inspiration journal...

i've been fascinated with the concept of mixed media for a couple of years now.  part of the reason i fell in love with it was watching inspiration wednesday by donna downey.  every wednesday she would post a video of her doing a page in her journal.  her process from start to finish.  (see more here) i've learned a lot and have been amazed at what she can create.  this year, she mixed it up a bit and now it's more a class where you make your own inspiration journal and do a page every other week.

i actually braved it and sewed my own journal.  turned out pretty ok, despite some crooked lines of sewing. but i think it gives it a little character!


this is my first page, which i incorporated my one little word of 2015.  i actually used my silhouette to make the stencil for the word "brave" and the little bird.
