Hello Fabulous Friends! Welcome to Day #4 of Growing in Unity. I am so happy that you are here, especially today, because I am sharing my very first art journal page. I'm going to let you in on a little secret...I have had this blank Dyan Reaveley journal for about two years now, never having touching it with any ink. I had been so apprehensive about doing an art journal. I don't know why I was so intimidated. Maybe it's because I've seen Dyan's pages, Dina Wakeley's pages, amongst others and they're fabulous. No way will mine be as grand as theirs. But this is not the point, is it? Art journaling is not a competition. It's not about comparing. It's about self-expression. It's about artistic freedom. It's a catharsis. It's not about who's going to like it. It's yours...it's your journey...not anyone else's. If you have been hesitant about embarking on your own journey, don't. It was so freeing, therapeutic, so cleansing.
All of the stamps on this page are by Unity. Here is a list of stamp sets used:
1. Colliope
2. Shescript
3. Vintage Era Background Kit
4. Holly Hocks
5. Purely Entwined
6. Pixie Sprigs
7. Wild poppy silhouette
