In my last post I mentioned that I had an exciting mission coming up!! As many of you know, I have been wanting to dip my toes into the waters of 'Art Jounalling' for a while, but have never been quite brave enough! The ever lovely Kirsty Wiseman did an on-line class in June, and I thought this might be a good place for me to start....still working on this one(!)....but as a result of it I have made lots of new on-line friends and 10 of us have joined together to form a 'Circle Journal'. This has made me get my finger out and finally give art journalling a go!!
As this weeks Designers Challenge over at Stampotique is
Altering a Book Page I have completed the first page in my journal and entered into the challenge too! Two birds...one stone, etc!!

Background completed!

Finished page!

I am thrilled with my first attempt and have realised how addictive this is going to become!! Background is created with Claudine's paints and Girl with Heart Purse and Marci are coloured with Dylusions Ink Sprays Their wings are from Lisa's Altered Images. I chose the bravery and courage theme as, personally, this is a big step for me!
Here's the front cover of my travelling journal which I will say farewell to on September1st, and welcome back in June next year!
I have decided to make duplicate copies of the pages I do for the other journals, so here is the cover of that one..
...and finally, several weeks ago I mentioned it was my lovely mum and dad's Emerald Wedding Anniversary.
Kirsty came over and took some lovely photos for us...I'm sharing this one of the three of us with you.
Thanks for visiting...and commenting!!
