Monday Morning on Thursday

"Simple things are best," says the most complex person I know.  So i will begin by sharing the journal cards that I made.  I was trying to enter the February PixelScrappers "Rustic Charm" blog train but I did not understand that I needed to reserve a place on the list and chat regularly about my progress in the forums.  I said I was going to enter it, and when I was ready the day before it was to open, entries were closed.  I offered to post it somewhere else in the forum so that they could have it and to critique it for me, but no reply. It is a very friendly little clique, but I am an outsider who does not chat in the forums, nor do I make layouts nor am I an established designer.  And I use an iPad!  Gotta say that I love my iPad.

The theme for the kit came from this painting:

and here are the journal cards:

Journal Cards

Monday Morning.

Monday Morning.

Every day feels like Monday morning to me.  With a bad case of the flu.  Yep, that is how I feel everyday because I have fibromyalgia.  To cope with the pain, I taught myself to draw and paint with my iPad.  My favorite things to make were line drawings that would work as adult or advanced coloring pages.  They covered a wide range of styles and eras.  Most are based on little things I found in public domain magazines.  I also liked to make simpler line drawings that could work as stained glass patterns.  I posted everything in Flickr, but with a blog, I can save as PDFs.

And now I have discovered digital scrap booking!  More fun things to create and share!   Aloha for now.  When I return, I will share some journal cards that I recently made.
