A new crafty direction

 Hi folks, I have been intrigued lately by some crafty friends and their forays into journals and painting. Linda from My Happy Place  a very talented lady who was kind and sent me a link to Christy Tomlinson and I watched one of her videos on You Tube. This is my first ever journal page, totally inspired by Christy. I have to tell you I loved every minute of it. So different from clean and simple:0)
If you've started journalling please share, I'd love to see:0)






 I used:
Stamp by Suzi Blu for Unity
Tim Holtz Stamp and
Stamp by Andy Skinner
Mask Crafters Workshop
Gold paint Viva Decor

    Oooh Gay. I don't believe this is your first ever journal page!! I love everything about it. I have couple of journals but never got into it , keep meaning to have another go. Although I do like my Stempunk journal. I like the size of your journal, the colours and the stamps.. see everything lol

    Oh My...is there anything you can't do? Gay this is wonderful! What a beautiful piece of art, you should be just thrilled to bits with it! Sorry I missed you for a few days. I had night school, my Dad's surprise 80th birthday party, my Niece's wedding and out of town guests for four days! It was a super busy week/weekend and fantastic all the same but I'm tired and looking for a bit of down time now!!!
