Praying Angel Art Jounal Page

Did this Angel for ...my new Art Journal page. I did up the back ground with more tourqoise and pink and white and green, then decided i didnt like how bright it was and continued to add some other colors starting with black!...just worked it till i was happy with it.  All done with acrylic paint...and a journaling pen.  Was a fun way to spend a saturday evening...not much on tv anyways! 

File Folder Recipe Album

I made this File Folder Recipe Album  6.5 x 4.5 in size, fun little project. Starting with a file folder, open it up , fold it in half the opposite way across the other fold.. fold it up to about an inch or so from the top.  measure and cover with papers of your choosing, mine are basic grey. cover all pages that show , use modpodge to stick papers on. 

I added this cute fabric flower i have had in my stash for a while and a tag along with stickers to the front.  I punched holes in the back and front panels as you will see to run the ribbon through to tie it all shut. 

 adding some matching flowers and buttons and sticker tags and words, machine stitching the pockets together to hold them closed. I added tabs to separate recipes. There are a total of 16 recipe cards. 3 in each one of these pockets, 2 in each of the back pockets for extra recipes. I will be posting this album in my Etsy store! HERE

Lifebook 2013 Lesson 27

I have been picking and choosing my lessons in life book. Some for  their lessons , maybe not something that clicks with me or that goes against what I believe.  And some because i really dont have all the supplies in order to do the lesson to my liking. 

This lesson was interesting, picking 5 aspects that you are happy with , in yourself, 5 your not...and then 5 hopes and dreams. Then taking a look at the ones you dont like in yourself, but not using them to beat yourself up with, but to take them apart and find the feelings behind them...it was really good to do that. 

The waves are the good and the bad aspects and the sails have my hopes and dreams. I did mine to suit me, and i like how it turned out. The waves are not my favorite, but its not suppose to be realistic...more whimisical..so I accept that! lol

Glad to be in my craft room when its 103 outside...thanking God that we have air conditioning...! Keep cool!
