Hi there everyone. Happy February. Can you believe that it is February first?
So I have some exciting news to share. I got an email from Elizabeth and Yvonne asking if I would like to join them as a co-administrator at Art Journal Journey That was an unexpected surprise, but I would love to join them. I hope I can be a productive member of the team, and I look forward to all the fun.
And I want to give a huge shout out and say "Thank you ladies for thinking of me".
So this month Elizabeth is our lovely host, and her theme is HEARTS. I love hearts as a shape and I created this page for my first heart themed page.
I started my page attaching this polka dot napkin to some watercolor paper. Then I added a bit of ink spray. The big felt heart came from a packet I picked up at Hobby Lobby, and I created the flower design by wrapping some wired leaves around an old paint brush and attached the flower with a brad. Finally I stamped the sun face and also the quote.
I hope you have lots of hearts to share with us at Art Journal Journey, and I look forward to see your art journaling.
Thanks so much for visiting.
A beautiful heart journal, fascinating the style!
ReplyDeleteHave nice Day, Elke
Have fun at AJJ! Your page is lovely, so warm and cosy. But I am not a heart friend, oh dear! I will try to think of something all the same. Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeleteOh, Erika, this is beautiful! (Congrats, too!).
ReplyDeleteThis is very good advise. I did and mostly following my heart was the right decision.
A beautiful piece of art, wish I was a tad creative, too.
This is terrific, Erika, so full of energy That's a super red heart you got and the flower is just right with it. I see there is a little face too, looking contented.

Congratulations Erika, and I love your page-very beautiful!! Hugs Kathy

This is romantic and artsy at the same time. The addition of the flower and leaves to the paint brush was genius. Your heart was awesome, and I was so impressed with this first entry this month. Thanks for sharing it using my theme at Art Journal Journey.

I love hearts so it will be fun to see what you all come up with, Erika!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is the old paintbrush. Given how much we all love to paint and create, this is perfect for a page on hearts! Love the napkin and the felt heart too. Wonderfully done!
