M3 Sept challenge #1: 3 words SHINE-BRAVE-SOUL

Thank you so much. Apparently they hadn't had time to activate my account. I guess I got excited and jumped the gun. It is working now, though.

 

Here is my take. It was tough for me. It is only the 2nd Art Journal page I have done, and I am feeling a bit exposed. My younger son was recently diagnosed with a fatal condition, and I am really struggling. This was a good opportunity to express some of that.

 

I chose the word 'brave'

 

I recently gave up my job of nine years.I had never been happy there, but the massive change it involved making in my life turned out to be quite stressful. But I came through it and now have a new job in which I am very happy. So my page is all about being brave when I never dreamt I would need to be.

 

This is for my youngest son, who's one special little snowflake ...

 

hey hey...amazingly awesome pages!!!!!!
I ended up doing 3 pages- 2 of them are with the Add Ons mainly, so I went to this 3rd one with all mixed (including Sept main kit)

 

Page inspired by my little granddaughter Charley who watches Princess Sofia on television and told me I had a "brave heart" when she gave me a checkup!

 

SO my husband deals with depression quite frequently. It has caused some tremendous upheaveal in our family over the years. This past year I have learned that my feelings and emotions do not have to mirror his. This week he has really struggled, but I have been having a great week and it has been hard to just allow myself to be happy for myself while still loving him - but it is possible. His darkness does not have to cover my light.

 

LOVE M3!

 

I wanted to make the page look like when I would color a page with crayon... then cover it all in black crayon... then scrape some off to see the colors underneath... (that is what this mask reminded me of ). But I love AJ and hiding journaling under other techniques... so I wrote under the black as well...

fun challenge - great inspiration in the forums as always!!
