Get Messy | an art journal challenge no. 008

I was one week too early for October’s prompt last week, but I decided to challenge myself and use the same prompt again this week. So you get double the inspiration for this month’s prompt 😉

One thing I love about Get Messy is how I get to channel my inner minimalist, as evident in this week’s pages.

Oui, chef!

This page is for the art journal challenge: we constantly have an abundance of food, which is a huge part of our lives, so that is definitely something I’m thankful for. Plus, I also really wanted to use the adorable stamps from Kelly Purkey’s Bon Appetit set.

In everything give thanks.

There is always so much to be thankful for, and I wanted to document this reminder to be thankful in all things.

While I am not a fan of my handwriting, I decided to use it for this week’s page. So I sketched out the lettering on a piece of scrap paper and used a Sharpie to write it out. It isn’t perfect, but I’m glad that I managed to include my handwriting somewhere.
