Stencil Blessings

Paula Phillips, AKA Journal Artista, is running a contest. Simply use a stencil in your art journal, then link to her blog.

I've been watching her show on UStream for a while and have really enjoyed it and have really been inspired. It's kind of like taking a personalized class...for free! :-)

So here's my page. I've got several layers of paint going on...mostly sage green and various pinks. There are bits of ripped floral paper hiding in there too. I bought a set of die cut scrapbook pages that I will use as really cool stencils. I LOVE the numbers!

Now I just have to work on writing with a paintbrush. ;-) The quote is my take on a marquee sign at a church I pass every day on my way home. This week it says, 'Count your day as blessed.' I think that's easy to do. I think it's harder to see God's everyday blessings in your life, unless you take the time to look for them. I'll probably journal lists of everyday blessings as I go along.


Thanks for stopping over here today!
