above is my first step in my 2007 art journal journey. emily falconbridge posted the challenge on her blog the other day & i was inspired, so i'm joining it. the concept is to create an art journal using a deck of playing cards....& alter one card a week. at the end of the year you will have 52 cards & have taken a creative journey....isn't that such a great idea!! this week's prompt was "something you are proud of". i really thought hard @ this one & i've come to the realization that i am most proud of who i am...who i've become....i've come a long way & by no means am perfect....but i am pretty proud of who i am, flaws & all.
gotta say, this is sooooooo much fun....just to play....create whatever i want.....fool around w/ all my fun supplies....explore different techniques....basically, just create for the sake of creating art.....so many thanks emily for the challenge! if anyone else wants to join, please do! no prior experience is necessary...just the desire to have some good 'ol creative fun!!
here is kelly's take on the challenge. isn't she so artistic! of course hers has rhinestones & flowers all over it. it also say's "you're the cat's meow!". so kelly....and i am sooooo proud of her!!!
happy saturday everyone!!! gi
