Travellogue 2C (2)

I received and have finished working on Michelle's travelogue journal. Her theme "The Divine Feminine" caused me to do some deep soul searching and on the whole it was a cathartic experience for me.
I absolutely love the idea of these circle journals, as they cause one to reflect and think outside the normal safety zones of our lives.



Her journal is absolutely lovely and I am only honoured to be able to share a little of myself with her and the other woman around the world, to whom this journal will be travelling.



Thank you to the ladies in the Your Paper Pantry Travelogue 2C group.

Playdate with Dianne

I had a playdate with Dianne and Jill today and we worked on a variety of tags, inspired by Tim Holtz new dies and goodies. We played with a number of techniques and my, did the time fly. First we made some stamp pads, and as I do not have any TH Xmas stamps yet, I made a colourful pad for a Arty stamp.
I was completely fascinated by the fun Dianne was having with the haunted house and rickety fence dies, and so I just had to have a go at working with that.
My little summer house by the beach/lake.
I then went on to playing with one of TH's paper ribbon flowers and built on something around that using a few of his products. Great fun!

My colourful stamp pad behind the new sticky tape flower, and using the film strip ribbon, and a muse token. I also used a sticker for his salvage sticker booklet.
Then last but not least, I got down to a  Christmas tag, which I absolutely adore. I used the TH faceted fragments, the Pine tree die, playing with putting the snow on the tree and some of his new velvet pleated ribbon. Yummy stuff.

Halloween in Wonderland - an Inspiration

I attended Carol's retreat in Tauranga over the weekend and my friend brought along a mini that she had made for me. We had made a pact at the previous retreat that we would swap minis made for each other, not for photographs or journalling, but purely inspirational. Well, I was the very lucky recipient of my mini over the weekend. It is absolutely gorgous, Thanks Shell.
