For week 19, we were asked to document a RAK (random act of kindness by us). And what could be more appropriate than the luncheon I recently had with hubby and one of his closest couple friends and their two boys. Fortunately, the eldest boy just celebrated his 17th birthday and the luncheon was a great opportunity for another celebration with friends we consider as family.
For this challenge I used gesso, acrylic paints, stencils from crafter’s workshop and tim holtz, chalk pastels, lowercase stamps, a charcoal pencil and a zig pen.
I considered my RAK a private thing so I made a flap for my journaling and incorporated it to my spread.
From the time I was doing my week 18 pages, I was drown to distressing my pages and thought of using the technique throughout my weekly prompts.
This week also included the second Sunday of the Month of May which was always dedicated to Mothers. To commemorate my Mama, I made her this embellishment.
I had fun making this spread. It reminded me of the simple gestures of kindness I did for random people and most especially with the people I hold dearest. It also made me remember the moments I had with my Mother and how we are exactly alike.
Happy crafting!
