art journal challenge - week 13
i never really know where the card is going to take me until i start making it on sundays...its always a surprise!
remember, you don't have to follow my prompt...if you are itching to do something or your card takes you in a different direction...go with it! its all about YOU :)
this weeks prompt is: whats on your mind?
i am leaving in 9 more sleeps for NZ, and then onto australia...so 'home' is really on my mind at the moment. planning what we will do in our short time back there, wondering how i will feel when i'm back, remembering all the little details of where we lived.
paper and sticker i bought a loooong time ago in australia and am not sure who makes either. little letter stickers are making memories, and photo is me sitting at my favourite beach pre-dreadlocks!
happy creating and have a great week!



Its so exciting to see my home flag being flown proudly!! Hope you have a lovely trip home!! Beautiful photo too!!
I'll put my card up soon! Been hanging all week for your next prompt! I think its a great idea that we can follow your prompts or use our own inspiration, but I just LOVE waiting for your beautiful cards!!

I LOVE all your fun stitching everywhere! That is a wonderful photo too. I'm so excited for you to go back home. I hope it's not too hard coming back to LA afterwards. I know just what I'll do for this week's prompt. As far as last week's I just finished it during conference today. :)

Another beautiful card, Emily, and another great challenge ;) This one was easy for me, since I am leaving on a trip to Hawaii tomorrow and have had that on my mind A LOT lately! It's finished, but, I still haven't started last week's! I'm going to have a lot of catching up to do when I get home...

I love how sometimes your prompt is taking me to a serious side of me (week 13) and sometimes to a funny side (week 12). Can't wait till the end of the 52 weeks and see them all finished. First quarter done, still love it!
And you must be so excited to go back home. I checked out the workshops you and the other girls are gonna teach, they look awesome! Hope you enjoy the trip, the feeling of being home again and all the things you're gonna do down under.
