I love Crash Your Stash Thursday videos. It is so much fun to crash your own stash for art supplies that may not get as much use as some of the others. When I started my project, I dug through my paint drawer and found these gorgeous Pebeo paints that I have hardly used – I bought them years ago for bible journaling. They came in a set of rainbow colors so immediately I knew I wanted to create a bright, colorful rainbow for my focal point on my page. I love rainbows because they are so cheerful and anytime I see one in the sky, immediately my mood is lightened. I also grabbed some of my first ever Shawn Petite stencils to uses as well. I love all things text and the quatrefoil is my favorite pattern. It’s always good to pull things out you love if you are finding it hard to create which I’ve honestly been struggling with these past few months. This hasn’t been an easy year for any of us, anywhere on the planet and I struggle when I’m distraught or disheartened to find a place and space to create but I’m so grateful I did today. No matter where you are in the world we can all dream of beauty and hopefully of a better world than the one today. I’m grateful for the time and space to think in my art journals because it’s a safe place to let out any of the feelings I might be dealing with. I sometimes forget that the best thing I can do for myself and my loved ones to take a moment to crack open a page in a journal and put down my thoughts and some paint. It’s ok to find solace and peace within those pages as our hands shape our supplies into something of beauty. I hope you will take time this week to crash your own stash and make your own dreams of beauty! Thank you so much for watching my video today for a little inspiration to fill your day!
