Another layout experiment. I used a big block stamp and just journalled in the blocks. I was feeling very down and frustrated at this time, but I'm better now!

This layout turned out rather interesting! I had a bright yellow background and I taped it off with green tape, then filled in the spaces with the brown. Pulled off the tape and decorated the stripes.

Another Journal prompt.

Hurricane Katrina was such a devastating hurricane, I was glued to the tube for days. I can't imagine what it must have been like. This was done in the early days before all the deaths were discovered.

A new stamp I bought on this page!

Used my new turquoise paint that I bought for the collage I did for my daughter. Feeling a bit poor right now, thus the money picture!

The other side of the Evian page. I love this Budda statue!

This page was hard to write on because it was done with Lumiere paint. I ended up using a silver sharpie, that was all that would work. Evian is my favourite water! I am tending to use up all extra paint from other projects in my journal. I just find some blank pages and slop on the paint 'till it's gone!

I went to an art festival and bought a box of Journalling Starters. So when I'm stuck I will choose one and do a page on it. This was my first one.

Experimenting with my brayer and Kaliedescope colors.

Closeup. I used my travel stamps because I like them so much!

This was a layout I saw in another post. I think the next time i do this layout I will make the center larger.

First page!

This is the cover for my new Composition Book Journal. I've never used a comp book as a journal before, so this is all new! Much bigger pages to work on than I'm used to.

My last page in this journal. I am going to try a Composition Book journal for the next one. I will have a bigger space which may or may not be good. The pages will also be more fragile. It will be interesting to see what new things I can do with it. Goodbye journal!

Again, the same credit card technique page as the previous page (they face each other). I like the way I did this, making 4 different spaces to write in. Didn't have much to say though, so I just blathered!

These eyes are so cool! This background was done with a credit card. I dripped yellow paint, then light green paint onto the paper, then scraped it off with a credit card. One of my favourite techniques!

I did the same thing on this page as the previous page, but used a different background stamp. I love the magazine cutout! I had given a workshop on Art Journals this day at a small stamping convention.
