Remember This was mostly to honor things that I knew I wanted to remember. Messages for myself. Lessons learned, etc. It was also a way to regularly do the assignments for the Life Book 2014 class I’d signed up for. As of now, I’ve done all but 4 of the classes. That’s 46 pieces of art from Life Book class. Not bad at all.
Of course, not all of them are my favorite. Many of them are not. But I still really liked experimenting with so many different styles, ideas and even mediums.
So much so that I decided to take Life Book 2015 as well. I am looking forward to another year of wide ranging art and experimentation.
For the life of me, I couldn’t get a good shot of this page. This month’s assignment was to write a letter to myself on my word. I painted my whole cardstock with lots and lots of color. Then I painted the middle white. Then I made some lines using the side of a palette knife and then journaled on it.
I am not a fan of the black lines but I do love all the color on the edges and in the lettering. You win some, you lose some.

The One Little Word assignment for September was creating a short manifesto and writing the real story on how I am doing with my word.
My manifesto was: Yes, I Can.
It’s never failed to give me strength.
And I journaled about how I always keep trying. I believe in the power of trying.

This month’s OLW assignment is a simple one visually. But I still wanted to record it so here we are. It’s song lyrics. See if you can figure out a theme.

July was another two-pager. The assignment was to pick three things: One self care item, one thing to celebrate, and one thing to give.
I chose to celebrate doing 10K steps each day and to eat salads each day for lunch as my self-care. For giving, I decided to use the two big trips we took to see family.
Here’s the front:

Continuing with the One Little Word 2014 assignments. This one is a two page spread. On the left is a large shot of me and the journaling is about one thing I’d like to improve this month.
The right side is a series of photos from the first half of the year. Photos that make me happy.
Love seeing these even now.

Before the year is out, I wanted to make sure to share some of my One Little Word assignments from this past year. Here is the one from all the way back to March. This assignment was to do a vision board. We had a similar one last year and I used Pinterest back then to create my own and I loved the results, so when we had it again this year, I decided to do it exactly the same way.
I just love the way these turn out and I print them out to glue them into my notebooks and I also make them the background of my computers. And then when the year turns over and I make a new one, the old one becomes a screen saver.

Life Book week 36 was an assignment from Tam. It was all about intuition and just doing what came naturally to you. As I listened to Tam’s meditation, I kept seeing balloons. I kept seeing them let go. So I decided to write “brave” and then have it look like the balloons were cut to go free.
It says: it is time to be brave and release: let it go.
it’s really shimmery:

Life Book week 32 was an assignment from Micki Wilde. I had never drawn one of her girls before and I think I need a lot more practice but I still like what I ended up with. She’s giving love out to everyone.
It says: give all of you and ask for nothing in return.
I will say, I believe this wholeheartedly.

Life Book week 31 was an assignment from Mika Diaz. It was about using tracing paper to transfer a drawing into your art journal.
I had a lot of layers and fun with mine and used all my My mind’s Eye products to make a fun background with shiny layers coming from within.
It says: you can choose peace.

Life Book week 30 was an assignment from Carissa Paige. It was about doing transfers and since I don’t like those I decided to do rubons instead. I just had fun with this one.
I put some patterned paper down, colored over it and then colored over the whole thing once more. Some lovely rubons and i was done. The journaling says: Life is ephemeral. Capture it. Savor it. Soak it in. Live it.

Life Book week 26 was a bonus from Kate Thompson and week 29 was a bonus from Marieke Blokland and I decided to combine both. I used fun, florescent colors for my background. These were the high flows and they didn’t behave the way I expected but I just went with it.
Then I grew the girl per Kate’s lesson. Though hers was much better, of course.
And finally I wrote “Keep Trying” because I was frustrated with my lack of enough talent to create something I visualize the way I visualize it.
And then I journaled all over.
