Good morning! A new week ahead, lots of possibilities waiting for us. Hope you had a great weekend. I can say my weekend was an artsy one!
On Friday afternoon, after grocery shopping, I stopped by a craft store. It was a grey day and I needed something to brighten it.
I got these gorgeous washi tapes, I can’t resist them! I’ve many but I always need more!
Saturday evening I joined an Instagram Art Party – MarGlueBookParty, where we have prompts and make art pages using collage.
Prompt 1: Springtime
Prompt 2: Yellow butterfly
Prompt 3: Let’s dance!
I love to see how I used yellow in all my pages. Yellow means happiness, and it was the colour stealing my attention that evening. A good sign for sure!
Sunday morning I woke up thinking about lightness, the feeling of it!
I thought the feeling of lightness should be as the scent of oranges on a hot summer day. I got out my sweet orange essential oil and smelled it! Yes, it’s lightness and freshness all together.
Take a flying leap at the sun.
Don’t let your thoughts weigh you down

Being by myself, in solitude, a few minutes in the morning is necessary for setting up my mood for the day.
Yesterday, before getting up, I heard another snow storm was coming. Instead of stressing out and hurrying up to arrive at the work before the storm hits the city, I slowed down and spent some time journaling and doing some art.
I needed this time to focus on myself before opening the door to the chaos outdoors.
I followed my mantra: Stop; Breathe; Listen
In the end, I had a pleasant day and enjoyed the walk in the snow feeling the wind and the flakes touching my face.
Instead of complaining, I was grateful for that moment.
Have you stopped and thought what are you grateful for in this moment?
Have a great Thursday!

It isn’t only about acceptance, but understanding, transforming and adapting.
This is the first page I worked on after few days without any mood for journaling. I posted here about my feelings these last days, lots of up and downs and insecurities.
Well, it is the weekend, hoping to have lots of me time for journaling.
Have a great weekend!

Saturday morning, I’m spending time in my studio being crazy with my art pages.

I’ve been art journaling since 2013, and now I think I’ve finally figured out my style for art journal pages. Here are a few things that I love to have on my pages:
- Color – I prefer to use acrylic than water-color medium
- Images – Mostly from magazines, but children books are a great asset as well
- Words – A must!
- Messy – Yes to freedom!
It’s funny, I always try to change things but always go back to what makes comfortable and my creativity can fly free.
And you? How is your creativity doing?
