Art Journal Entries

I am a little behind in my art journal and normally things like this stress me out.  But, not with this journal because it is such an enjoyable, no-pressure project.  I may be a little behind, but I'll have fun catching up.  These are my two latest entries.

For entry #6, Elise asked us to focus on our relationship with color.  How cool is that?  What a fabulous prompt.  I love color, so here is my entry...my ode to color.

Here is my full-page spread:

And the photograph page:

The journaling:

And a close-up detail shot:

Entry #7 involved making a bold statement.  That is another fantastic subject to photograph, think about and journal about.  I am not sure how 'bold' my statement is, but it is appropriate for me.

Here is the full-page spread:

And the photograph page:

I used magnetic letters to spell 'life' on our refrigerator and then photographed it.  In Photoshop, I added the text, 'is good.'

And the journaling page:

And the close-up detail shot:

All of these prompts would make fabulous stand-alone scrapbook pages.  So even if you are not participating in this art journal project, check out Elise's paper adventure link and you will find lots of inspiration!

Hi, Melissa. A commenter above asked about which font you used for your title, but I'd like to know what font you used for your journaling. Such a nice, clean font! Would you mind letting me know? Thanks!

So beautiful! I have a photo of the magnetic letters that I took to photoshop--great minds think alike! Except, I haven't exactly shopped it yet. So, don't stress out, you are ahead of me! :)

As always, your pages are so lovely and simple and inspiring (yummy too). You've totally inspired me to take up these challanges. Can you please share the name of the font you used on the titles for these entries? Thank you for sharing your work with us.
