    kira-kira journal complete

    August 3, 2014 - By 

    A little over a year ago I started work in a new journal. It was a book I’d picked off the free shelf at our local library…which incidentally is closing in a week or so. They’ve built a new building to fit with the character of the historic main street. I’m really excited about the new building but also a little sad. The old location is the library where got my very first library card.

    OK…done waxing nostalgic…on with the original reason for my post. I’m done…completely finished…with my little kira-kira journal. Today, I added my title page….

    …and gave a little attention to the covers, leaving the original title visible.

    Here’s a little peek at the pages inside.kira-kira collage

    For me, it’s always nice to put a check mark next to a project as DONE.  What about you…do those UFO’s call to you…finish me…or not really?

    When I saw the red I knew I’d be using hearts on my page. I have a tiny bit of the light blue as wings on one heart. I tried to keep it to just a pop of that color this time. 20140707_5790

    The words are just something silly that jumped out at me from a book page.

    SOC4: week 3

    June 24, 2014 - By 

    Yikes…Kristen picked a little harder set of colors for me this 3rd week of The Summer of Color! On first inspection I thought….”sure, you got this”…but as it turned out…it was harder that I thought to come up with something.
