Happy Monday! Welcome to another edition of Tangie Baxter & Co’s Art Journal Emporium Gems! Today I have chosen two extraordinarily complimentary pages from last week’s wonderful AJE submissions. Both are art therapy, in a sense, as they deal with some of the difficult times all of Earth’s citizens are experiencing. Most importantly, though, they give us renewed hope for a world filled with beauty and love.

Let’s begin with this beautiful piece from Lynn Johnson. She has somehow filled it with all the sadness, hope and love that has inhabited our world and our hearts of late... And she reminds us that we all have the potential to be “true, loving human souls...”

Lynn’s credits: Tangie's Sweet Harmony, Rebecca's Tansy, November’s Collage Workshop Sheets currently part of The Art Journal Emporium, available at TB&CO in December, Tangie's font Bread and Butter and Eiffel Tower and Paris map overlay from Lynn’e personal digital files.

When I saw Marilyn Curttright’s wonderful page, overflowing with brilliant, multicolored flowers from Tangie Baxter and Rebecca McMeen, I knew immediately that it needed to be the companion piece for Lynne’s page! The flowers, so abundant and insistent, call out to us with beauty and love - and the hope for a brighter tomorrow...

Please leave these two artists some love! And remember to look for the love and beauty throughout our world!

Congratulations and a big thanks to Lynn and Marilyn for gifting us with this week’s gems. That’s all for today... Be sure to check back next Monday to see the treasures Susan uncovers!
