I'm still here :)
Thank you for the sweet comments from yesterdays post. I feel loved that you all would miss my blog if it didn't come back :) You all put a smile on my face and love in my heart.
Today is Week 6 of the He-Art Journal Challenge.
WEEK 6 - Text Me! (using lots of text)
Assignment: Create a spread or a page using mainly text and lettering! This includes numbers, symbols, handwritten or typed, phrases, etc. Use any stamps you want, colors, etc. Not necessary to use any TGF stamps, this is YOUR journal, do what you want cuz you rule that journal!
Here are my pages.
Last week I did a page full of text. If you don't remember here it is. Week 5. So when I read this assignment I was kind of bummed. So I came up with a plan. I was going to draw an angle (I wanted to try my hand at drawing and colouring a flowing dress). Then she was going to have words written in her dress and in her hair and she was going to be blowing inspirational words out to the wind.
Ya this turned out nothing like I planned, lol.
I know I am no artist but I had fun trying to draw her.
I coloured her in with my Copic markers.
So what I did on the words was I wrote them out with my embossing pen, then heat embossed them with white embossing powder.
I worked all day long. Pretty exciting eh?
My butt is actually sore from sitting on it all day, lol.
Hubby and I did get some groceries for camp/cottage this long weekend. I am so looking forward to going up there. We really haven't been up there a lot this summer, and summer is coming to an end :(
I got a text from my sister that my nephew broke his jaw yesterday.
The hospital told her it was just dislocated, but to come by the hospital today to get a cat scan. Then they tell her no its broke. It was a clean break, so he needs to get his jaw wired shut. Luckily he doesn't need pins or anything that drastic. Poor kid, its his first year of high school starting next week.
So tomorrow I will go with them when he goes in the hospital to get this done.
Thankful Thursday:
My nephew didn't hurt himself worse then he did.

The hair looks amazing! So sorry about your nephew. Hope he recovers quickly
ReplyDeleteThis is great. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteShe looks great!! If you want to blend her hair a little more - take the lightest color you used, and color (with strokes) over all the blended areas. Just a little tip someone else taught me a while back.
ReplyDeletethis is great! love this page in your journal!
ReplyDeleteAnother great page for your art journal. You will be so proud of your work when you are done.
ReplyDeleteHope your nephew does OK today getting his jaw wired. What a way to start the school year.
Have a fun weekend at camp.

What a fun page! I've always wanted to do a page with a mix of letters in the background. It's still on my list of pages "some day"! So glad you were able to restore your blog. I was worried too! Now its back, you can relax and have fun this weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL page!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page! So sorry to hear about your nephew. Poor kid!
ReplyDeleteSO, SO, SO, CREATIVE!!!! I just love it! Awesome how she's blowing the words out on little hearts and how you improvised with the embossing pen! Have a nice relaxing weekend :)
ReplyDeletefor someone who "isn't and artist" it's amazing...I think you are selling yourself short by saying you aren't an artist...you are!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing, fun page!
ReplyDeleteYou are really great with the copics :)
And I am so sorry to hear about your nephew's jaw :(
Love it!
