Art Journal - Blessed

 Hi,

Today I`m back with a colorful double page art journal layout that has a very personal meaning to me.

This layout represents my children and how blessed I feel having them in my life. The three hearts hangind from the sign pole are my boys and the little pink heart is my little angel and my first pregnancy where I went into labour to early. When I got pregnant again I praid for a boy and now I`m blessed with tree. I wanted this layout to be bright, happy and colorful because this is my story and I feel so lucky to be blessed as a boys mom of three.

To get the fun and happy colorful page I wanted I used Dylusions paints both on my background and on my hearts and leafs. For my background I applyed the color with a baby-wipe and then dabbed on the same color using a Tim Holz stencil. I then stamped around randomly with a script stamp using blue distress ink. For my heart and leafs I colored up some paper in the colors I wanted and used my scissors to cut out the hearts and used Lorelai Leaf die from Poppystamps for the leafs.

For the sign pole I sketched out the shape I was going for with my pencil on some wood texture papers from Simple Stories. I used an eyelet to put them together and threaded it with some twine. On the ends I tied in some Tim Holtz typed tokens with the words "Story" and "Lucky" and I think they where just perfect here.

I also used some twine to hang my three hearts from the sign, and I think it really adds some interest 

to my page.

This is actually the first page in my Dylusions art jounal that I saved to do this personal layout on, and I`m really happy with how this turned out. Hope you like it as much as I do.
