Arty CJ Catch Up

Hello, hello. Two cj entries from me today. The first was for my Mojo Busters 3 cj on UK Scrappers. This was for the gorgeously talented Rebecca's cj which made me nervous before I even got started. Rebecca's subject is New Year to be interpteted in any way we wanted. I'm not really a lover of New Year, I know, I know, being Scottish you would think I would be, but there you go. I was a bit stumped to be honest and the cj was all in Gorgeous vintagey Tim Holtz style and I had nothing which really matched that. Then Rebecca said try something art journally so I did and this is what evolved. The little booklet on the left hand side opens up to explain New Year,New Art Journey and the wee flap in the middle has my sign in details on it. The stamp on the right hand side is a saying by Helen Keller and reads "The best, most beautiful things can not be seen or even touched they must be felt with the heart". I love the colours but when it's in with the other pages it does stick out a bit like a sore thumb. I just hope Rebecca likes it

The second is for my team cj. Im proud to be a member of the fabulous Rik Rak Ravers on U K Scrappers and for our first sj we are just passing round pages which cuts down on cost. This month I had Julieanns to do and her theme is Change, and my pages morphed into something much brighter than my usual. I think the recent week of sunshine here in Scotland has definately gone to my head. This one had lots of layers of Gesso, washi tape, paint and was inked and sprayed on and also through stencils. The quote on the left hand side says "Things do not Change We Change". I made a pocket on the right hand side and decorated with a doily and a flower made from the tattered florals die using a previously made background and some vintage book pages. I popped my tag in with my journalling on. Julieann has received the pages and says she likes them so that was a "phew" moment!
