So there's still some activity goin' on with the Circle Journal I've been participating in, which is being hosted by Andrea. I received mine back and oh man! How fun to get it back all filled out, stuffed full of some very sincere and heartfelt words. It makes me so happy to see the whole "things I hold dear" perspective by other people. Thank you SO much Andrea, Claudine, Dana, Jenna, Elizabeth W., Elizabeth M., Shelley, Samantha, and Sheila for making this so fun.
So here's what my CJ looks like all chunked up! Yay!
And then here's my LO for Dana's CJ. Her theme is "favorite quotes" and her book is 6 x 6. SO lovely. This theme was SO easy for me because I have a very favorite quote. I've talked a lot about it before so I won't go into it, lest I bore you. Here's the left side of the LO...
The little card pulls out and the journaling reads...
When I first began to explore "my style" as an artist, I truly felt like it had all been done before. I thought I would never be able to discover an authentic style and that it would always look like I was copying other artists. This quote profoundly reminds me that as long as I create from my heart and from my own experiences, "my style" will shine through.
Here's the right side which includes the quote is my guiding light...
Oh I forgot to mention that Rhonna is doing another 21-day Challenge. It started this past Saturday. Even though I'm joining in late, I'm still gonna join in. I have got LOTS of habits to start and stop! How do I pick? :-)
Hope you're having a great week!!!
OH, how pretty your cj is. I hope get mine soon, can't wait to see it. I love the quote that you had picked out.
