Collage Journal weekly!

Hi there, I wanted to stop by quickly and share a new little project that I'm going to hopefully do regularly! It's called Collage Monday by the super talented Mixed Media Artist, Donna Downey. The concept is basically about keeping it simple and using minimal supplies, which is perfect for creating whilst out and about. I'm loving collage & the simplicity of it. I hope you like it! My good friend Lita has listed her first page and is lovely. We actually started our pages together on Saturday night, I love how different and unique they are! If you wanna join in too, leave a link back in the comments, I'd love to see your work :) Thanks for looking :)
supplies i have used: Piccadilly Music Journal, Pink Paislee 'London Market' Collage Sheets, Studio Calico 'take note' 6x6 paper, Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden ephemera & rubons, Smash black dot Washi tape, October Afternoon date Washi tape, Pink Paislee Artisan tape, October Afternoon ephemera, Studio Calico wood butterfly, Ranger inks, Unity alpha/numeral roller stamp

Remains of the Day Journal - pages coming together!

Hi!! Just wanted to share a quick update of my fabric journal. I have started putting some of my gathered ephemera bits and pieces together and begun stitching them together forming my pages. I chose to sew my pages together with a golden yellow thread which I'm loving. I haven't actually sewed any for a few days now, I've had other things on my agenda including the massive tidying up job of my study/studio craft room, I need to work on prettying it up with some color & artsy goodness :) Anyway, here's a couple pics of my fabric journal pages so far, once it's all done I will attempt to take pics of each so you can see the detail. Thanks for looking :)

Remains of the Day Journal - starting my pages

Hi there, Last night I made a start on my pages for my fabric journal I made last week. I started sorting through all of my ephemera bits and pieces, transparencies, collage and various pages including old book paper, patterned paper, music paper and some pages from one of my copies of Somerset Studio! They have gorgeous paper in those mags... I hope to continue working on these tonight, here's a quick pic I took last night, I'm loving everything about this journal, so much fun :) Thanks for looking!

Sharing some new journal pages & flickr

The past few days I've been taking some new pics of some recent journal pages I've done (this year so far)and uploading them to my new flickr site. I thought I'd create a slideshow and share it here! :)

REMAINS OF THE DAY Journal preview

My ROD journal cover, what an awesome class, thanks Mary Ann Moss:)My first 'Remains of the day' journal cover.

On Friday night, June 8, I finally managed to make a start on my 'Remains of the day Journal' which is an online class by Mary Ann Moss. I'll post the video preview link for her class in a separate post, I love the video, very catchy!

I had a great time working on this cover and was really surprised and proud of how it turned out. I still need to do some finishing touches to it and start on the inside pages.

These pics show what I did, they are from my new flickr site. Oh and as you can probably already see I have updated my blog background, I'm loving it!

Thanks for looking:)
