seed hearts and blooms

this is Thursdays prompt for the art journaling class that i'm taking.   i had  a little trouble with this one, but i do like the way the page turned out.  it should have a more surreal feel to it.  i think i'm gonna use another image and try this again.
this image is from La Vie Claire, and the cool thing is that the quote came with it. it describes how i've felt lately creating these pages.  i'm not sure that my art journal pages are so beautiful, but i have been very pleased with them and i can't tell you how much fun this class is.   i told the instructor, Marit,   that i was afraid that i was not going to enjoy this class because i didn't think i would be able to keep up with the other girls.i thought it was going to add move stress to my already stressed out days.  but no. nope, no no.  our class is made up of the nicest ladies.  i feel so comfortable and safe.  we are all learning from each other. we give each other constructive criticism,  and Marit is on the spot, ready to answer any questions we have.  thanks Jocelyn for inviting me to take this class with you.

the quote says:  "find the seed at the bottom of your heart and bring forth beautiful flowers."
 

 

i had fun playing with these collage makers from Smilebox andPicnik.
there will be more to come for sure.

well, todays prompt is posted,  so i'm off to see what i can get my hands dirty with.
