Reflections

Your beliefs become your thoughts, 
Your thoughts become your words, 
Your words become your actions, 
Your actions become your habits, 
Your habits become your values, 
Your values become your destiny.” 
                          - Mahatma Gandhi

words that inspired my interpretation of this months blog train theme - "reflections". it's about realizing the power of our thoughts & how our "outsides" are merely a reflection of our "insides". so, we might as well think positive, right?!

the process of creating this kit included not only a little soul searching, but also exploring different graphic styles and design techniques. it was a pretty rewarding learning experience! 

i would say the result of this stylistic exercise is a mix of art journaling & collage. an attempt to fuse the clean, geometric minimalism of a collage with some powerful, bold mess of the art journals.


i made a set of six 3x4' filler and journal cards that can quickly add a bit of that artsy flavour to your pocket style albums, but will also blend well with the rest of the kit, in case you feel like creating your own art journal pages


variety is something i'm pretty proud regarding this kit- so many motifs and textures to combine, in  different and exciting ways! hope you find some bits and pieces here that inpire you to make something new. and if you do, i'd totaly love to check it out, so drop me a line!



and here you'll find the full bt list, with more fabulous goodies!

a page i made using MandysLovableDesigns & my part, just to give you a better idea of the kit:
