Recently I've been spending lots more time in my art journal and having a blast... I bought a new journal that I had brought on vacation with me in July and since then I'm finding that I've using it to do art based on what inspired me on Sunday morning, whether it was the worship set or the message at church or if we don't go to church I'll use something that inspired me in our family worship time or morning Bible reading... I'm finding that I don't have a lot of time for actually playing in my journal, so I've been spending 15 minutes a day adding to it... so I think I'm going to start sharing my pages on Sundays from the week before... here is my spread for last Sunday... I was inspired by some of the words in the worship set and went in the back to grab the words because I was too moved to worship than write the words down and I wanted them :)

I actually used a paper scrapping sketch for my inspiration and had some modeling paste and paint markers I wanted to play with... I used my Silhouette Portrait to cut some yummy Donna Downey cut files from some transparency paper and used it with some modeling paste to create the flower bunch on the left side... I also got some yummy stencils by Ronda Palazarri that I couldn't resist using... They are definitely my new favorites and must haves...

and here's the Paper Issues sketch I was inspired by:
