    Layers upon layers

    This journal spread was several days in the making.

    I started with light colors…then went to orange and rust…then an overlay of cooler pastel colors.

    I finally settled on some flowers. I had intended on having the flowers be the background color and covering the rest with another more solid color but it all went to pieces.

    Oh well.  Trying new things and failing is all a part of learning.

    I decided that the quote Enjoy the Moment was perfect. I needed to just sit back and enjoy.

    It was more about the process than the result this time for me and that’s ok.

    Reflected happiness

    I finished the very last page in one of my journals, which ironically happened to be the inside cover.

    The bold orange made me happy. When I spotted the quote in my stash I knew it was meant to be.

    Other bits and pieces also found their way into my hands from a drawer of randomness. I keep thinking I need to sort that stuff but sometimes chaos is best for my creative process.

    This heart makes me so, so happy.

    The texture…  The inking on the edge… The the fact that its asymmetrical…

    Yeah! Love it when things work out.

    If you’d have seen the mess I made yesterday in another book, you’d truly understand why this one has restored my confidence. YIKES!
