An Insight to my Journey!

Soul Journey!

....

Here is a peek into my personal journal.

It is a Fabric journal of quotes-songs-friends and stories that

have a special place in my soul for life.

I designed this so that I can add to it for many, many years to come!

This is my diary......

.

A Fabricated Journey!

....

Escape....fly free and touch the sky!


Awake early in the morning,
Go out into the open,
nature is trying to say something.


A home is.....
A nest for dreaming
and a shelter for imagination.


This page has hidden openings and books of quotes all relating to the Home!



It is amidst moments of Tranquility
that the Soul is most likely to show
some hidden magic!

O.K. I don't like to scrapjack but I had too.

I adapted this page from an idea I saw in a Somerset magazine.

Each envelope has a tag inside with a life quote and place for comment/date

which over time I have & will ask friends to pick one and write in it!

I had an education in Art and design for many, many years and this

quote simply reminds me how much of my life

is and has been based on

that passion..... and creativity!

It must be Love.

Potage Au Revoir!

This journal was made by me from chipboard, Vintage lace and fabrics,

scrap embellishments and some wonderful papers.

I have not shown the entire journal however over time I will show more pages here.

.

It is 'completely' hand sewn and took many, many months to make

and will take many more years to never be completed.

Relaxation therapy or madness!!!!

It's just turned lunch time and already I've been asked four times in the last hour if I'm crazy??

This is a layout for this weeks colour palette challenge at

'the color room'

Purple, white and 2 shades of green.

The crazy Q'n comes from the hand stitching of the tree branches....

Yes I did!!.

Stitching is my form of relaxation.

I have three crazy kids 7.5.3 who during the day drive me to a state of total insanity.

So that's why stitching (and scrapping) is therapy for me.

thanks for dropping by! G

A bit more paper this time.

Occasionally I like to do layouts that are more based around paper or acetate than fabric

This is on my wedding day as I was walking to the car.

Anxiety and nervousness was starting to set in as well as ...I was so fed up with the photographer he got this look ! ( and a few choice words).

This layout was done for thecolorroom.ning.com

palette#7 Orange, green, yellow and pink/mauve

what a hard colour combo!!!!!!!

Eating Strawberries.

I've Turned up the volume for this layout and added some bright hand embroidered flowers

I wanted to add some playfulness to the layout,I think
these colours achieved that.


back to something more serene and angelic.
Angel...what I see when I look at you.
Well my daughter is older now and I see things a little bit differently most of the time now also.
i really like working with acetate on layouts, great to add dimension.

With a piece of cardstock!

My daughter MacKenna went to a Birthday party in a 'total princess dress'

and within 10 minutes this is where I found her.....

in an old concrete drain surround having a bath and washing her hair!

So often layouts can cost a fortune but not this one-90cents on a piece of Bazzill cardstock.

On this layout I did some serious doodle drawing!

The hand cutting with a blade and hole punching was a bit exhausting though I must say.

I like the effect.

I love Chocolate!

One of my favourite colours to scrap with is chocolate and of course

eating it at the same time is just 'heaven'.

Add a splash of turquoise!

and a hint of green.....



Switch to orange for Autumn!


With rich Dark chocolate Satin and Burn't Red...




Pale pink, yellow, gold and red.........

and Chocolate satin upon a chipboard overlay

stay with the autumn colouring!

OH! But sometimes I like to get a little darker and use my true love......

BLACK!

I hope you like them.....

thanks for looking. G
