Digital Art Journaling

I am tickled pink to be in Jessica Sprague's newest class - Digital Art Journaling. I tend to be a "clean" crafter - both my traditional layouts & digital layouts in addition to cards and hybrid projects are relatively simple without a lot of fuss. (Note that clean does not refer to the state of my craft studio.) Today was day two of this class and I have slowly started moving out of my comfort zone.



I have never created an art journal the 'traditional' way - so the overall concept is very new to me. I am enjoying the opportunity to express myself and to be creative in such a fun way!

The class lessons are fabulous and the inspiration that is being shared is fabulous. Our first prompt was 'heart', here is my completed page. There are subtle images throughout this page which relate to my family and home.....which is where my heart is.....(another really fun partof the class is that we had a custom font made of our own handwriting, mine is shown below in the four lines of text next to the "sun")




Today's prompt was "treasure" - following up on yesterdays heart prompt, I immediately thought of Matthew 6:21 ~For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.




I am looking forward to future lessons over the course of the next 4 weeks. When the class is over, I should have 20 pages and will create a printed book.


If you have not taken classes at www.jessicasprague.com, I strongly encourage it! She offers wonderful online digital classes for the beginner all the way to the advanced 'scrapper'. There are also some great photography classes (one of which I am waiting to be offered again)


I hope that you find time during the week to express your own creativity. And take time to enjoy all the treasures of your heart...by the Shore.
