The End ... sort of ...

Body and wings by Crowabout Studio B at deviantscrap.com
Large no.3 stamp by Tim Holtz

I'm not sure why, but I have completed the very last page in my journal .... before I have finished the other pages that is! I rarely work through a journal in a consistent way, I tend to hop about and complete a page as it takes my fancy.

This page is on thick recycled corrugated cardboard. I just LOVE painting on cardboard :-) And the great thing about that, is that it is in plentiful supply.

I added lots of doodling along the way, and then cam across a lovely quote in my vintage quotes book 'and they all lived happily ever after'. Perfect for the last page in a journal don't you think?


The head of of the image was one of the faces I doodled in my Art Doodle Love book a while ago, and I scanned them for use in future journal pages.


I'm loving the way the pages in this journal overlap, and open to reveal just a bit of the page underneath:


So, now I just have to work backwards and fill the rest of the pages in, One day I might even get round to doing the first page LOL!

    Wonderful!!! Did you put this journal together yourself and if so what did you use? I have been following you a little while now and guess what I discovered? I have one of your DVDs -- Art Journaling right from a blank page!! I love it and am learning and yes I am kind of copying your backgrounds - a great way to learn in the beginning. I really love following you ----

      Hi Sandy, yes, I put the journal together myself. I used quite a bit of recyclable stuff - cereal boxes, corrugated card etc, as well as a few large tags, and scans of my previous journal backgrounds. You can see more about it in some of my previous posts. Kate x

    oh that is the perfect quote for your fabulous page! Great idea too to make scanned copies of your faces to reuse. I used to work my pages in order but the last few I just open it to wherever I feel like.
