Heart Journaling - week 1

The Greeting Farm is doing a class on art journaling...for the next 23 weeks!  I am super excited because (1) I am one of the 100+ students participating, (2) I've NEVER art journaled before, and (3) I'm finally going to finish a project from start to finish! Ü  So, stop by each week and see what I've created for the class.
Here's the 2 page spread for week 1 - Spread your wings

I've used a variety of acrylic paints and stamps.  I used Penny Black's Cherry Blossom stamp...which I love!  The butterfly punch is from Martha Stewart.  I wanted to use a TGF stamp, so I chose the set Spotlight.  The sentiment I used on the second page says:

" Just living is not enough

said the butterfly.

One must have sunshine, 

freedom, and a little flower"

I wrote a message to myself-Just living is not enough, learn to spread my wings & take chances. Just be Free.  This was so much fun....I can't wait for the next assignment!
