Quiet Nights: 3 & 4

Man, I'm slacking on my art journaling! The class is already at day 9 of 15 and I've only done 4...But that's what makes Quiet Nights so great. I go at my own pace and I'm so inspired by the others in this class and their entries. Everyone is so creative...SO much stuff to be inspired with.

Day 3: Be Still My Heart

I didn't really know what to journal about this. Then I thought about when we first got our dog when he was a puppy. How he just took my heart and ran and never gave it back. Such a pansy, but we love him.

Be Still My Heart

How could you NOT love that face?

Day 4: Wishes

This image I found was perfect... I love how she's holding the world in her hands. And I left room to add to this list.

Today was the perfect day to journal. It's so crappy outside. But I had work to do. Oh well. There's plenty of time and plenty for me to catch up with!

When you're inspired...

...you just have to keep going! Quiet Nights Assignment 2: Blissful.

When I hear the word blissful, the first thing that comes to mind is quality time with my husband. Second thing that comes to mind is Hawaii, of course. So, inspired by my bliss, I give you:

Oahu, HI

Where we always

dream to be. We

are most content

here. There's

just no better

place. Here

with my love,

is where I am

the most...

BLISSFUL.

Escape

First assignment from Polka Dot Robot's Quiet Nights art journal class: Escape. It was pretty appropriate for my first day not having a "real job." I'm pretty excited to keep up with these assignments. Wanna see what I did? Well, here you go:

TODAY is the

first day since I

from a 9-5...

...oh, the possibilities...

 Here are some of the page details:

(I'm really into the flourishes right now, I guess. I got my Japanese masking tape from Ginko Papers, in case you were wondering.)

  

(I love this yellow and white bake's twine I had on hand. It went really well with my color scheme. And the paper airplane pattern on this scrapbook paper--LOVE! It came from Cosmo Cricket's The Boyfriend Collection.)

 

(It's amazing the amount of inspiration you can find in a magazine.)

So there you have it! This was so much fun and therapeutic! I'm actually late on starting the second assignment. Thankfully this is a go-at-your-own-pace class. My kind of class! Stay tuned for Assignment Two!
