Life Book week 28 was back to an assignment from Tam. It was about drawing an eye. This one is almost a copy of the art she made for the week. And i do love it so. It’s all made with acrylics, pens, watersoluble crayons and some sprays. I do wish I’d written one big message on the page. Eh, we live we learn. Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
Life Book week 25 was back to an assignment from Effy Wild. Her art was totally different but when I sat down to create, this is what poured out of me. It happens that way sometimes. This lady is made with acrylics. And she is not my favorite but I do like her message: You are exactly where you’re supposed to be. Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
My July My Mind’s Eye assignment is also May’s One Little Word assignment. I decided to take the wonderful little MME cards and then use their embellishment packs to add a layer and then I painted a bunch on each and then I stamped a bunch. And a little more paint. And finally I wrote my journaling and this is what I ended up with. All the journaling is about what I am thinking about and trying at this moment.
Still can’t get enough of that Gold. Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
Life Book week 23 was back to an assignment from Tam. It was about drawing deer. So I took the antlers and put them on my girl. It was also about making patterns. Since my little girl is quite unusual, I decided the text should say: What makes you different is what makes you special, embrace who you are. Ain’t that the truth? Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
Life Book week twenty was taught by Serena Bridgeman. I loved, loved, loved her lesson. It was so calm and lovely and I really enjoyed it. But when I sat down to make mine, all I knew was that I didn’t want to copy hers. I just wanted to do something different. I had just finished a month of painting faces so I decided to make a big face and see where it took me. It took me to this.
The text says: No one can make you feel anything other than what you allow inside. I love this one. I need to remember it frequently. And continuing with my gold obsession, I gave her a gold halo. And of course a little bird on her shoulder. Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
Life Book week twenty-one was taught by JenniBellie. As it seems to be the trend lately, my art has nothing to do with what Jenni taught. I loved her lesson but I didn’t want to do it. So I decided to couple it with my August My Mind’s Eye Assignment. I used the awesome wood paper they have in the Essentials line and I took the girl and journaling idea from Jenni’s lesson. I painted my girl with acrylics. Painted the edges brown and then the whole background gold. A few lovely MMe embellishments and I was done with what I wanted.
The last touches were adding lines to the background so I could journal all over my page. It’s about remembering that today, this very day, is the most important day. Something I know but have a hard time remembering. Yes, still in love with the gold. Look at all that shimmer, how could I not be? Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
This week’s page is the final one I did for the Walk. This was the life mapping assignment. All the words are Melody’s. Here’s what I did. I took my four core desired feelings and my word of the year and then I went through her pages and pages of text and cut each of them that I thought fell into one of my categories. I didn’t overthink the process. I just started it and kept going. Once I had all my text, I drew 5 circles on my page. I colored them with watercolors. I stamped the words on each circle. And then I just glued down the papers. It was a lot of work but I thought of it like meditation. I enjoyed the process and didn’t worry about the result. At the end, I outlined the words, the circles and the page. And I love how it turned out. Now I have to make sure I read it regularly. Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
Another break from Life Book to show you a page I made for My Mind’s Eye. I really liked all their new cards and wanted to just have fun with the beautiful colors and all the gold. I can’t get enough of gold these days. I want to use it more and more. This page says: you and me, we are perfect together.
This page is about my husband and how wonderful he is. How he’s always patient with me. And how deeply he loves me and how right he is for me. Of course, we have our tough moments but again and again, he reminds me that I got so very, incredibly lucky when I met this man. I love you my wonderful husband. Remember This is a project for 2014.

Life Book week nineteen was taught by Danielle Daniel. I love the girls Danielle makes. They are different than my usual, more delicate style. I was excited to try them. To learn from her. I loved her lesson but then I froze up. I just didn’t feel like sitting and drawing. When I finally sat down, this is what came out. Here’s what I love. I like her face and her peaceful expression. I like the writing. It says: embrace peace, choose calm. I like the halo-ish lines that make her shine too. Here’s what I don’t love: I don’t like her clothes, they lack character, depth, interest. I don’t like hands. They are hard. But, most of all, I don’t like the blue background. I am a white background gal through and through. I don’t know how I forgot that. In the end, one more assignment down and I can’t say I didn’t learn. So, all in all, I put this down on the plus column. Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
Back to Life Book. Life Book week seventeen was taught by Tascha Parkinson. Her style, too, is nothing like mine. Her page was small, sweet, and cute. I decided to make her character gigantic. It’s cute. Way cuter than I am likely to make on my own. But I like the colors, the way it’s so different, and it’s cuteness too I guess. The text says: grateful and all the journaling in the background is about all the things for which I am grateful. Another different page. My goal with Life Book was to practice something different regularly and I am definitely getting that. Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
We take a little break from Life Book this week, to look at a page I made for My Mind’s Eye. I liked their new flairs and decided to just have fun with them. It’s a simple, quick page. But It was fun. Sometimes doing art is just about having fun. Sometimes it’s quick and fun. The text on the sticker says: It’s the Little Things that Make Life Worth Living Isn’t that true? We forget that so often. But it’s really the deepest truth there is. Life is all about the tiny little moments. The ones that are full of joy.
so here we are. Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
Life Book week twelve was taught by Traci Bautista. I love Traci’s style but it’s nothing like mine. This was another one I had to sit on for a few days. When I finally sat down to create, I decided to just have fun with it. I have mixed feelings about the final results. Another page I would have never really done on my own. But I like it too. It’s different. Vibrant. alive. The text says: You are not your thoughts. Something both David and I need to remember more often. Remember This is a project for 2014.
