Art Journaling with Places in the Heart

So for this week's A.O.S workshop we are using this new great kit by Outside the Box called Places in the Heart its one of those kinds of kits that I just love and had to make a few layouts with it. OTBDS also has been collaborating with Precepts & Promises. Here is their part of Places in the Heart by Precepts & Promises  Here is what I came up with by using both parts of the collab.

Eyes to Heart

Life is Good

Heart Song

Families are Forever

Express Me

I also have been creating with Outside the Box's new kit Asian Persuasion ARC Kit along with using images by Itkupilli:

Art Journal Caravan Week 5 ~ Life is too Short to be Small

We are on week 5 of the Art Journal Caravan. I am so far behind, I have the first three weeks to do yet, but with all my CT work, my college work and doing two workshops...I'm moving kind of slow!!!!

So we had some great prompts this week, but I chose "Life is too Short to be Small"  First thing that popped into my head was Rosie the Riveter. LOVE her! She is such a strong icon for a military spouse, symbolizing that "We Can Do It" attitude.  I wanted to incorporate that strength, with the support of our soldiers and patriotism.  I also wanted to keep it simple. I tend to overwhelm with elements so I had to really work hard not to do that with this layout.
