Hi, I am so happy to be here again with our creative team.  First of all, I want to thank you for your support, your comments, and likes, it means a lot to me, keeps me inspired and motivated.

For today’s project, I decided to create something simple and easy to do.  We love to spend time creating, painting, or collaging but we’re women, we’re mothers, we’re wives, we don’t always have physically the time for making things.

It’s true that as long as I finish my daily practice, it doesn’t matter how much time I spent in my studio, I feel like I am at peace with myself and relaxed. Let’s called it our self-care time.

Journaling has soon become a “can’t do without” practice for me and in this project, we can do it in many stages, one day preparing our surface, another choosing and trimming subjects to add, and the last one, finishing passages and embellishing.

I immediately fell in love with these two collage packs “Persian Patterns” and “Ornate alphabet” and already got new ideas on where to use them  (because practicing is like that, the more you do the more you got) but we’ll see it later.

  Enjoy the Video!
