I was about to chuck this book in the trash. Every time I made a journal page in this book, it was simply awful. It seemed as if the book was stealing my mojo.
This was a last ditch effort for the book. If I wasn’t happy today…it was going away in a really permanent fashion.
I think I’ll keep it around, at least for the time being.
I finished the very last page in one of my journals, which ironically happened to be the inside cover.
The bold orange made me happy. When I spotted the quote in my stash I knew it was meant to be.
Other bits and pieces also found their way into my hands from a drawer of randomness. I keep thinking I need to sort that stuff but sometimes chaos is best for my creative process.
This heart makes me so, so happy.
The texture… The inking on the edge… The the fact that its asymmetrical…
Yeah! Love it when things work out.
If you’d have seen the mess I made yesterday in another book, you’d truly understand why this one has restored my confidence. YIKES!
After our snow yesterday…yes you read that correctly…snow on April 5th, I guess I wanted to remind myself that a new season is actually upon us.
It is Spring according to the calendar and before we know it, the weather will be hot and humid.
When I started this journal page I had no idea where it was going. 
I spread my super thin, lame gesso over the pages in my Watkins cookbook journal then kept adding layers of paint and stamping.
Next I wanted to try out some molding paste applied through a stencil…a technique I’ve seen several times on YouTube videos. I love the texture it adds. I’ll definitely be trying that one again!
I used water and walnut ink to age this library card which is placed on top of a bit of a forest scene magazine page. Love it when things like that work out.
Still looking for more texture I glued down a bit of flower trim.
I am incredibly happy with 
the way this one turned out.
And look..the sun is even shiny bright today promising that the Season is actually changing.
