catching up

okay so today’s post is a mishmash of a lot of stuff that has been going on.

while on vacation i did manage to do a few pages but the doodling, alas, is not done yet. so they will be coming soon. this is the only one that i think is finished.. well as finished as an art journal pages gets anyway cause you know one can always doodle more!!
i had started the background some time ago using texture paste and color wash. i wasn’t quite sure what to do with it and then it came to me. we were flying into florida on the full moon…and what a more perfect stamp then the suitcase tramp (i of course am referring to the travelling travis by Dylusions )

next is a few snaps of some of the wonderful projects we did during the Leica Forrest classes held at APOS! on the 18th of April. i really challenged myself to stay clean on the layouts in class. but i know i am not going to let them be one of those ‘projects one takes during a class of a famous person to only lay them aside in a pile by the freezer’ … sounds funny but i know this to be true as i heard that from someone once (wink!! wink!!). so i am showing them before as they are now and once i have put my own touches to them i will post the after!

the layouts:

we then moved on to glimmermist and chalk

and then on to my favorite project of the day the canvas.

as i said, none of these are quite finished but i love where they are at and where they are going to!

next i have been working on my tags for a swap. i of course used a little bit of tim and a little bit of Dyan on my tag. this months challenge was masking.

i also just wrapped up my ATC’s for another swap and our challenge this month was to use favorite quotes.

there now all i have left to do really is my tag for the StudioL3 challenge… and it needs to be done by Thursday night!!!

til next time…

HAPPY SCRAPPING!!!
