Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaa!!!
I’m sorry, I’mย sorry if you’re (temporarily) deaf now, but I just had to yell!!
IT somehow has to come out – and because I can’t say anything about IT (yet)
I thought I’d shout!
You don’t have to wait long before I share IT with you though –
I will tell you next week.
Huh? Next week you say? You aren’t going to write blogposts then, are you?
Next week is all about the top 2000 – or am I wrong?
No, you’re not wrong, but IT has something to do with the top 2000.
Sort of. Uhm. Yes.
I better keep my big mouth shut now before I accidentally spill something
and spoil the fun…
Let’s move on to art journaling then, shall we?
While uploading my Chronicles page, I noticed that I was missing
the page of the week before… I told you I was very busy with the
magazine but WOWZAH – I even forgot to photograph and show you
the Chronicles page of week 49!
So here it is sweeties: the missing page
The Chronicles of Marit – Week 49
(Size: 23 x 31 cm - 9.1 x 12.2 inch)
Week 49 was the week I began ‘tweeting’ – remember?
The little birdie testifies of this milestone! The old man was cut out
of a postcard my dad send to me from France one Summer.
Don’t you just love that naughty look in his eyes?
Oh, and I noticed a lot of you find it nice when I tell how I ‘build’ my pages,
so here’s the rest:
Background is acrylic paint (light-blue).
For the week & date I used Tim Holtz alphabet masks and
sprayed with purple ink (Adirondack color wash).
I drew the lines with Copic markers.
The journaling was done with a black Sharpie, as are all the extra little dots
(around the image, at the top etc.)
The Chronicles of Marit – Week 50
(Size: 23 x 31 cm - 9.1 x 12.2 inch)
I started week 50 with paint dots on the pages, but I didn’t like it at all – so I
glued kraft paper over it (you can still see the big paint dots shining through,
but that doesn’t bother anymore). I put images random on the page, and drew
squares using the shapes of the photos. The journaling is done with a brown
fineliner (felt-tipped pen) and the white is done with a Sharpie.
Only 5 days to go before the top 2000 starts!
For the ones who like to play along and send photos of their artwork:
I have an email address especially for emailing your
top 2000 submissions!
(I’m afraid I might become nuts if it all went in my regular inbox…
I can hardly keep my emails organized already!)
Anyway, you can email your stuff by clicking on the link that is at
the top of my side menu – just above the blinkie – and this is the address:
top2000party [at] maritspaperworld [dot] com
and for those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about:
Read all about the upcoming annual TOP 2000 BLOG PARTY
I’ll be back on Friday with my last ‘regular post’ of the year… see you then!

OK, OK… I’ll keep an eye on this blog then! And I think I need to turn on the radio… (No arm twisting needed though, Top 2000 is top priority around this house too!)
