August 14th, Art 3 - Sleep

Oh, Jan......I love this! And it's so me, too! Sleep! I don't even know what restful sleep is anymore and I love how you've scrapped about your journey with sleep here! Your journaling is spot on and I love the background you used! Fabulous layout - fabulous art journaling!

Jan, this is great. I too have trouble sleeping. I toss and turn and seem to wake up every two hours or so. Love your journaling and the background with the flowers and butterflies. Great color choice. Very bright, happy, and sort of wake me upish. Love the clock you blended into the background too.

Super page, Jan! Lovely journaling and I felt like I was listening to your thoughts talk... I like the way you used it as part of your background - and your background is just beautiful! So soft and pretty it FEELS like a good night's sleep! Your blending and use of symbols is great! Wonderful layout and thanks for adding your own personal thoughtful creativity to the Thursday challenge!

Oh, Jan, I feel your pain of sleepless nights. Your journaling really touched me...sleepless nights bring forth challenging days. I love the soft embellies you used--the flowers and the butterflies. Just feels right for your journaling. The clock is so well blended into the background -- all of your elements really hit home for sleeplessness. Wonderful art journal page.

Jan, my heart goes out to you for your sleep problems. Judging by the responses here I see its not an uncommon problem. I think it took courage to write and post that very personal page. You write so well, perhaps if you started writing like that every day, just starting to write and keeping going getting your thoughts down, just maybe it would help you in some way. I love the softy sleepy colors and especially the blended clock. Good work happening here.

I love your journaling and can also relate. Wonderful background.

Yep me too... this is so wonderfully written and so heartfelt... I feel your pain... I am often up really late and then get up early for school and by the end of the week... I like how you used your creative time to make this page though, perhaps it helped to document you struggle?? Your page is gorgeous, in colour and embellishments... funnily enough, very peaceful... :-)

Perfect journaling and layout!!! Love it. I also identify with your sleep problems, and putting it down on paper is great. Thank you for sharing.

Ooooo love this one!!!

Wonderful journaling! I can sure relate! I like all the soft blended elements and papers.

Sleep problems can be soo frustrating. You've made such a beautiful layout, though - the soft colors and peaceful embellishments blended into the background feel like early morning.
