http://www.scrapbookingfromtheinsideout.com/buy/kits/live-your-dream-kit/ August's art journaling theme was "LIVE YOUR DREAM". I used the kit to create several art journal pages about my dreams.  Here is a quick peek :-)

This month's theme is RESTORE and I love this month's theme as well as the kit!  Well, the second journal prompt is up and here is my take on it:  The Journaling explains the Layout.  I used all kit content from the spray ink, the stencil, the embellishments, and the Project Life Cards.  I had previously made the doll out of paper clay and we used acrylics to paint her up!  Just FYI...... Sharpie Permenant Marker Pens are NOT Permenant!  Boo Sharpie..... I had to repaint her face.... but, oh well.  I hope you enjoy this post as much as I did creating it!

Last year I subscribed to a kit club called Scrapbooking From the Inside Out ( http://www.scrapbookingfromtheinsideout.com ) and LOVED it!!! But I was trying to cut down on expenses to I had to stop my subscription for a bit.  However, a year later, I started back up. This scrapbooking/mixed media kit club is like no other.  It is actually therapeutic and has themes each month with writing/journaling prompts, music playlists, thematic quotes, a pinterest idea board, a private facebook community page and so much more! This month's theme is "THRIVE" and this so works for me right now.  I have been working making lists for things I need to work on personally in my art therapy journal.  I will be sharing my work for week 1 of this month's theme. I just took a composition notebook and glued a couple of pages together and gessoed the ones that I was going to art on and left the ones for writing alone. First, I took the writing prompts and just wrote on the paper....

If I can get just 6 friends to buy $50 worth of CTMH stamps, papers,  kits, or other FAB products then I will reach my goal to start my business!  PLUS you can get the gorgeous stamp of the month for only $5!!!!!

  Here are my first two pages from my workshop with Ali Edwards called "One Little Word 2013" through www.bigpictureclasses.com

I am working on two year long projects for 2013.... First, I am taking a class at www.willowing.org called LifeBook 2013.....  It is an art class that has to do with healing, learning new art techniques, and life in general.  It is an EXCELLENT class so far!  Second, I am taking Ali Edward's class at www.bigpictureclasses.com called "One Little Word"......my word this year is JOY.  I intend to bring more JOY into my life this year. This is my first year doing either of these classes and I think it will be so much fun!  Love the teachers so far and I will be posting pics of my work as soon as I can. I also have been subscribed to Studio Calico's scrapbook kit club for the past two months and love it!  I am also signed up for their Project Life kit club with Becky Higgins.  Can't wait to get my first kits of the year!  I have been sooooooo busy with the holidays and trying to decide which road 2013 will take me down that I haven't had ti...
