Soul book start

Well I finally did it!!!  I started out my soul book!  I'm so happy about that because I have been wanting to do something to document this year and having a hard time to commit to something. This seems like something that I can totally do.  I have found the soul book via the youtube channel of Christie B and you can also find her blog here.

And I had been super lucky to have a great shop owner on Etsy give me one of her beautiful mandalas.  You can see the mandala that I used here.  It's from Coloring Craft Shack.

I have made a video to share with you all my mental process through this.  It was quite emotional and unexpected.  I didn't start of thinking that I would do this entire page... it just happened.

And here is the journaling spread that I have made.

As my son said this is totally not my typical style... but I really love how it turned out.  It's the start page of the book.  I used some acrylic paints, a stencil, a stamp from Eclectica and some stamping with a mat, stabilo pencil and some pitt pen.  The mandala was colored with some gel pens as well as coloring pencils.  And then I fussy cut it out.

I'm entering this spread in the following challenges:

1. 613 Avenue Create - Anything goes and I didn't really do the spring but it is spring colors
2. Dragonfly dreams challenges - Anything goes
3. Corrosive challenges by janet - Anything goes
4. My time to craft challenge - No design papers
5. More mixed media challenge - Option yellow... didn't use much a bit but not much

That's it for me for today.  Hope you have a great Tuesday!!!
