Lou xx

Just had to recheck the criteria.. if we could use just one or had to use both the photos for inspiration... but see that 1 is ok....

Love all the criteria except the last one..... journalling block indeed...
M you know I dont really journal... but yes I have an idea for this.....

May even make a mini start on this today..??? But I can broaden my ideas for an image now I have reread the criteria...lol

I don't like journalling either Lou and yes its your choice in regard to the photo's.....

Well I have had a productive morning with so far... have found a perfect image... picked my papers and embellies.. just got to work out the LO now.... Think you have inspired me to do another LO M... bye the way... where is yours for this challenge??? LOL!!!!!
L xx

Yeah I haven't done an example that is why I have the inspiration pictures but it's on my to do list lol...... Along with a hundred different things I want to do lol....
The first tutorial is up at artist class for the wall hanging so I really want to to do that, just not sure I have enough material so might have to do that on the weekend.....
Looking forward to seeing your layout......

I love shabby....but cant do much while I am here.....and then I am back at work...but I will see....we have until the end of the month...right???

Hi Judi yes you have until the end of the month to upload into the gallery, enjoy your holiday away...

You will be pleased to know M.. my LO for this is coming together well today.... waiting for paint to dry atm... Have even managed the vintage tag...lol... well sort of anyway..... lol
I just needed a little break from the swap stuff.... to get some creativity back...

Ok..... just had to recheck the criteria.. to make sure I have everything covered..... M is it OK to have flowers in the paper and as an embellishment???
Thanks
L

Yes no problems at all Lou....

Thanks M.... just had a wee heart attack....LOL! would have been a bit stuck if it was one or the other.....

Lol at least you work in the right department lol you would get first class care....

Tooooo funny M.... yes..... But when I was in coronary care.... I went private..... But yeah did present at Mareeba first....

Am just loading a pic of my journalling block in the gallery... I just cant seem to get a clear pic today....sorry.. but this is going to slip into an envelope on my LO so need a separate pic.... if I manage a better one later will replace it... just totally over my camera atm...

Ohhhh damn.... I thought this had to be a LO... now have just realized it could have been an OTP.... OH well M... you have inspired me to do LO.. haven't done one for a while.....

You could always do both lol..... Love your little journalling block that's gorgeous....

Thanks M.... you are sure it is OK for this??? Have never done anything like that before.....
I really like how at the tip of the block it has "personal" you will see that poking out of the envelope.... like her darkest thoughts..hrmph... a woman's work is never done... lol!
That is my thinking behind it anyway.... lol
