Another experimental Journal

As I was creating the black and white page for the stampotique challenge I was also working on a page for the UK Stampers challenge all about Risk which asked you to use colours or techniques you would not normally use. I painted the page with Black dylusions and stamped a Dylusions circle text stamp. I then went a little bit mad with white paint and my hair dye comb tool. I stamped Olivia and Eric from Stampotique onto a dictionary page using Red Stazon and then using a baby wipe dabbed on the ink pad to add softer details around the page. 

I tore a piece of Lost and Found paper and added ink to the edges. I then stamped a variety of Dylusions hearts and an umbrella, plus a Lost and Found Typewriter, a hat and a TH crown. I journalled around the smaller stamps and then printed out other text onto photopaper using white on black. 

I like this page but I don't think I will be getting the black paint out in such large amounts again as it is a little uncolourful for me. 

House Sketch Challenge for UKScrappers - back to paper

Jasper No - before all journalling revealed

Now you can see all the journalling

I have been loving the art journalling and I think it has given me my scrapping mojo back. With all the big projects last year I did for birthdays, christmas etc I think I had come to find the scrapping a chore rather than the pleasure it was. So here it is a chaotic page about Jasper. It does look like it has had everything but the kitchen sink thrown at it but that's okay I kind of like it. The challenge meant you had to follow the sketch and use 50% journalling - eek not my favourite thing on LOs. I solved it by creating a tag holder that holds five numbered tags and then folds out with more journalling ( I tag stapled to top of layout) and I used some of the journalling tickets I received from secret santa.

Cluttered with details and journalling

I printed out b/w mini photos and stuck to a ribbon to create an extra embellishment, DI on the tickets and more journalling underneath
