First Travel Journal

I spray painted some brown paper bags, large envelopes & paper for this journal. The pics are in reverse order. So here is the back page. You can see that I used brads (can't think of what they are called right now) to "bind" this. The silver is a ribbon glued to cereal box strips. I had a stapler & glue stick to adhere stuff.

The first pages here. My sister brought some greek yogurt. Yummy! I ate both containers!
I love the topiary tree stamp I got for a quarter. I embellished it on this page.

This is the front cover. Oh I found some scotch tape for these. I am not totally done with this journal. I want to add the dates to the cover, maybe some shells.

Here you can see the pieces before assembling began. This was fun to make as well as play in. I learned that spray paint is difficult for a glue stick to adhere to. & I wish that I had some white spray paint. (On my to get list)

Who Is This?

I had a little fun today and put this in my recycled journal. I found this on the back of a cereal box. I tested some of my family and they weren't sure. Do you know?

Good Luck!

Handy Work

These are so enjoyable to do. I used some henna art http://www.hennapage.com/henna/what/lineart/index.html in them. It is amazing what a few little marks on some paper can add up to! Give it a try!! Let me know what you come up with! Have Fun!

Ready for the Beach?

Just a silly page. The base is a cereal box. The rest is part magazine pics, part acrylics & colored pencils. Her legs are fuzzy yarn pieces. Mine are like that sometimes!! I may go back and doodle some more on this page later. Who knows ?!

Is It Spring Yet?

This is another page in my recycled journal. I gessoed the page and added the scissors a while ago. I just recently added the girl and my bunny. Here's looking forward to spring!!!!

A Cheeze-it Page

This is a fun page from my recycled journal. This is done on a cheeze-it box. The "back" of the page has a recycled envelope for a pocket. This bunny rabbit has a knack of showing up in my art work. He first showed up on some canvas wall hangings I made for children's rooms. So sometimes he looks happy and innocent. Other times (not on items for children) he grins very mischievously.
