Another journal page bites the dust

A few weeks ago I completed another Journal page for the Journal of Dreams group.  This time it was Daisy's journal.

After a lot of thought, I decided to go with some of my dreams that are going to be happening.  More on that later. 

But, anyway here are the two pages I completed for Daisy.

The flower in the corner does hang over the edge just a little bit.   The background is just a baby wipe.

Till Next Time.

Wow another journal page

This time it is for the Journal of Dreams circle journal group and for Dianna's journal.   With this journal Dianna had a theme which was 'Gardens'.  After pondering for a few months I finally did two pages that I am happy with.

This journal really bought back memories to when I was living in Christchurch, New Zealand from 1980 to 1983.  It was a great trip down memory lane.

I am looking forward to getting to work on more of these journals over the coming weeks.  

Till Next Time XoX

Another page for Elena

But this time it is for our Through the Eyes of an Artist group.

I started this a few weeks ago with a very old (1982) map of Brisbane. Tonight I added the rest. I love how this page has come together. Now to do page one. But that will be tomorrow.

On the inside of the door it says "Home for me is just south of Coomera in Pacific Pines. Pacific Pines was established in 1998. This Map in 1982".

I have done two very different pages for the lovely Elena. I sure hopes she likes them.

Till next time.

Elena's Journal page two

Finally, it is done. Page two of Elena's Gold and White journal for the I Dream in Colours group. I have enjoyed doing this page. I got to use my Twinkling H2O's and love them. There are three shades of gold with the alternate petals and leaves in Heavenly White. I even found a use for the ribbon that the paper was wrapped in. I like the way this came together and I hope Elena does too. Now to work on the other journal group, Through the Eyes of an Artist and do Elena's journal for that group. Thankfully I have until Wednesday to get this off to Lillian in Canada. If I get my act together I will try and send Sharon's too.

Elena's journal page 1

After pondering (again) I have finally done page one of Elena's journal. The colours for this journal are shades of white and gold. I did page two but did not like it so I will do it again, which means out comes the sewing machine.

The dove is a glimmer screen and I mixed heirloom gold perfect pearls with water. Looks so much better up close.

Now to work on page two of this journal and Elena's other journal for the other group we are in.

Till next time

Alison's Journal Pages

I am part of a wonderful group of Artist's particpating in a journal titled THROUGH THE EYES OF AN ARTIST. After a few weeks of procrastination I finally completed Alison's journal page. Three down, 10 journals to go(I think) and the next two are here for Elena and Sharon.

With Alison's journal I decided to go light and dark and with a little simplicity to it all. I felt that this time less is more. I have even found a few new things that I used on my journal and repeated here as well. Using my own glimmer mists and my cuttlebug to make the little photo corner. The one thing I did this time was sew on a page. Normally I sew fabric but I did three different colours around the green page that was sprayed.

I must say that I am very happy with the result and looking forward to working on the next two. But I also have to get my covers and bio page done for my I DREAM IN COLOURS journal which has to be posted by June 1.

Pondering

Hi all,
It has been a month since my last post. This almost souinds like a confession except that I am not Catholic (LOL!).

I have been pondering on this wonderful Circle Journal group and feel so lucky to be one of the artists participating in Through the eyes of an Artist. This has to be on its way to Canada by the end of next week. What am I going to do? I have so many ideas and not sure where to start.

I have been playing and this is one idea that I have come up with as my first page. Still have to do the actual cover pages and a bio page.

One of the exciting things this month for me was that I was asked to teach a class at the Scrapbook Cupboard on perfect Pearls. I was excited and nervous at the same time. The only sad thing was that no one booked in so I did have to go in. I was certainly excited and happy that I was asked to do it. Mind you I did keep it a secret from most of my friends. I do have this massive fear of intimidation and there are a few of my friends that certainly make me feel intimidated and that I am not at the same standard. This is why I want to do this journal. To help me realise that I am good. I can do it and others actually love what I do and are very supportive of this.
