Back in February, Kat Hansen challenged all of us who hang out at DHD to step out of our boxes and try some layout styles we don't usually use. I've always found white-space and art-journal styles to be difficult, but art-journal more so. I had in mind to do a layout someday about Adam's dread disease, histiocytosis X and since art-journaling is more about feeling than seeing, I decided this would be a good time to do it. It was cathartic...
This month's journaling challenge... to write a note to my younger self... created the opportunity for me to do something to bring this full-circle, completing a two-page spread.
Since I was already stretching my art-journal muscle, this month's Inspiration Challenge let me bulk it up a little more. We were asked to use 'paper dolls' as our inspiration. I chose word art that reflects how I need to start thinking about myself, as I get older and it becomes more and more unlikely that I'm going to change. "Love Who You Are"... words to live by!
Wow... THREE art-journal layouts! On a roll?
