Art Journaling-Monthly Muse-June 2019-Numbers-Week #2-August:Number 8

I Just Wanted To Say "Thank You!" For All The Positive Feedback & Comments On My Week #1 Monthly Muse Layout...I Really Appreciate All The Love...Thanks! For The Grace...Perhaps The Number 11 Wasn't Big Enough...But For This Challenge I Made Sure My Number "8" Was Huge!!!...My Birthday Is In August On Obviously The 11th...I Wasn't Sure Exactly What I Was Gonna Go With A Lot Of My Stash Still In Limbo...I Really Needed Some Specific Kits To Complete The Layout That I Had In Mind...But There Are Always Other Ways To Go...So Instead I Went With NBK's New Wildflowers & My Recent Purchase Of The "After The Rain"...Lilypad-Collab Plus A Few Extra Pieces From Non-Lilypad Designers...

Ultimately I Decided To Showcase A Few Things Associated With August...Firstly...My Love Of Poppies!...My Favorite Flower Hands Down & I Love Having The Opportunity To Showcase Poppies Any Chance I Get....I Used One Poppy From The Wildflowers Collection...Along With A Photo I Had...Plus I Extracted One From Another Pic That I Had...Plus Another Red Flower Pic I Had...Not Sure Exactly What Kind Of Flower That One Is...But The Extraction Looked Really Good...So I Went With It...I Have Also Chosen To Showcase My Love Of Flowers In General...I Can't Get Enough Of Those Other Bright,Beautiful,Sweet Blooms!...I Also Love All Things Spring/Summer...Like The Green Grass,Blue Skies,Sunshine,Umbrellas,Ladybugs & Birds...All Of Which Are Showcased Here In This Layout...I Couldn't Find The Right Butterfly That Looked Good Or I Would Have Included One Too!...Lastly...I Decided To Do A List Type Thing To Tie Everything In Together & Fill Up The Last Few Spaces By Mentioning That I Am The "Leo" Astrological Sign For August...The Word August...& The Name Of My Favorite Flowers...Poppies...Just For A Quick Mention...I Used 6 Different Papers Blended Together To Create My Perfectly Colored Background...
