I love it when my art journal ideas go to Mixed Media Monday’s.  The whole purpose of my idea journals is to take the ideas I love and use them again and those I don’t….let them go.  Trust me I have some ideas that do not fly past the journal (and never see the light of day).

Here is the inspiration for Monday’s Mixed Media Monday piece direct from my Moleskin watercolor journal:

My favorite part of this page was taking Words of the Year from everyone.  It was like I incorporated everyone into my piece.  That will be a favorite memory for me…..
