I finished a couple of pages at the crop...

My monthly girls crop was fabulous! We always have such a great time together. I'm mad at myself for not taking a picture this month tho - ack! I got so caught up in the fun that I forgot all about it. Oh well. I did do a bunch of backgrounds and collages in my art journal, which I will share as soon as I finish them up with the journaling. Here are my last couple of days' pages...




I originally titled this one "Little Wonders," because of my fascination with birds. Then it made me think of the song by Rob Thomas, which sent my journaling in a whole different direction. I love it when that happens...

I know I've got some questions to answer and I have not forgotten - I will get to them soon, and if you have anymore, feel free to leave them in the comments! Thanks so much for visiting!!! I appreciate you!

I love the white background on the first one with the bits of colour at the top and bottom very eye catching. I LOVE you hand writing and the titles that you do as well. I am practising to try and get it nice enough that I like it for my own art journals. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing more great pages again. I love all the designs you drew on the first one. The second one is so pretty with the yellow/orange background, love your little bird.

Such happy pages these are.

The lyrics kill me - Meet the Robinsons is one of my top 5 movies of all time!!!
Are these pages from your NME journal? Or the NME Variations?

Love these pages, especially the yellow/orange/blue with the bird. Is the dark semi-circle pattern a part of the paper, a stamp or stencil - it adds such a nice touch. Thank you for sharing these pages.

Thank you everyone, for your nice comments! I really appreciate them.

Trece, these are pages in my regular art journal. I've integrated some of my "No More Excuses" practices into it.

Aundria,the orange semi-circle pattern is part of the paper. It's made by Studio Calico and it's called "doily."

Hope that helps!
