As you may know by now, Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey this month. My theme is Count your blessings.
Trust is something we must give and win. We must put our trust in others
so they will learn to trust us.
It isn't enough to say "I trust you," you have to show it, too.
I am truly blessed that I have friends 
I trust and would do just about anything for (short of breaking the law).
These same friends know I would come through for them in a pinch
and they would do the same for me.
For this page, I started with a used file folder that already had a bit of my handmade shimmering mists on it. To it, I added the fancy fiber I had trouble keeping straight as I sewed it to the background. Once complete, I added the lovely lavender skeleton leaves my friend Kaybee sent me. I used an entire package and could have used a couple more. However, I was so thankful for the ones she sent. Finally, I added some die cut letters, one of which was made using leather.Bleubeard, my handsome co-host and I are thrilled you joined us today as we have been blessed with trust we give and receive which we are sharing at Art Journal Journey. Hope to see you there, too.

Ohh, I have forgotten to say that I also think that trust is very important, trust and respect are the base of any relation between two personns, very good word.

Trust is necessary to a relationship. I like how you highlight the word. I tried to outline an ATC with fiber once, but I never could get it to look right. If I try it again, I'll use your sewing idea :)
This is simply WONDERFUL Elizabeth! From the wonderful background to the fancy fiber to the fabulous skelteon leaves and the lesther die cut letters- all is simply wonderful together and the thoughts to the page are precious!
I am thrilled about this page my friend!
Gorgeous!
You really rock Dr.E.!
I am a bit late today, sorry- had so much fun today with my girldfriend - from time to time a girl has to spend time with girlfriends for a good chatting!
Much love

This looks awesome. I love the skeleton leaves against the soft colour inky background.
Your chosen word of Trust and the sentiments you added for its meaning to yourself, is something I can relate to as well.

Trust is a true blessing for sure. As we all know some people who would just as sure stab you in the back, and just thinking of times that had happened to me makes me angry. Reaching the trust point is indeed a big deal. You seem to have many friends so you are a lucky and blessed lady indeed. Nice page. those skeleton leaves really give some lovely texture to your page. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Hugs-Erika
Those are the best friends. And--true--you have to be one to have one. :)
It's a warming feeling when we have trust, it gives security and helps us process situations so much easier. It's a good feeling to know there are people like your self around Elizabeth wouldn't it be an easier world to live in if we could put our trust in everyone. Love how you have used the red to put a border around a select amount of leaves, great play on the word.
Wishing you a super Sunday Tracey x
I love the fibre frame and leaves Elizabeth! It's a great page! Good friends you can trust are a real blessing.

A lovely page Elizabeth. Beautiful background with the leaves and mists.
Love this one, Elizabeth -- the colors, the texture of the leaves and most of all, your words about friendship. Your friends are lucky to have you in their corner.
Beautiful page with those leaves! And I just love your theme- Trust!
hugs,Jackie xx
