Thursday, August 1st Art Journal Challenge

Sara, this IS just beautiful! I love the shades of blue and that darling doll! Nice job!! Would make a sweet ATC!!!

I agree. ... nice shades of blue you have used. Lovely piece of art journaling.

Sara, I love your quote. The doll is really lovely and the colors very pretty. I love your layout.

I love it I LOVE it, Sara! You did a wonderful job with this beautiful page. Your background and the colors you used are so soft and pretty and I love how you pieced and blended it all together. And, what a super idea to have your art doll in shades of gray and BW - showing beautiful just IS and always shines through, even without color! I really like the scribbles around the page and your word art is just perfect. Awesome work and thanks for adding a piece of creative YOU to the Thursday Challenge!

Sara, I just love this. And that quote is great.

You did good girl!!! Love the colour on the edges and text and how it lets little you just BE. Your paintwork looks so natural and realistic and I love the sketchy effect you created. This truly is fabulous, and a great quote/thought to remember.

PERFECT! Love the desaturated girl -- whose lack of color insinuates that she feels plain and unattractive. That balanced with your colorful BG and your bold sentiment is a really great example of art journaling. Nice work!!

Great use of color on this art journal page!

Fantastic layout, Sara! And I love that quote -- definitely one to remember and repeat. Beautiful sunny colors, too.

This should be printed out as a poster and hung in prominent places! The colors are lovely, the blending superb and your gray-scale doll wonderful - but oh, the message here is awesome.

This is stunning - I love the sketched lines and the paintwork - they make it feel really 'artsy'. Beautiful quotes and word art too.

Great work Sara. The painted blues, pencil lines and the gray scale doll are awesome together. Powerful quote too.

Love the quote!!!!

It really is a fantastic page! A great quote and I love your colors!

Everyone has said it all. I love this layout!

Sara I love, love, love this.

Sara, I love this! And what a great quote!
