Summer of Color-BLUE

My friend Kristin has a fabulous creative challenge going on for the next 6 weeks called Summer of Color. I was so excited when I first heard about this but knew with Camp I would be a bit pressed for any creative time.

However, all that changed yesterday when I FINALLY made it to my space. One of my favorite supplies of the moment...

Just looking at these puts me in a happy place;)

When Kristin announced the color of the week as BLUE I knew instantly what I wanted to do...one of my Brave Girls!! I could see her in my mind and she was darling.

But...being stretched for time, making one of these cuties was out of the question. I had to think of something else.

And I did.

With all the camp planning, housework and final soccer games I had very little creative time. And for me art is like air...I just gotta have it. I was feeling a little down about all of it and thinking about the color BLUE and these lyrics from the 70's kept coming back to me over and over...

"Blue-er than blue
Sadder than sad...."

I created this Art Journal page yesterday afternoon....

putting my thoughts on paper about my need for time alone creating. The red "Be True" stamp is there to remind me to be true to myself.

Along with my journal page I worked on my Soul Restoration 2 journal and am nearly finished with my latest Brave Girl. Here's a peek...
