Partway through working on this journal page the postman brought me a parcel -
... some Milton Bradley Flashcards I won on Ebay :) So the theme for my page became numbers; I added a selection of rub ons by 7 gypsies alongside one of the numbers from a card. There's also a snippet from the customs label.
I'm LoViNG working in these small journals. I used my Dylusions paints on a pre-gessoed page in my tiny Gorjuss notebook :)
This page, however, has no gesso in sight!
More busy workdesks available over at The Stamping Ground hosted by the wonderful Mrs Dunnit :)
Given your pages are so gorgeous, the lack of gesso is forgiven! I love going round seeing what everyone's doing and being inspired. Thank you for inspiring me.
ReplyDeleteOh, and given you live in Sale and I live in Withington, maybe we should have a play date sometime. I promise not to force gesso on you!
Why did I think you lived in New York?!!
ReplyDeletelovely yummy journal pages Sarah
ReplyDeleteTotally loving those pages - especially the first one with the 5 on!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of colour on the pages - my fav is the one with the numbers 1-5 down the side! Hugs, LLJ xx
ReplyDeleteYour pages look fab - but what have you got against gesso?!
ReplyDeleteOh you make that look like so much fun - I need some flashcards!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those numbers - ooh!! And your pages are brilliant, all of them. Gesso's brilliant x
ReplyDeleteI really love your pages and must admit I am trying very hard not to get into journalling as I know I'll be obsessed. I'll make do with drooling over other blogger's pages.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased and relieved you received (and like) the matchbox I sent. I'm off to Germany to see the little one in the morning! So excited!
love Jo x
Fabulous pages Sarah. Enjoy your new cards.xx The rub-ons look great. I especially love your butterflies.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I don't think I've been to Sale since I was a child..we used to own a narrow boat.. I always remember the water being orange at Worsley!
