Exploring(s)

For September, we three thought of 'labor' as a challenge for the monthly theme.
Lately, I have been exploring my crafting/art/scrapbooking style...trying to pin it down (is that even possible to do?). I know there's a little collage, messy, unpredictable-ness that I prefer in art...but whether or not I can make it work is another ballgame. I planned the two 9x9 layouts of my {no so little} baby girl around her feelings and her moods shown in the photos. But no matter if I nailed it, or missed it...I can't keep my eyes off her eyes...so what I have done here with photos of her on paper with ribbons, transfers, pen, my doodles and pencils is totally irrelevant because she is the art. She's my heart, and I love her so much, it's almost laborious.

A-D-O-R-E THE FREESTYLE PAGE!! Outstanding!!! Whimsical, youthful, & endearing; just what it can be like having a little girl! My favorite to date, proving you are thinking out of the box--which is exactly what we are supposed to be doing with this blog. Loved that you overlapped that photo on the left hand side & love the layers + doodling. And your second page, very cute!!
Great creative work Jen--I'm raving! B
