Birds of a Feather Blog Party

Welcome to my blog for the Soul Journal Birds of a Feather blog party!! I loved the unique twist of birds on Valentines Kathryn came up with!

I am going to college full-time plus working full-time, so I couldn't get as prolific as I wanted with the hearts --- and I looooove making hearts!!

Here is an older journal page I did centered around the heart -- most tend to focus on dark hearts, but this is one is definitely on the lighter side for me.

And finally my new feathered friends page for my Heart Speak Journal ... I was in a bit of tropical mood -- longing for warmer days LOL

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

Heart Page

Admittedly, I was suppsoed to be doing my homwork -- but I felt utterly compeleled to make a journal page -- so I did LOL I was feeling guilty that my treasured Heart Speak book had been abandoned for so long, so I did a page.

I learned something though -- it seems I am driven to create from the bottom up -- meaning I do a base layer and that layer drives the rest of the page. I tried to do my heart and embellishments and then figure out the background, but it won't really work that way for me.

I had more plans for this, but I got such an ethereal look with the Leonardo image -- I couldn't bear to add anything else. I am also posting this for an impromptu prompt (catchy phrase LOL) on The Altered Heart -- just so people don't think I completely abandoned the site LOL I haven't done much heart work lately -- but I'll try to get back into my hearts a bit more ... especially with Valentine's looming!

Also -- this is a bot of a stretch to call it fabric art, but I layered some neat cheesecloth paper I got from my friend Nancy and stitched it on. I love this cheesecloth paper and I see all kinds of potential for it!

Secret Yearning

I designed this page for the weekly challenge on the Collage Play with Crowabout group, but since it goes in my heart journal ... I decided to cheat and also use it as a prompt for The Altered Heart -- if there are any readers left over there. Vale and I haven't posted any prompts for quite a while, so hopefully someone will wander over there LOL

Wreckless Heart

Here is another art journal page. I just felt like doing some fun bright colors, so I started out with one of my scrap paint papers. This is also for the weekly prompt on The Altered Heart.

Broomhilda

I had to do one more Halloween page -- a little more traditonal LOL

I'm killing 2 birds with one stone LOL This is my contribution for the prompt on The Altered Heart, and Inspire Me Thursday.

Courageous Heart

Here is journal page for this week's prompt at The Altered Heart.

I feel like a wuss these days LOL This was a reminder to me that I have a heart of courage -- that I have overcome adversity.
