JANUARY - blues

Thirty days has September, April , June and November.

Unless leap year is its fate, 

February has twenty-eight.

But all the rest have tree days more,

...

...

...

excepting January, wich has six thousand one hundred and eighty-four.

This spread is about all these wonderful things to expect and look forward to, once January has passed.

More colours, a brighter sun .... all these "things" waiting for their time to shine.

I `ve used acrylics , posca-pens,  templates (Kate crane and Birgit Koopsen) from Carabelle Studio , a lovely stamp from Gummiapan and different die-cuts from Elisabeth Craft Design. 

Take care, out there!

Thoughts in a journal.

 Reading Magnus Fridhs book about calmness I started filling this page with "the essence" of his words.

The background is acrylic, rub-ons and Birgit Koopsens stamp "rainbow is my favorite color".

We need to have faith!

 Another page (no 2 out of 4) where I have used painted elements in a collage. I love to put it all together and use my sewingmachine to finish it of.

This one is called "have faith" because we all need to have faith in something;

It could be having faith in God, in your body, recovery, friendship, succes, good times coming... anything!  

Take care out there!

It is ok to feel sad.

 

An art journal page inpired by France Papillon and our January weather in Luxembourg.

And I do think it is important to allow ourselves to feel sad once in a while.

Here I`ve used the stamps Daniel Torrentes "Friend" and Birgit Koopsens "rainbow is my favorite color" .

The background is inspired by France Papillon as she shows her "a layer a day" on You-tube.

Wishing you a lovely January - time for happiness as well as for sadness ( if needed).

Take care out there!

Be patient...

 

 

... easy to say - difficult to achieve.

I love to color stamped images with neocolors, cutting apart and then putting it all together. 

My first "mantra" in 2022.

It is hard to be patient. I try.

Stay safe out there!
