Tracy Weinzapfel's July Creative Dare

I am a Tracy Weinzapfel fan and she has been doing monthly challenges.  July's Creative Dare was to use your word of the year...I have to admit I never really could make up my mind what word I wanted so never chose one...so I chose one of the words I was thinking of choosing...FAITH.  I found a great quote from Corrie Ten Boom and sat down to create.  I opened my Caran d'Ache Neocolor II and was trying to choose a couple of colors...well as you can tell I have issues with making decision and choosing just one or a couple;) So as I was trying to decide I remembered God using the rainbow as a promise to Noah...alas  my rainbow background....yea and didn't have to choose just a couple of colors!!!!  Here's my finished canvas:

 I am loving how it turned out.  Thanks Tracy for being such an inspiration:)

My Life List Journal

As I mentioned last month, I am taking Tracy Weinzapfel's "Life List Challenge".  Here is one of pages I completed. 

We had Panda Express last week and my fortune cookie read "You are an adventurer", which I thought was just perfect for this page:)

My Life List

I am taking Tracy Weinzapfel's "Life List Challenge".  It will be a place for me to document my dreams and goals.  Here is my cover:

I am hoping to get some pages added this weekend. 

I used Helmar Scrap Dots to make the flower and frame pop out.  It is amazing stuff!  All other products are from Close To My Heart. The paper is Dreamin', which I find quite an appropriate name for this project;)  I love the colors they just make me happy:) 

If you want join this challenge go to Tracy's Blog.

Inspriation Journal

Here's another page form my Inspiration Journal I am doing with Tracy Weinzapfel.  She is such an inspriation and I am really enjoying this journey with her.  

Here's my cover for my album:

I love to follow the many talented artist blogs.  They inspire me to explore my creative side.  I have been following Tracy Weinzapfel's Blog.  She is doing an Inspiration Journal and has inspired me to start one.  Here is a page from mine I did yesterday..

 I drew the sunflowers (my favorite flower...they make me feel so happy)  I painted them with watercolors. 

Hop on over to Tracy's Blog and see her amazing artwork:)
