Just a bit of MessyART therapy. I totally believe if we sit down and just let ART unfold on the canvas we even surprise ourselves what happens. It may not always be the most beautiful or perfect page we hoped to create, but what comes forward can be words we need to hear and somehow all the stirring inside find their resting place..that would be the purpose and success of ART Therapy and time well spent on ourselves!Annas kits are called ARTPlay for a reason!!!

Quote- You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live, you learn. You're human, not perfect. You've been hurt, but you're alive. Think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive to breathe, to think, to enjoy, and to be with people you love. Sometimes there is sadness in our journey, but there is also lots of beauty. We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt, for we will never know what is waiting for us just around the bend. (Author unknown)

Page Process-
WELL
Layers of brushes and transfers were randomly placed, The recoloring was chose from the background paper.
The antiquated frames were duplicated and overlapped on one another and then merged together and next a paperie from AP roots was clipped to the frame layer to give it an artsy look
The same clipping process of a paperie or the very cool new LightLeaks were clipped to layers to create artsy look and depth in the page design and often blending modes were applied to take it to the next level.
Overlays- darker color
WordTransfers- vivid light
Simply play and and create something that feels right to you..not what anybody else may like, but what YOU like.you might be very surprised what happens.

thanks for looking..donna
