The first page for a new album project over the next several weeks thru Thanksgiving and into Christmas to focus on gratitude. Decided on an Art Journal approach to the project and of course simple words and WordART to speak some messages to myself. Hoping to then print as a coffee table book and remind myself of gratitude during 2016..maybe Ive already chosen my one little word!

gratitude message-
one
single
grateful
thought raised
to heaven is
the most
perfect
prayer.

Page process
The LT was manipulated a bit by resizing and rearranging of a few layers and frames.
Paperie was clipped to the Frame Masks
WordART and words and quotes were combined
Brushes and transfers were blended into the design
WarmGlows were blended in using the saturation blending mode
Simple and muted and relaxing was the process.

thanks for lookingdonna
