TIME...

So it's that time again.....
OWL's word for this week is TIME!!
As I was flipping through Shape magazine all I saw was flat abs...Ok, right, its shape magazine but I was laughing to myself at how many pictures of toned abs there was..geez. It got me to thinking too, my daughter is on an eating strike lately and when she is not eating she is pretty much unbearable. So maybe the world would be a happier place if we just ate a fricken doughnut every once in awhile. Go ahead, It's your first step in a happier tomorrow....






Materials:
Paint and gloss medium..with a little Lumiere to add sparkle, a felt doughnut, transparents tape, stamps and alphabet cutters dipped in paint..

Trust

This weeks word from OWL is Trust. I was listening to this Jeremy Camp song when I went to create this page. I always need to remember that God is ultimately in control and I need to have faith and TRUST!!!
My favorite part of the song, included in the journaling is
" I will walk by faith , even when I cannot see."
I experimented with LOTS of different random things this time. The background paper that looks like buildings,is a new paper, that you can watercolor in. The word " TRUST" is made of baked sculpty clay!
The music notes are from a cut of vintage sheet music. I had to include this because the whole piece of art was inspired by a song.

OLW.....

This is a challenge from OLW. The word this week was "CREATE".
This was a fun word to use!
I am always so easily distracted....and this layout shows that!! These are all photos of things that create happy distractions in my everyday life.

Materials used:
Acrylic Paint, sparkle water color medium, tape, puff paint, stickles glitter paint and beads.

A bit of inspiration...

While reading my favorite blog,Visual Chronicles, I stumbled upon another blog they were talking about called One Little Word. In a nutshell, they pick a word and you use that word to create something. I could not wait to get started so I used one of their old words..... "GO".
Below is what came to me, upon hearing the word.


Materials used:Lots of green paint.Green Watercolor mixed with a sparkle water color medium. Masking tape, vellum , stamps..again with the doodle stamp set from stampin' up,yellow puff paint and a correction pen for all the white doodles. The handwriting "alone" is actually just my handwriting..impressive huh?
The quote listed is from a Keane song I was listening too while creating this. The photo is of my daughter..changed the color to sepia in iphoto.
