Hi Sandra - like this post - lots of variety and inspiration. Love the birdcage paper. Looking at your leaf journal background set me thinking (careful!!) about using the leaf as a mask, then designing background, remove leaf, then hey presto - a leaf shaped journalling spot! Enjoy!

...like that idea!!Keep thinking..you have great ideas
Sandra
Glad you liked the powders. Haven't been brave enough to try them myself yet. Building up to it, still finding the randomness (is that a word) difficult to cope with. My life is straight lines, symmetry and predictability, which art journals defy. Watch this space.
I can't wait until the next journaling class. Looking at your backgrounds spurs me on. I will have to do my homework this weekend.
Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. Ashley Smith certainly has a way with words. Certainly something to think about.
