Loved Jessica Sprague 's Inspiration Everywhere class so much that though I wasn't able to keep pace during the two weeks of class last month, I am still happily working on the class assignments and today I'm sharing the Dedication Page.
Jessica prepared a fun pdf to use for this page, but my mojo was sparked with the combo of her class & Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas and I had to continue diving in, hands on & enjoy the full tactile experience of creating (just as I did for the art journal's cover).
When I saw the pocket Jessica used on her Dedication Page to insert her journaling, I immediately knew what I would use. I have a pile o' old Levi's & other jeans (all sizes, from the kidlets on up to ours) & went running to see what size tush back pocket would work on my page.
I also grabbed this uber cute paper that I've been hoarding for wee girl's scrapbook album (I still have a sheet & a half left, so I didn't de-hoard it all ;>). Isn't it darling?
A bit more patterned paper for the journaling, some acrylic paint, rub-ons, and ink to complete the page. Oh yeah, did I mention the smiles, fun & even a few giggles (courtesy of wee girl working on her own collage beside me)? Because there were!
The journaling for my Dedication Page reads:
Explore.
Seek.
Search.
Find.
Find.
Inspiration.
It is everywhere.
Outside. Inside.
Above. Below.
Friends. Family.
In Print. Online.
Color. Shape.
Texture. Line.
Words. Spoken.
Written. Sights.
Sounds. Smells.
Emotions. Sensations.
Inspiration.
It.
Is.
Everywhere.
Where do you find your inspiration?
Supplies:
Paper: Foofala; K&Company
Rub-Ons: Making Memories; My Mind's Eye
