Gratitude Page

Let’s dive into creating a page in your art journal that celebrates everything you’re thankful for. Think of it as a vibrant, visual thank-you note to all the people, moments, and experiences that make you smile.

Here are some creative ways to fill your page:

• Words: Write down what you’re grateful for. Experiment with different fonts, colors, and doodles to make your list pop. Try fancy lettering, playful scripts, or simple handwritten notes—whatever feels right.

• Images: Draw, paint, or collage images that capture your gratitude. It could be a quick sketch of a joyful moment, a collage of meaningful photos, or abstract art that represents your feelings.

• Mix It Up: Combine words and images to create a richer, more personal page. Maybe pair a handwritten note with a photo or a drawing that captures the spirit of your gratitude.

• Play with Colors and Textures: Choose colors that lift your mood and feel warm. Add textures with materials like fabric scraps or textured paint to give your page an extra touch of depth.

• Add Fun Extras: Decorate with stickers, washi tape, or stamps. These little details can make your page even more special and highlight the things you’re grateful for.

• Include Personal Mementos: If you have small keepsakes like ticket stubs, postcards, or pressed flowers that remind you of happy times, add them to your page.

The goal is to create a page that not only showcases your gratitude but also brings a smile to your face every time you see it. It’s all about celebrating the good stuff in your life in a way that feels joyful and uniquely you.

Art is a way to celebrate gratitude by giving it shape, color, and form. It's a canvas for your thankfulness, transforming everyday moments into timeless expressions of joy.
