Thank you Jenny!
Yay! I love these milestones and the opportunity to reflect. They are bittersweet, aren’t they? Also, I think it’s really cool how you are telling stories with your art, giving some insight into how your art journal page is made and sharing what inspired it.
Thank you Angie! And thank you for noticing. It takes a bit longer when you combine art making, story telling and child rearing (which is why I only post a couple of times a week), but I do love this format.
Adorable! I LOVE your page and the little birthday boy looks SO cute there – I bet he loves this page too 🙂 – and the cling wrap technique is so cool. I hope it’s a wonderful day full of cake and balloons!
AND thank you for your comment to me – you are so sweet – I really appreciate you, xoxo
Thank you Kristin! The cling film technique is so easy, but gives such fantastic results. It’s a classic, but I love it!
this is so sweet!!! Love love loveit!
