Published in Somerset Studio's ART Journaling magazine gallery section Spring 2014!

Great news! Some of my journal pages were selected to be published in one of my favorite magazines..........ART Journaling!!

Stampington & Company is such a wonderful resource for artists who create in many different mediums. You can find this magazine and more on their website @ http://stampington.com.

The first page of the gallery section has little snippets of what you will see in the coming pages. Mine is on the far right (birdies on a branch)

Here is the two page layout.........yay!

I'm so happy with the results!

Here is a closeup of the first page:

I created this page after being outside one day early in the morning. I was watching birds on a branch of this bush and they were so cute, just kinda hanging around. I was feeling overwhelmed by life and that's where the sentiment came from. "Birdies on a branch, how lucky you are...........you can just fly away." I wanted to be one of those birds.

The truth that I have learned and accepted in my life by faith is expressed in the next page below:

You cannot judge God's faithfulness or love for you based upon what good or bad things He allows in your life. Just believe.

 The last page and the most emotional for me was based upon the loss of my sweet daughter, Emma Grace who was 6-1/2 months old in my womb when she died.

Ever since I was a kid, art and many different forms of it has brought such comfort and joy into my life. Being published in this magazine is such a blessing. My heart is filled with gratitude.
