Summer of looooove / 1

So I mentioned Thursday that I'm taking an online art journaling/night photography class (three days in and I'm in LOVE, btw). I finally decided on the yellow book for this journal, and I'm so happy with it! I'm also lovin' the laid back, goatyourownpace vibe of this class, but of course, every new prompt is turning me more and more into a journaling/photographer hermitlady, haha. OK NOT REALLY. I'm just loving the heck out of the process and can't get enough. Here's what I've done so far.
Back cover with my favorite quote for this season / Frontcoveroflove
Dedication page / Introduction
Photo 1: Self portrait / Intro retraction-ish
A few shots using my sunglasses as a filter to be incorporated throughout the book

That's where I'm at so far! I've taken a few night shots and am working on other pages right now...ahhh I'm so excited to see where this project takes me. I've already got so many awesome ideas beyond the class prompts that have me SUPER STOKED FOR MY LIFE. But seriously. I hope you're having a great weekend!

    1. Awww thank you so much! The knitting lady was actually ON the cover; that was what sealed the deal for me as far as which book to use. She's my favorite. I named her Barbara.

    1. Thanks hun! I kind of eyeballed where the holes should be and then used a drill. I don't remember what size bit I used though. Large enough so the holes were hole-punch sizeish (:
