Behind the Scenes

One of the journals I keep documents techniques to create backgrounds for stamping on or for other paper craft projects.  I finished Volume One some months ago.  Volume Two finally got its title page:

The background idea came from Sonya at stamp club.  It is created by embossing a background stamp on watercolor paper and then dabbling with distress inks .  To apply the distress inks, apply them to a craft sheet, spritz with water and use your fingers.  What fun!

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends!

Counting

The Richmond Art Gallery is hosting an international mail art swap.  The theme is Economy and all entries must be 5" x 5".

If you live in the Vancouver area you can still make the October 1 postmark deadline!

A New Journal

The journal I created this summer feels wrong somehow - the colours, mainly, I guess.  It feels like an orange rather than a pink time of year.

Like the last journal, this one is 6 x 6, created from scrap book papers from my stash.  The ones I chose have the lovely oranges, yellows, reds and browns we associate with falling leaves.

Summer's Last Hurrah

This could be summer's last journal page - I feel fall coming!
