hi my fellow mini art journallers! it was SO COOL meeting some of you over the weekend and seeing your cards in real life! the different sizes and textures and little bits and pieces that get missed in a scan/photo - it really made me all tingly and happy to be able to look through them in real life.
i have missed having a 'normal sunday' for the past few weeks and being able to do my cards...it was impossible to get online yesterday and tonight (as i type this from my mums computer, HOME in perth!) i had planned to post my 'spare' card i made a few weeks ago...but it just doesn't feel right! i guess it is kind of selfish of me but i always like to come up with a theme or prompt that is something relevant to my week or something that has been on my mind, that way the creating comes naturally to me and it feels more from my heart. so...it is so so late and i am completely exhausted from, well, everything basically! so i am going to go to beddy byes in my OLD BEDROOM tonight! after i moved out of home it became my brothers bedroom (actually i came home from our honeymoon to discover he had packed everything up and moved it all into the corridor himself without anyone's help...i think he was excited to get his own bedroom finally - although i was mad he went through all my stuff!), and now that he is gone from home too it is a pretty guestroom. so i want to make my card about my old room and the memories i have of it, the fiascos and fun that went on in there throughout my teenage years, sleepovers and homework and hissy fits and piles of clothes and my handpainted walls. i'll make my card tomorrow and edit it into this post.
so this weeks prompt is: your bedroom.
current or old, it surely holds some special memories or decor that can be elaborated on for your card this week...
i covered the card in paper and sewed a little vellum envelope onto the card to hold a bunch of journalling notes...the little birdcage image is cut from a post-it-note and taped on, leter stickers are making memories.
I'm really loving your challenge and how you portait each card. I unfortunately am not very arty but creative. I am at this stage only up to card 14. Thank you for taking the time each week to set this challenge. You can view all of my cards on my blog. Again thank you.
