This week's prompt for Illustration Friday was "idle". I found this great quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and it was perfect for what I wanted to do...watercolours, a fine line black pen, and a white gel pen were my tools of choice.

This is a 4 x 6 postcard, once again a combination of collage, and my own lettering. I just loved her face.

This is another page in the altered art journal that I have. A little bit of everything, I like to combine my own lettering and doodles with found art. I added beads to the design on the bottom right of the page - the front of a thank you card I received.

I found these great key chains at Dollarama...lots of funky designs, great for adding my own art!

I used markers and watercolour pencils to create my N.

(And for anyone in Edmonton, it was the Dollarama just south of Whyte Avenue.)

This is the Father's Day Card that I made for my husband Todd. It is a sliding card which is so cool, because when you pull the ribbon, the panels come out of either side revealing the message....

certainty

A blissful art journaling prompt...
"I know this, for sure... "
make it a statement about something I know with certainty - that guides my decisions and shapes my life. An easy one for me - how lucky I am!
