Another Primer Sheet to Enjoy

Well the sun is coming up early so hoping today is a lot warmer. I am packing and trying to get us ready for being out of town to his parents for about 5 days. Seems like the list gets longer, but is important so that I don't forget it. If they had a title for list like they do zentangle I would have millions of them over the years. Well enjoy your day. Hope the snow is slowing down for some and Spring is getting around the corner. Hugs,

Another Sweet Little Girl Image to grab!

Inchies Journaling

Now in Sarah's Inchie Lesson she has used a two page spread for her inchies.. I chose to do all of mine on one page. Course you know I am not afraid of those little inchies.. I think her lesson was to show you to not be afraid to be "imperfect",, but I had to make those inchies square... so overcoming "perfectionism" in some of my areas will be hard, were as I am not perfect in others. So I guess I kind of have a balance.. since I had already "washed "my pages prior to starting you will find that you do seem to want to balance what she is teaching and your visions for what your journal will be. See you next post as I will be doing Day 7 and 8 this weekend, and it involves tape,, One thing I will add , Sarah uses "Prompts" , these help you to journal what she is wanting you to learn. Hugs, Debbie

Day 3- Building My Armor

Here Sarah had us start our journals with Armor,, to help us gain our confidence in writing, in challenges when someone is not as thrilled about your journal as you are... I did not do a lot of writing ,, I am still trying to build up the confidence in how to write down what I want to say,, I know that as I progress in the journal I will become more of a writer. So I will revist this page and make additions as I grow in my soul. Next page that I did in next post.. Hugs, Debbie

Here I got to write my name all over in diffent fonts, colors etc. I used Sharpie Poster Paint Water based pens,, they are wonderful but are being discontinued, but did find them here http://www.dickblick.com/products/sharpie-poster-paint-markers/ I am sure I will revist this page to do more doodling and such on it.. On to Day 3- Building Your Soul Armor

I think while it is important to follow the directions in my Soul Journal from Sarah Whitmire, it is also important to make the journal "mine". So next will continued Day 2 Claiming your Journal.

Day One -Claiming your Journal

Here are my first 3 pages with glued old dictionary pages. Now Elena told me how to do an acrylic wash on my pages..I used waxed paper to separate the pages and under my journal to protect my surface. I put a few squirts of each of the cheap acrylic paint on a piece of waxed paper using Metallic Inca Gold, Metallic Peridot, and Metallic Aquamarine all by Folk Art. Then I took a 1 inch wide paint brush and dipped it in water then dipped it in the acrylic paint alternating the colors till I achived the look I wanted. You will see them in the next post. Hugs Debbie

Starting my First Journal

With encouragement from Elena I am starting my first journal. I am taking lessons from Sarah Whitmire at Soul Journaling http://www.souljournaling.com/prompts.php
