Art Journal Journey - Count Your Blessings

Hello Folks!

I count Creativity as one of my greatest blessings in life, so I'm linking today's 5 minute spread to Elizabeth's Challenge at Art Journal Journey.

Here's my Day 6 spread after 5 minutes...


Then I couldn't resist adding some extra outlines and doodles, as I would normally do, when time is not limited.


I found another great Tim Holtz quote sticker, which was appropriate to SouthernGal's 5 minute art challenge.


It's nearly 90 degs where we live in the UK today, so I'm hiding indoors in my cool art room. Hope you're keeping cool, happy and comfortable wherever you are in the world.

  4. I totally enjoyed the five minute entry, then swooned over the finished piece when time was not limited. Yes, that was a perfect quote and fit the challenge perfectly. I adore the colors you chose and the way you outlined everything in black and white pens. I believe you truly ARE blessed with creativity, Alison, and adore this beautiful journal page you chose to share with us at Art Journal Journey.

    It's hot here, too. Wednesday was the only cool day (~ 85F) before the heat returned yesterday. It gave me time to work on my lawn for the first time in many weeks.
