Time for another Art Journal page.  I've been having a hard time with my art journaling lately. I think I was getting so hung up on the techniques that I forgot the purpose. Granted one of my goals was to learn PSE, but the main reason was to rediscover me through journaling and exploring my creative side.

So for this page I went back to the basics.  I wrote my journaling first and then extracted photos, creating the visual story to go with my journaling. It just seem to flow together and I was very happy with how it turned out.

And then I was notified this evening that my page is going to be included in the gallery highlights feature at Tangie Baxter.Com this week.  Woohoo! You should click the link and check out some of the amazing art journaling pages people are creating.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

I stated at the beginning of the year that I joined the Art Journal Caravan 2012 as an incentive to learn PSE.  I made myself promise that all LOs would be done in PSE.  Each time I do a LO I try to learn a new skill or experiment with an action or effect.  For this LO I played around with drop shadows and text shapes.  I tried using varying depths of shadows to give the feel of the ocean moving, kind of like the way old puppet shows would do their stage sets. 

Today I received notice that my LO was being featured at

for this week's caravan highlights.  I was so surprised and honored.  The funny part is this isn't even the LO I wanted to create when I first started it...LOL.  I am learning so much on this journey, not just about PSE but also about myself, too.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find time to create today!
