Mixed media art journal page featuring a feather • AtopSerenityHill.com #mixedmedia #artjournaling #documentedlifeThe newest challenge for the Documented Life Project that I’m participating in was to add a feather to our planner. I’ve been finding feathers on my dog walks for the past month, so that part was easy! The rest of the page became the telling of my creative journey story over the past year…all the blogs I’ve read, techniques I’ve learned, classes I’ve taken…

It became the base to my journal page along with some old book paper that I stamped with my new eraser stamps! PS…I’ve used Carolyn’s sparks in the past here and here.

Inktense pencils are one of my favorite ways to add color!

I can’t wait to see what the next chapter will bring this year!

I link up at these great parties!
