Ive been involved in doing a journal circle since November last year. There were 9 of us in the group and we all had to do a page in each others journals using a stamp each person had posted with their journal.
My journal is called sunny stories and I send a sunshine stamp with my journal.
I just absolutely love every page. Thank you to Mima, Heather,Sandra, and Paula( when hers arrives) in the uk and to Martha,Karen Elena and Tracy in the usa
I so enjoyed the project.
What fun journalling is I would recommend it to any one to give it a try!!!!

Hello,
This morning Ive created 4 6"x4" cards for a 'so surreal' swap
I Created my own backgrounds using inks, then stamped up some circles for the worlds and added figures( the rugby palyer is a transparency).
I then took a scan of the card and then reproduced it but much smaller and placed on the card to finish it off.
The pieces are called ' ON TOP OF THE WORLD' 1 to 4

Hi Ive been creating backgrounds today. When I need a bit of inspiration I quite often get one of my books off the shelf and stift through for ideas. This collection of backgrounds was inspired by a book I have about interior designer Caroline Quartermaine. She uses a combimation of the old and worn with beautiful contemporary colours and gold.
All the backgrounds apart for the first,which is a collage with inked and stamped paper ,were made with inks and embossing powders. If you click on image to enlarge you will see the details better.
