Creative Project: Altered Journal Journal Round Robin 2013

I wanted to share the latest spreads I made for the altered journal round robin. We're on the last round now so there will only be one more update after this.

1st spread. 

Have to admit that I wasn't feeling this & I'm still
not. The washi tape background was supposed to
be something else that didn't work out.

I like this side much better but I wish
that the other side wasn't so colorful and busy. 

2nd spread. I used this Color Shine mist & a Studio
Calico mask for the background.

Then I added a quote card, washi &
chipboard embellishments. 

This weekend we'll be celebrating Father's Day by taking my Dad out for breakfast because we were busy last weekend with a work event for M. And hopefully going to see either Star Trek or Man of Steel too. What are your plans? 

Creative Project: Altered Journal Round Robin 2013

Here are the latest 2 spreads I completed for my altered journal round robin. Hard to believe that we only have 2 more rounds left. And harder to believe yet, is that we're almost to the halfway point of the year.

I've rediscovered my love of washi tape. These
spreads are very simple. 

I used washi, mists, acrylic paint, patterned paper,
a sticker & some chipboard embellishments

For this spread I used washi, mists, water colors, die cuts,
chipboard embellishments, stickers & the cutest
min wooden birds ever. 

I'm not usually a fan of pink, but something about
the color screams spring & summer to me. And
I just felt drawn to use it. 

Any weekend plans? M's Uncle will be visiting. He rides his motorcycle across the U.S. & we're his first stop on this year's journey. So we're looking forward to eating good food, having a belated birthday celebration for M with my family & of course relaxing. Have a wonderful weekend & thanks for stopping by.

Creative Project: Altered Journal Round Robin 2013

Today, I wanted to share my most recent altered journal spreads for the round robin I'm participating in.

1st spread

I used enamel dots, washi, Mister Huey's mists,
stickers, a Heidi Swapp tag sprayed with
her color shine & some patterned paper

For this page, I used 2 different patterned papers,
washi, some stickers and a die cut

2nd spread

This one used washi, paper, a Heidi Swapp
tag, several chip board stickers and a die cut

More patterned paper, the same washi I
used above, a Heidi Swapp frame misted with
her color shine & a bunch of die cuts & tags
layered over one another

What projects are you working on?

Creative Project: Altered Journal Round Robin 2013

This past Sunday, I went into my office for the first time in probably 2 months, to work on an altered journal for another round robin. And it felt so good to be back creating. Even if I did pay for it afterwards with major back pain - it was completely worth it.

So today, I wanted to share the spreads I created in the first journal I received & share a little about this year's round robin.  The participants are Mary, Janet & Andria. We agreed to to create 2 full page spreads in each journal, twice around, beginning with our own. Unfortunately, I was not able to 
make my spreads so I had to send it on and will do them when I receive my journal. 

I used paper, washi tape, chipboard stickers and regular
stickers for this 

For this spread I used paper, a little gesso & blue
watercolor wash, along with more washi, stickers
& mini banners. I also used a cool
Ormolu barcode stamp
that says hand made 

Thanks for stopping by.
