October's Party

The art challenge on 12 Months in View today is to make a page inspired by the poem October's Party.

I had cut some leaves from paper and some acetate packaging at the beginning of September and I still had some of them.   I put them randomly on the journal page.

I sprayed inks over the page and then removed the leaf masks.  You could do this with actual leaves.

I printed out the poem on the inside of a brown envelope.  I made myself a leaf shape and cut out the words in the leaf shape.

I stuck the paper leaves down on the page.

And then the printed leaves.

I used letters from my stash for the title.

Thanks for stopping by.

MLD Meme

Carolyn has a weekly meme on Thursdays called Messy Little Details.  Find out about it here.  Why don't you join in?

I took this on our whale watching trip.  I love the colours, the reflections and the ripples in the sea.  This is straight from the camera without any photo editing.

Thanks for stopping by.

An Attitude of Gratitude 2013

Last year for the month of November I ran a challenge blog, An Attitude of Gratitude, where participants found a quote, a Bible verse, an inspirational video, some journaling prompts and an art technique challenge.   Those who completed the thirty days had a complete journal.

These are some of my pages.

And I am pleased to announce that there is a new blog for 2013: An Attitude of Gratitude 2013.

Each day throughout November there will be blog posts much like last year's blog - which is still available if you wish to work through that one.  The major difference is that this year instead of a different technique every day there are a series of techniques allocated to a number of days and you can choose which of them to use on a particular day.

Of course, you don't have to art journal to take part.  You can use the quote, the verse and the journaling prompts and scrapbook, blog, make notes, sew or just think.  Have a look at how Valerie interpreted the challenge last year.

So do have a look at the new blog challenge at An Attitude of Gratitude 2013 and I hope you will join in.  It would be great to have you there.

Thanks for stopping by.
