inspiration monday - Happy Memorial Day!

on this Memorial Day, 

we're remembering the fallen heroes who

have fought and sacrificed 

for our many freedoms and liberties.....

and with grateful hearts, we pray

for the safety of all those who
so bravely continue to do so.

inspiration monday

for those days when you want to do something a little different in your journal,
all you need to do is pull out some of those photos that you've taken recently!
choose your favorite photo and trace the image onto tracing paper......

then transfer your drawing to a carving block, and
carve away your pencil lines.

after you've finished carving,  apply your favorite ink and

stamp your image onto your journal page......

and once you've added some finishing touches,  you've got a
colorful journal page that was inspired by your very own photo collection!

i hope you find yourself in one of your favorite creative spaces this
weekend.......doing all the things you truly love!
