A bit of ART journaling with a message to myself and maybe you too.

Quote-
Simplicity is not about deprivation. Simplicity is about greater appreciation for things that really matter.

No rules.just play.

Transfers and paperie were clipped to brushes and wordart to create the colors and textures.

Pieces of the psds MultiMedia Suns were layered into the ART design.

I attempted to subtly hade pieces of interest throughout the ART.that may not qualify as simplifying, but it was fun to play.

thanks for lookingdonna
