Still Working on this Page
I was struggling with this page. I put the background and the focal image down. Then it seemed like the focal was HUGE and I didn't know what else I wanted to add. So, I sorted through my stash and found some text to add. Glued those down. Got stuck again. It's been one of those blah days the past 24 hours (not a bad day just the kind of day when you feel like crawling in bed with a book and doing nothing else). I decided to walk away from the page a bit and go do other stuff. I came back to it a bit later and thought of my stencils from Crafters Workshop:

I grabbed a Sakura glaze pen and went to town coloring in bits of the stencil onto the page. Then I added some stickers, stabilo woody 3 in 1 pencil work, tape and am now stepping away from it again. I want to add journaling to it but have a million things going through my head at the moment and limited time. For now, it's being left as is until I can find some time later on to finish it up.
Art doesn't have to be created in long stretches of time. Five to ten minute chunks spread out and grabbed when you can get them, are just as good as any hour long studio art making spree.

Thanks, Emie
But for me, I think that was the problem. The change in routine, having DH sitting right next to me as I journaled, worrying that he was looking over my shoulder, etc. Last night I finally did a page that felt "right." It was great! lol
