After meeting my Target Angel, read my post on our Law of Attraction blog,  I was inspired to make a visual journal called Christmas Angels.  This is the result of that chance meeting with an angel.  If you’d like to replicate this idea, all you need to do is find a printable angel or other image you’d like.  Clip and cut out tiny images or pieces of images that are calling to you and glue them together on the angel image.  Then paint your canvas any color you’d like and attach the visual journal angel.  Paint again over the top of the angel with a light color paint and a mixture of glue to seal the image in place.  Enjoy your inspired masterpiece.

These also make unique Christmas presents that will be personal and inspirational gifts your family and friends will love.  Attach a satin ribbon to hang and voila!

Happy creating!

We at Seeds of Intentions, more specifically Amy Spradlin, have been introduced to the art and creative expression of visual journaling. In fact Amy, co-founder of Seeds of Intentions has worked with Sheri Gaynor (author of Creative Awakenings) on visual journaling and has been inspired by this form of expression.

Sheri Gaynor is a licensed clinical social worker, a registered art therapist, professional coach and a mixed-media artist. She offers transformational workshops, retreats and events, combining writing, photography and mixed-media. Sheri resides with her husband just outside of Aspen, Colorado, in Carbondale, which is where Seeds of Intentions is headquartered. For more about Sheri, visit her website at  about Living Our Dreams.

We’re taking the time in this blog to introduce you to Sheri, her professional offerings and to highly recommend her newest book Creative Awakenings…which reinforces all that we are here to share with you!

This artfully designed book invites you utilize your creativity to manifest your personal intention. Work in the spirit of the laws of attraction to visualize the life of your dreams.

Follow the journey of twelve artists (many we personally know from our community here in Carbondale), each who will set a personal dream or intention.
Witness the process that each artist takes, as they create a mixed-media piece that sows the seeds of their intention. Step-by-step techniques for a variety of mixed-media processes accompany each piece of finished art. Read about how their lives changed as a result and learn how to set intentions of your own using the bonus tear-out “dream-prompt” cards.

If you enjoy the art of visual journal-ing or are inspired by the notion of visual journals you’ll want to check out our recommendations below!

As always, Seeds of Intentions is here to inspire and share the power of intention in everything that you do, whether you write it down in a daily journal writing practice or use the power of visualization. We know that by the law of attraction (or your heartfelt and light hearted intention) you will attract into your life, that which you intend to create!
