January 19 2015 Art Journaling Chat & Challenge "Brand New Day"

I had a hard time with this layout and didn't know what part of the lyrics to choose so I finally decided to repeat the refrain of the song throughout my page. I also tried to use it as part of my design to show "steps" up out of sad times to a "brand new day" - every 24 hours we get a new chance. To show the beginning of a new day with the ability to start over, I used different color and shades of text from dark down below to lighter above. And, if you look VERY closely, you might see parts of me in there, too!

Journaling reads:

"And it seems like and it feels like

And it seems like yes it feels like

A brand new day, yeah

A brand new day, oh"

 

For this layout I used:

SNU SS DLO Templates: Art Journal

BMU SS Tools: Actions - Sketch It

ACA Cloudburst Collection Mini (retired)

SJO Awakening Collection Mini (retired)

Marilyn this is very cool and I do see you in there. I love the colors you chose. The cloud peaking through show the new day...all puffy and happy. I like it.

Love the variation in colour on your font work... and how you placed it like steps and yet angled... like a precarious set of broken steps... the colours are wonderful and I love that rainbow and cloud... as well as your eyes peeking out... windows to the soul... Wonderful use of the quote!

I love the way you've used color here. Even the thumbnail is gorgeous! I especially like how you've incorporated the lines of journaling into the design of the page and how they mimic the stripes in one of the papers. As always, you also convey feelings visually. Fabulous art journaling!

I think this page shows your balance of sunshine and clouds. Optimism winning. I love your statement; every 24 hours we get a new chance. I need to print and frame that! I know nothing about AJ, but this looks so well done, you don't have to know what it means.

Great page! I love the rainbow and clouds and the raindrop paper blended in. I will try to make the next chat, it looks like you had fun.

Bummed--set my alarm for 5:30 AM today, but all I got was a cup of coffee. My internet was down. Serviceman left about an hour ago, and it's working again. Sorry I missed the AJ chat. This is a FAB page--love your photo in there and the repetition of the chorus! Really brings it home. Thank God for a brand new day every day!

I absolutely adore these colors and wonderful textures. Your journaling is very creative and I love what looks like clouds with a ray of light coming through.

Love your winged heart and the light surrounding it flying towards the new day. I also really love the rainbow coming from behind the clouds. The raindrop paper, dots and lines forming the texture on your page are really wonderful. I keep going back to see more. Great page!

This is fabulous, Marilyn! I love the combination of colors and the way you've put your page together repeating the song - it speaks volumes!

This is another fab page Marilyn. I love the clouds at the bottom, and the steps you made with the words, and how the brighter brush work expands as you move up the page. Very creative, expressive and beautiful.
