Come On In!

Now this was fun!  It took a long time but it's pretty much the way I wanted it to turn out.  The little doors lead to myself.  They can be opened and closed and they signify that when I'm here journaling I'm me.  It's one place in the world that is totally mine. I put little fasteners for knobs on the door and tied them together with a ribbon.  Inside is a vista which is a graphic from Graphics Fairy.  So are some of the other graphics - the pig, the funny little girl, the big bird and rose, the nest with the checkered eggs is from a MacKenzie-Childs catalog.  Now aren't you just itching to have your own special place?  It's easy, just get an empty notebook or even a notebook, cut out and paste some wonderful images, add your own thoughts and your on your way!!!!   

A New Year......A New Journal

Off to a great start.  I made the cover for three new journals.  This one is for the art journal.  Then I covered my writing journal, which is a black and white speckled school composition book, with interesting papers and another composition book, which I have other purposes for too.  So........... all I have to have is life to happen to me and I'll be filling them to the brim. 

Thank you all so much for reading this blog and I really hope you get inspired and want to go and create something beautiful.                  Diane 

End of the Year

Closing up the journals for the year.  One of them is my art journal, the other is my writing one.  That's it.  Time to start new ones tomorrow.  Hope you have everything wonderful that the coming new year can bring you.                    Diane

This is the page that lays behind the journal page on the previous post.  Many of my images come from catalogs and magazines as well as Graphic Fairy.  The right scissors makes such a difference.  Isn't this green paper pretty?  Diane
