A Beary Good Lesson

I was inspired by the FarmQuest Challenge where the theme is 'Bears.'  Again, a fun country theme I couldn't pass up!  What's more country than fishing?  This bear seems to be reeling them in!  Still plenty of time to play along!  

I was inspired to create an Index Journal Card for my Journal Box.  Here is a pic of the back of the card where there is plenty of room to journal some thoughts!  My thoughts are about fishing and how some days one really needs patience!  Seems I've needed more lately and these are some feelings I might want to explore through some journaling!

Wondering how I put this together in Cricut Design Space?  Check out the video below!

Elegant or Rustic? at Twisted Thursday

   It's time for a new challenge over at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday and the optional twist is:  "Elegant or Rustic?"  Now, that's not a tough one for me!  My projects seldom sit on the classic side of elegance!  However, I wouldn't say they are truly rustic for the most part.  

So, let's go with Elegantly Rustic! 

I created this layout using the beautiful artwork of Julia Spiri.  If you've not seen her lovely art, you can see it here.  She is very talented with so many styles...all of them so creative!  This particular image is sepia, but it also comes in grey scale and grey scale light.  (I am in no way connected with Ms Spiri, I just enjoy sharing info about artists/images I really like!)  

Interested in knowing more about my embellishments for my journals?  Check out this video.
