Here is my latest 'Windows to the Soul'
spread. It has been a while since I've worked
in my ledger style journal, which I only use
for these women with the altered eyes.
In this spread I used something 'Mr. Ripley'
wrote on the back of a postcard in the movie
"The Talented Mr. Ripley". I altered a 'Disney'
image from a magazine, adding acrylic paints,
Aileen's Color Mists and sequin waste.

Now that I have finished working Marilyn's "Shoe" calendar journal, here are the spreads I've created in it:
From top to bottom:
1) I altered these pages to mirror the song by "Garbage" titled "Only Happy When It Rains".
2) A spread about preferences in footwear, gardening & Mother Nature.
3) I played around with the lyrics to the old Beatles song "I Saw Her Standing There", adding some humor to go along with the shoe theme.
4) This spread holds a photo of my one cat "Meesha". I have nicknamed her "Meesha Moo Shoes" since she was a wee kitten. I felt that adding her
picture to Marilyn's Shoe CJ was
pretty appropriate! lol
5) The bottom spread is actually
Terry's altered page on the left, and I
went with the same theme as she did
for my first page, on the right. I had
loads of fun playing in Marilyn's
journal!

A DOODLE & A DOG

On the left is an old doodle of mine. I have posted
it on my blog, again. It's kind of a visual pep talk
to myself to do doodle more! lol On the right is
the latest photo of my rottweiler, Sophia. She
has stolen my heart in a very big way!

Another weekend off work, and I am doing what I love best. Playing in art journals! Above are my final two spreads in Lisa's calendar journal. This has been a whole lot of fun, creating in Lisa's journal and I can't wait until the next CJ arrives to play in!

Having this weekend off work, I've carried on working in Lisa's calendar journal. Abovie are my next two spreads, all based on songs "Miss Chatelaine" by K. D. Lang, "Singin' In the Rain" by Gene Kelly, and "Blue on Blue" by Bobby Vinton. I got my idea for the "Miss Chatelaine spread from "Chatelaine Magazine" that's published here in Canada. It's the 80th anniversary for the magazine this year.

EVIL INTENT

I couldn't resist titling this post the way I have. Looking at the eyes you will notice where I got the idea from! lol
On the right is Angel my year old dilute calico, and below is Moody my 13 year old lilac point siamese.
Neither one of these cats is evil though! They're very sweet and loving little souls.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!

Spring has arrived here in Southern Ontario. The
temperatures have reached the low 60s and all of the snow
has finally melted away. Right now I have Lisa's calendar journal
and I have created a spread in it celebrating the arrival of spring!
