You Can Make Anything by Writing!

Hi everyone! Welcome October!!

I am excited and honored to let you know that I will remain a part of the More Than Words design team!

 

And it's October 1st and time for the More Than Words October Main Challenge!

Just to let you know, More Than Words is an art journal challenge site that contains a word inspiration and a creative challenge. Both need to be incorporated into your art journal page. 

 This month's Main Challenge:

The word inspiration for September is Write and the Creative Challenge is using Magazines.

Here is my art journal spread:

I love the C.S. Lewis quote "You can make anything by WRITING" and used it here. In addition, I found some old Mary Engelbreit "Home Companion" MAGAZINES (from the year 2000) and fussy cut the paper doll, desk, and easel to complete my page.

And here is a close-up:

And don't forget . . . there are still great prizes to be won!

I hope that you get a chance to check out the More Than Words Main Challenge this month!  I know you will enjoy it.

I am also linking my project up to Art Journal Journey, Monthly.

This month's theme is hosted by Tracey from Hotchpotchcreations and is My Favourite colour is OCTOBER.  Tracey said the following:  "So I ask you to share what you see around you during October, you may be surprised by what it presents if you take a closer look. Use her colours to inspire your journal pages and please do introduce events and celebrations. October, it's a special month for me which holds so many lovely memories... let's make lots more together as you join me @ Art Journal Journey."

Therefore I used the colors of October,  i.e. red, orange, yellow with a touch of green,  to inspire my art journal spread about writing.  I also used magazine clippings from Mary Engelbreit's "Home Companion" from back in October of 2000!  Thank you, Tracey and AJJ, for helping to inspire me to make my pages!!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  HUGS!
