Just Smile

This is my journal entry for today's challenge, inspired by the word SMILE. We were supposed to list what makes us smile (I did on the adjacent page). For me, my husband and son are number 1 on that list, followed by my friends, my animals, and just enjoying the simple things in life!

I realize now that I should have taken pictures from start to finish of my page, but didn't think about it until I was done. Basically, I used light blue acrylic paint washed with white for the background. I dolloped paint circles for the flowers (with a shampoo cap), then glued circle punches in the middle. I cut out a butterfly from some wrapping paper and stamped the other two. Then I used letter stickers for SMILE. I then wrote my favorite saying in the flowers, "Live, Laugh, Love".

Working on this really brought a SMILE to my face! It was so much fun!!!

31 Days

I am still here. I've taken an impromptu break in the last week; not sure why. But I'm back to announce a creativity challenge that I'm participating in for the month of March. It's The 31 Day Creativity Challenge and I'm SO excited about it! My friend Leslie from {Words of Me Project} has created this challenge - for FREE - and I invite anyone who wants to boost their creativity to join in!

The first day our "assignment" was to decorate the cover of our art journal (she explains where these can be purchased. I got mine from Hobby Lobby). I made mine simple, because right now, I seem to be drained of creativity. And it says, "31 days to remember why I create". I know that this is just what I need to restart my creative engines!

Thank you Leslie for all the hard work you are putting into this. This is such a gift!
