Get Messy | an art journal challenge no. 007

I just totally confused myself.

I originally started this post talking about how I actually started working on another art journal page before remembering Olya’s art journal prompt for October and how I had decided to take on both the art challenge and journaling challenge this month.

Then I just realized that there are five Thursdays in October and that the monthly link-up isn’t until next week.

I told you I was confused right.

Rambling aside, here are my pages based on the October prompts anyway.

Thankful.

This page is based on the art challenge for the month.

Since I have zero artistic ability in any sort of drawing or doodling, I decided to use Amy Tangerine’s die cuts to illustrate the things I’m thankful for: food in the form of ice cream, nature, or being outdoors, and love.

Counting blessings.

I used some clear stamps from Heidi Swapp for the journaling challenge. I stamped in Brilliance silver ink and used a regular black pen to write the things I’m thankful for. Nice and simple.

I really enjoyed the challenge this month and had fun interpreting the prompts.

And oh, I’ll try to be less confused next week/month, ha.
