Color Journal

 Oops I got side tracked and forgot to come back and post.  But here I am only one day late.  Ok going to work backwards.   

A new friend Donna told a group of us about a Color Journal that she had started after watching a video on YouTube.  You can click the link below or look up the Video by name.  Once I watched it I was captured, hooked.  I had to start one asap.

Color Journal

Click photos below to see larger close ups.

So I started searching for a journal to use.  Didn't want to Small

or to Big.  
  I searched and searched.  

Come on now I know I have something.  Finally I came across the perfect size.

And was up until 8 am creating my back ground.

Close Ups Left Side below
Now the Right Side below

Now to confess.   I was having a hard time of finding red papers.  I know I have a craft room full SOMEWHERE OUT THERE.  But I wanted to start my journal not search and search. 

Closer up of the words I found

So I made a few pieces myself.  I took pages that were grey and white or another color altogether that was in the same color range like pink or rust and used a Real Red Ink Pad from Stampin Up.  I have circled some of them.  

Now need to work on adding my extras.  Will come back to this page and post as I get the pages finished.   I'm going to also show off Donna's pages as I have gotten her permission.  I forgot to do the first pages to name my Journal.  So after her showing me hers I know I have more to do.  Here is the beginning introduction to her Journal.

Here is her Red Pages.

I'm making these picture small and hoping you can click on them and make them bigger.

Thanks everyone who follows me.  I will post more as I do the page.  But will add more here as I finish my Red Pages.

Posts for Prior Years

I usually do this every January.  This way you don't have to search 
through posts to see what you might want to read from prior years.

What does that mean?

Well if you want to just glance you can look at the pics below.  Click the photo 
below to enlarge.  I'm not sure I posted a pic from each post, but I tried to.

So Click the Photo and it ENLARGES

See something you want to read or check out?

Then click the link above the photo and it will take you to that year.
And if in the photo you seen you wanted to read something in July of that 
year, then once you get to the year then click on the month.  Easy Peasy.

It WON"T 
take you to a page you have to scroll through for weeks to find the
particular post you are looking for.

IT WILL

take you Right to that particular page you are searching for.

So why scroll through each year of posts when you can 
scroll through a review, 
see a brief pic and get a better idea if you want to read that post or not.

So lets get started.

Journaling and Bible Versus

Hello again everyone.  I am a bit behind on posting.  I wanted to ask you all for a huge favor.

Here is the SMASH book I am making for my sister.

I would like to put a bible verse on the page with the tree and the one with the deer.  Two different verses.  I just am lost.  Would love to see some recommendations.  

Here is the link directly to the SMASH book posting.




I'm way behind on working on her book.

Kind of lost the incentive. 
Maybe some help will prompt me on again.

Zendoodles and Crafts I did in Hawaii

Well I went to Hawaii because my daughter needed me.  I was gone 6 weeks and have more time to play over there than I do at home. No pets to take care of or men to pick up after.  So this is what I did.


These are ornaments I made and then abandoned in places so lucky persons could find them and keep them.
There is a group on Facebook called Art Abandonment
Here is the link if you would like to join





The places I left them


Then I got board and tired of making these so I made these to leave around.  
And where I left them


Then I got in the Drawing mood.


I did a couple more smaller ones, but my camera won't let me pull them up.  Crazy thing.

Check my next post for what I was working on for my last 2 weeks in Hawaii.

Here is what my daughter was working on.  She is a graphic design artist.

I wanted to show you the Santa ones because I drew them.




Then I told her she needed to do some for Hawaii and those living there or going or have gone.  lol.




Where can you get these. Well by clicking on the link below of course.

Peace Wreck this Journal Amber

Wow I can't believe I didn't share with you all the 2 Journals / Books I made.
Haven't put anything inside of them yet.   

The first one was made for my sons Girlfriend.  She had so much fun with a store bought
journal called Wreck This Journal that I wanted to make her one.

She loves anything colorful.  So I let her choose the Scrapbook paper to cover the book with. And is MAJORLY into Zebra print.  So she wanted to put some on the binding.

Now let me show you the back first.  I layed the pretty paper down making sure the Peach signs were facing the right way.


Ok now don't laugh, but I layed out the paper just right again for the front of the book.  BUT didn't realize when you put the book into readable position, the peace signs were now 
upside down.




Ok it is kind of funny.  I couldn't wait for Ambers book to be finished.  
I did so much work sewing my pages together
and then getting her binding right.  Guess next time I need to pay
better attention.  

Here is some of the things I wrote down for her to do on the inside

1- using different kinds of lipsticks kiss all over one of the pages.

2- Write down each of your families members names one at a time.  Then beside the name or under or above the name draw a drawing of what comes to mind when you think of this person.

3- Draw 2 columns.   Title one color boys names and one girls names.  Then write under neath them names that you might name your children if you had 12 kids.

4- Using magazines, sales ads, junk mail.......... cover one page with words starting with the letter
    "W"

5- Write down 50 things you love.

6- Using your LEFT hand draw a picture of your boyfriend/ husband/ brother/ best friend.

7- Using Card Stock or sturdy paper.  Take a butter lid that is round.  Draw a circle in middle of the paper.  Take scraps of paper from anything..... construction paper, magazines, junk mail etc. cover the other side just in the middle where circle is.  Hold up to the light so you don't cover more than you need to. (going to far outside the circle lines.  When dry, cut out the circle glue it on a page and name your art.  Don't forget to sign and date it.

8- Using magazines cut out pictures of things you like and make a collage on a 2 page layout.

9- write a short poem on one page.

10 - Write a song about a dog.

11- Draw a picture or cut out one from a magazine and write a short funny poem or story that you might find in a childrens book.

12- What are your favorite foods and drinks...... Find pictures to glue beside each one.

13- Title page with Todays Date, Month and Year.  City and State you live in.
     Then put the following to look back over years from now.  Cost of each item.
Gas Price------------------Slushy-------------Shake-------------French Fries------------Whopper--------Milk------------Bread-----------Lays Potatoe Chips-------------2 Lt Bottle Soda------------
Monthly Phone Bill-----------Happy Meal------------- Movie Theater Ticket------------- Call a high school find out what the cost of a Year book is..............And Prom tickets.


What do you think.  Do you have an idea for what she should do on a page
in Ambers Wreck this Journal.  We would love to hear from you.

The Great Outdoors Journal

More pages more Journals.   Here is my last post about My Journal




My Traveling Art Journal My First Entry



The last entry into the journal said I forgot to take a photo once I added the Fairies.  Well since then the journal came back into my hands.  So I was able to snap a photo of the finished page.  





I also added this tree to the page with the hills.  I need to do more but not sure what I want to add now that I have the Journal back.  Any suggestions???






Here are some art that others have added to my book

I will try to put who did each page.  I hate sharing without giving credit, but they signed the front of the Journal and not the page they did.  I need to take a photo of the Deer Write up about Deer on the page above.  It has some really fun neat information.









This has been so much fun.  I would like to do a swap with others.  But I don't think I want to send my Journal back out.  I'm thinking what might be more fun is for others to do a page for my journal and me do one for there journal.  Then swap them out in the mail.  Once there are arrives then I add it into my Journal.  That way it never leaves my home but it gets filled with fun art from others around the world.  And it would be so much Cheaper than mailing out the entire journal.

Want to join?  Let me know.
