journal page - jazzin' the blues away!

Another journal page spread I have been doing off and on, this is what I love about journalling, you don't have to rush and need never say it's finished, as you can always return and add some more, as and when you feel like it.   Some of you may remember the fabric collage I did, using this Stamps Happen stamp from Janlynn, Jazz Quartet.  I have used it again here, I coloured the image with Derwent Inktense, as I wanted it to be waterproof for decoupaging, I cut the figures into two parts and used them in the decoupaged pages, other images are from paper napkins.


When I am using inks/paints I always glue two pages together, to make them stronger, as you'll see the pages still warp, wrinkle and curl, but that doesn't worry me, in fact I quite like it!

Hi Nettie!

Thanks so much for your visit and lovely comment.

Your journal pages are wonderful. I think journaling is one of the best forms of self-expression.

I also quite like when the pages wrinkle and warp ;)Gives them age and character!

Thanks again~
Calli
