Hearts for Karen....

Here are my last two spreads in Karen's calendar journal.
Karen loves hearts, so I just had to create spreads
with heart themes for her.

Earth Hour

This is my latest spread in Karen's calendar journal.
I've honored Earth Hour. To do my bit for Earth
Hour, I turned off everything in the house and
went for a long walk with my rottweiler Sophia.
On our walk I came up with ideas for this spread,
then went to work on it when we got home.

BOUNDLESS

"Boundless Passion"
Today I received Karen BPs calendar journal.
So I got to work on it right away this evening. Here
is the first of four entries I've added to her CJ.

The Yin Yang Sisters....
This is how I found Angel and Meesha celebrating their first birthday today. Quite fittingly, catnapping! I guess that is one way to spend a birthday!! lol

Above is my first try at giving bubble wrap and sequin waste a go as part of a background. I decided to flip through a magazine and the first photo I didn't like I used for my first attempt at these background techniques. This is the finished result, and I happen to quite like it too! I created another one of my "Windows to the Soul" spreads. (Girl Talk)

QUIET GREY

I've been spending my day in my bedroom on my big sprawling bed amongst my art journals, my cat Meesha, and dog Sophia. It's a quiet day, and a grey rainy day, which suits my mood. Observing a few things, I hear the music coming from downstairs, where my son is redecorating my living room and dining room for me, in 'raging sea' grey. The lyrics that I hear floating up the stairs are 'It's always raining in my head.' A song called 'Epiphany' by 'Staind'. I notice too, that I am wearing grey. I guess now I know the theme of my art journal pages I'm going to be playing around with while I spend my day in quiet solitude.

CELTIC GOTHIC ARCH

CELTIC FAIRY
The theme this week at Gothic Arches is
Celtic. This is the arch I've created for it.
