Yes, I MADE the background – but that was maybe Months ago!
\nI couldn’t use it back then –\u00a0but I used it now to “plonk my photo on”
\nas\u00a0she points it so well!<\/p>\n
Maybe this all\u00a0had something to do with “growing pains”.\u00a0
\nMe, wanting to move on (I\u00a0got a bit bored of the spray ink lately) and trying
\nsomething different for a change – not knowing which direction it will take me.<\/p>\n
And I broke through it, did something “new” after the “wrong layout” (which \u00a0<\/p>\n The first prompt is “WHAT”.

Ingrid Dijkers<\/a> – This was a surprise! I saw her art months ago somewhere \u00a0<\/p>\n I have enough inspiration to get me through the weekend!!! Je t’embrasse!<\/p>\n
\nisn’t really “wrong” after all…) and here’s what I made for my Artful Amblings

\nWhat is it that has stopped you from starting a journal?
\nWhat is holding you back? What is stopping you? What are you afraid of?

\nuse water paint for the background. The circle and little scraps are torn out
\nof and old dictionary – pointing words that relate to my journaling.
\nThe image\u00a0is cut out\u00a0from a fashion magazine. For the title I used an old
\ntemplate that I bought when I started scrapbooking, and the journaling

\nart journal blogs – and I like it a lot. I don’t know where this will bring me, but
\nthe creative journey is interesting and fun and that’s what counts!<\/p>\n
\n(I discovered a few more last weeks, the names are also in my side menu)<\/p>\n
\nI found on the Internet so\u00a0Nancy has a special place in my heart.
\nI still love her way of\u00a0making collages\u00a0and\u00a0how she fools around with
\nimages, words and colours.<\/p>\n
\nand I love the way how she uses her bulk-journaling in her journals!<\/p>\n
\non the Internet and my jaw hit the ground (look at her Alice in Wonderland
\ntunnel book<\/a>\u00a0…) but I forgot to make a note of the site or\u00a0the name of the
\nartist – and I couldn’t remember it later. Last week, Heather put a link on
\nthe “One Year…” forum, and it linked right back to her!!! I found her again!!!
\nYeahaa, thank you Heather!<\/p>\n
\nHope yours will be great to!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
