This one went through many iterations. Here’s the first version:

so many happy colors on this one. Maybe too many but I still love it!

Wednesday, I tried this scene but failed miserably.

the next day, I tried another amazing scene but it was super-hard too.

Friday I did yet another scene:

on Saturday I decided to change it up a bit and did this cart:

on Sunday, I did more boats:

Monday was my birthday so I thought this muffin was a good fit. I only put one candle.

Tuesday I tried this amazing owl:

This weeklong page was originally inspired by this awesome art journal page. I did mine differently but similar idea.

This week I mostly just added text and basic stamps.
here’s the left page:

And here’s the filled page:

So very colorful, isn’t it?

Wednesday, I made this girl.

the next day, was a bad day so I did this girl cause it was my exact mood at that moment.

Friday I did a fish:

on Saturday I decided to change things up and did the three mirrors:

on Sunday, I did this scene:

Monday was another scene which looks ok until you look at the original and realize how much more amazing it is and how i got my perspective and scale all wrong.

Tuesday I made another scene:

and here we are, something a bit different. I want to challenge myself, stretch, see what i like what I’m good at etc. as always some are ok others not so great. let’s see what next week brings.

So after the last muddy page, I realized I just like white. Not that this should be shocking considering my layouts but for some reason, I kept thinking when art journaling I need to cover all the background with color. Which then makes all the other colors not true since blue on a yellow background is not the same as blue on white. So now I decided to use white for my backgrounds. I love so much of this. The colors. The stitching. The lettering. All of it. I feel like maybe I am slowly finding my way.

This weeklong page was originally inspired by this wonderful picture and this awesome one. I loved them both and decided to do my own hot-air balloons.

This week I kept it simple cause it was already so colorful.
here’s the left page:

I love this one, too.

Here’s the funny thing. I hate this page. It looks all muddy and the colors are not what I like, etc. But as it worked out, I showed it to my husband and he said the colors are all muddy and I totally agreed and that ended up flipping the switch that I’ve had for months for some reason and the very next day, I figured out how to create pages I love. Sometimes you have to do something you don’t like to realize what you do like.
They are coming starting Wednesday. I hope you like them as much as I do.
