Yesterday was my all day out with a friend to the "big" city of Springfield Missouri to visit our accountant for taxes and then go out for lunch and visit craft stores.
I was good and did not pick up too many items. I didn't need fabric, couldn't find stencils I liked, but did pick up a couple new stamps.
I printed off 40% off coupons for the both of us for three different stores and we went to two of the stores. I have been wanting a Paris stamp and found a few and chose this one.
I created another journal page in my recycled spiral cookbook-now mixed media journal. I will share it at AJJ for Hearts theme and on Try it on Tuesday for recycled or green. (green leaves in the paper, green heart, green ink for Paris stamp, green color pencil for table and chairs, recycled magazine pages for hearts)
Note: photos will enlarge just click on them
I am pleased with the results-I don't plan out any of my pages I just create what ever happens. I grabbed a couple stamps and went through my stash of papers. Now that I view my page in a photo-I should have overlapped the thin heart over on top of the chair.
I chose to use a sheet of paper with leaves and dried plants inside of it, that was in my gift box from Mia last year. I glued that down to my journal page-then I had two strips of scraps so I stamped the Paris stamp in green and also black and decided to use the green. They both looked nice on the page. I also used one of the scraps to write Loving on to.
I used scraps of recycled magazine pages to cut out the hearts. I then took some color pencils and added some greens to the table and chair (That bit of purple in the upper corner of the Paris stamp is not yet dry glue that will dry clear.)
