Here’s a double page spread from my journal that I did a while back. I was experimenting with overlaying book paper with paint, paint with stencils and stencils with stamps. I was determined to keep the colours subtle, not my usual bright and bustling, overloaded and bling filled persona at all!
Finally I stuck some dies on top [the ever so slightly robotic looking lady is a 5 piece puzzle you can stick together however you want and the scrabble squares are also a die] along with one of my favourite John Lennon quotes………
Count your age by friends, not years
Count your life by smiles, not tears
Of course, right at the very end I had to give it a wee burst with some sparkly colour mist ……. just can’t help myself! 🙂
I find that now a bit of time has passed by since I last looked at this page, I quite like it………
Thanks for popping by, as always, it’s lovely to know you’ve been!

Hello you two lovelies! Nice to see you come by and thank you for those very kind words! Orlando is very happy today, it is raining and so he gets to go outside, get wet and come back in for a towel down. He finds he has to go outside quite often on days like this 🙂
