altering thoughts

I have tried before to make journal pages but was never satisfied with the results. A couple of weeks ago Julie on The Land of Lost Luggage wrote a day by day tutorial and yesterday I sat down and had a try. I must say I am delighted with the result. I have a drawer on my desk where I stick bits and pieces and I just dibbed into that and let it happen. Page 1

See that little tree, remember the cut out in my little book....well it just shows you should never throw anything away!!!!! The "doorway" came about because I was adhering the square with some interference white and when I tried to reposition it, it left a frosty "frame" which I loved.
I am still sewing as well and trying to notice details and come up with some inspiration for TIF but I really have enjoyed my paper based activities.
