Art Journal Caravan, Wk. 4: Let Loose with Colors

For week 4, one of the prompts was to "let loose with colors," which prompt I took to heart. I find myself reaching for bold colors in order to keep the winter blues away. Orange and Royal blue are my most favorite color combination. The sight of them makes me happy and uplifts my mood.

I extracted, I burnt, I masked, I recolored, I blended modes, I erased, I ran filters...I did so many things I don't think I can replicate this ever again.

(My pc did crash 2 times because of storms in our area...so this is my 3rd attempt.)

Mom's 2 year death anniversary is next month...so it has been weighing heavy on my mind as of late. There were so many things that I didn't get to tell her. I thought I had many more years, but alas, the Lord had other plans for her.

Art Journal Caravan {Expedition 2010} By Tangie

Have you heard of Tangie Baxter? She is a designer at Scrapbookgraphics, and also hosts the ALTERED ARTSPIRATION challenge. I wish I could think and create collages like she does!

I've been scrapping for 4 years now...and you know that I do it to preserve my children's memories. I love the process of taking the picture, and creating the perfect design that highlights the photo and journaling. I think that right now is the time for me to try to expand my brain and be more creative. This journal will be something just for me...I can't wait for it to begin in January!
