This Week's Art Journal Pages

This week I have had to put my faith in a lot of people. Generally, I just rely on myself and get things done. Not this week. I think my journal pages are showing this tendency. The great birds are from the Graphics Fairy. I was able to do the border with some of that new tape I got a few weeks ago.

This is one of my favorite quotes. The first time I heard this was when I was a little girl from my grandmother. I have watched youngest chick stand up for the right not to do or think what his peers think the past few weeks. I have seen him be the victim of his peers because he would not cave under their pressures but stand up for what he believes is right for him.

The past is the past, today is your future. I chose this dark blue to accent the young girls dress. I like the simplicity of her. I did transfer the clock backwards on purpose. Sort of you can't turn back time thing.

Again, I am obsessing on the future and the actions you have. We all carry a lot of scars - baggage with us. I am trying to make mine turn into something positive and teach my kids the same.

Normally, I do at least five or six journal pages over a week's time in this particular journal. Not so this week. I thought I would share what the painted page phase looks like with you. I am not sure where I am going from here, but it should be fun...may be some of those Marigold freebies might look at home here.
