I printed out all of Nancy's Crowabout pages so I would have lots to play with,
so most if not all of these images are from those collage pages. The bird is a stamp. The
bottom edge of leaves is something I made using photos of the leaves in our front yard.
I was visiting my DD, and the girl's body reminded me of her, so I used it.
When I showed this page to her, she was actually wearing those pants,
and had worn those exact shoes that day! These images are from Nancy's sheets,
except the girl's face and the stamped edges and swirls.
One of my fav pages, and DD's as well! She loved the Mucha girl. Again, most images are from Nancy except for the Mucha Girl and the stamped leaves.
I finished the book "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippa Gregory. I generally like this page, except for the Martha Stewart letters. Don't waste your money, luckily these were on sale, but I could have done the lettering better by hand. They were horrible! The images are of the real people, Anne, Mary, Henry and Katherine, and the letter is a real letter from Henry to Anne (totally unreadable though!)!
I loved the book, and will probably read more of the series!
My "fun" reading! My DD got me hooked on the Sookie Stackhouse books
(from True Blood) and this one is the 3rd one. Quick reading, and fun. I'm now reading
the 4th one, so a new page is imminent! I thought I would just use the cover art since
I liked it so much, and collaged around it. Most of the collaged edges are from Nancy,
except for Elvis I think. Don't read the page if you want to read the book!

I love all your pages. You fill your pages with awesome images, great color, and oodles of thoughts. Laughed about your wanting to use quotes to help in the journaling part. I tend to want to skip the writing. You could also add lists: dreams, movies, songs, vegetables, restaurants, places, ...
I love your pages and find that the books read collage pages are much better than a traditional book report and of course a lot more fun. I am also a Sookie Stackhouse fan. In fact, I just finished reading Club Dead. Perhaps I should start a fun journal for the special books I read. Cannot do all of the books, because there are too many;-) Thank you for sharing your art, it is fantastic and fun!
I like all your pages. You could always write large to fill the space - that's what I do sometimes but sometimes just starting to write gets me going and if I start big I run out of room.
Hi Linda,
Your pages are lovely. I read the journaling and everything. I love how you talk about the food you eat and the fact that you're having a glass of wine while working your journal. I also love how you put a few pages on one spread. Your collaging is fantastic as well. Thank you for sharing. Oh yea, Phillipa Gregory's books are amazing...I read The Other Boleyn girl and then devoured about 10 of the other books. Love her. I've been dying to read the Sookie Stackhouse books since I adore the show. Can't wait!

Your pages are FANTASTIC! I could just devour them over and over. So much is going on there. The colours meld so perfectly. Wonderful artwork.
You're very good at this Linda...there are lots of great ideas here to inspire us!
Thank you for visiting ABAA....hope you can join in with us sometime.
Linda :-)
well that's another batch of very interesting pages.
I love your journal pages. They are creative and colorful. Great job.
Oh, Linda! What a super terrific post! All of your journal pages are delicious. The images are awesome and your journaling is spontaneous and honest. I've really enjoyed these pages! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Linda
You have changed your colour palette significantly while I have been "away". These are gorgeous and your writing makes it very interesting to come back to the blog over and over.

Your pages are beautiful! They have inspired me to journal...thank you so much!
Cheers!
I also watched all the Teesha videos and have been trying her methods. You are way ahead of me and I really like your pages! - Barbara

Holy... CRAP, Linda! Your pages just took my breath away. The colours, the different elements you've used, the way you've journaled multiple days on one page with stamped numbers (be still my heart!) I just love these.
Yes, I see the Teesha influence and learned something new! I like the idea that you do your collage first and then go back to journal. I just get frustrated and stopped doing it because I feel I didn't have the time.... LOL. Thank you for your post over at the Honeysuckle's. That was my goal for several years and believe it or not, I had been rejected several times and the one thing that got accepted for the first publication time in Somerset was originally sent to Stampers Sampler and then published in Somerset! Go figure - that sort of freed me from the "rejection" trap. Submit, sweetie, you have what they want! hugs,
Oh MY GOODNESS!!! Each one of these pages is so inspiring! Just lovely!

Linda,
I really like all your pages. Yes, I see the Teesha Moore influence, but I also see your style and I like it.
Thanks for your visit to my blog,
xoxo
I too love your journal pages especially; Henry VIII. I did a altered book of Henry VII about a year ago myself. I love period books, movies. Thanks for sharing!
Linda I realizes today I have not visited in a while. What great journal pages! You have definitely incorporated Teesha into your own style. I love Nancy's border sheets.I use her stuff all the time.
You asked about my Totem. A totem is something that shows up regularly in your life at realization moments. Mine is birds - usually a hawk. Dhe is my validation my protector, other birds have different meanings for me. Your totem could be large cats. One of my sons has cats/bobcats as a totem.I have always known what mine is. My grandmother - Creek Indian - was into a lot of the older ways.
Wow, Linda, lovely altered pages!
