This prompt was brought to you by NIKKI!! Thanks to Glenda for the question via email about whether I had forgotten to put the post up!! (I totally did.)
THE PROMPT: Dive In
THE SONG: Edge of Glory by Lady GaGa
Written Lyrics HERE
PRODUCT/TECHNIQUE: shape layering
I am not a huge fan of Lady Gaga, but I do love this song! I could have done a million different pages using this song as inspiration and as a matter of fact, this is not the direction I was going at all. However, I was looking through photos for inspiration and found this sunset that I took a pic of when we were in Costa Rica this past March. To me it looked like the sun was right on the "edge" and about to fall into the ocean and it hit me that this would be perfect for this prompt. My husband and I had such a wonderful trip and being with him and seeing the sunsets such as this I wouldn't trade him and us being together for anything. For the technique I want to see layering of shapes. I took a chipboard heart, misted around it, then used some oil pastels and did some colored layering around that. I placed my picture and then put the heart I used for the misting right over the edge of the photo and the original heart that I misted around. Have fun with this one...I can't wait to see what you do!
MARIT
Marilyn Monroe on a diving board got me all philosophic!
I journaled about how it feels when you are young ánd how it changes when you grow older.
"It's obviously quite a good feeling, to be young and beautiful. You can sit high on a diving board, strike a graceful pose. You get all the attention without doing more then just that. No one can see your uncertainty - you are too high for that. But the moment passes. You get older you know. One day, you will have to jump. Into life. Into the deep. And yes, your hair gets wet then. And everyone can see your protruding ears, but OH, does it feel good!"

I didn't think I was going to have time to do this prompt because of the craziness in my life the last month or so. We just moved and I had to find my art journal and then pull some supplies out of boxes to do this page! I was inspired by the lyrics "on the edge" because that is totally how I've been feeling lately. Between this hectic move and kid troubles I literally feel "on the edge".
Man it felt good to make this.
