out that was the direction I was heading anyway.
After painting on the page with my fingers, I added some more background texture with stamped text to simulate greenery. I fussy cut around one of my rose photographs then went off to find some words.
I like that I leave you hanging…wondering….”what did she realize?” I added a bit to line-work with both black and white pens before stamping my date and calling it a day.
Stop by Art Journal Journey and check out all the fun entries for this months theme.

Now who can tell me what I’m referencing?
This page was created on the back of a Ritz cracker box bound into my door journal. I very rarely use this journal…in fact I had put it away in the cupboard and forgotten about it until yesterday.
I seem to do my pages about a year part…so at that rate I’ll be done with this one in about 8 years. HA!
