Girls with Hearts...

So I think the silhouette masks and stencils are going to be a favourite of mine.  I am just going to have so much fun with them.  I find this page so floaty and happy.  The red hearts are from the Dylusions Inbetweenies stamp set.

I also added a little flower at the end of the heart border stamp.  I have also used white ink to add to the dimension of the silhouettes.

This is a favourite saying of mine (from Dylusions The Right Words stamp set).

Froggies...

I just love to play with the body and head stamps.  I have to say that I really do like this frog head.  I use it a bit and it was the perfect match for this page.

I have used the Dylusions Journal block to draw the border on this page.  I love the effect of using the black ink and the white writing.  It is cool that it makes it look a little like a blackboard.

The background is just a border stamp from the Inbetweenies set.  It is very effective to just have the simple yellow background with the black stamp.

Flowers of Courage...

Don't you just love my finger painting??   This whole page has been done with Dylusions inks and my fingers.  I just love it.

In the picture above you can see where I have used the page to clean my stencil Silhouette.  It just amazes me just what you can make from a page that you have been cleaning your stencils with.

I just love the idea of writing inspirational words down the stems of the flowers.  They are not too obvious but still say what I need them too.

Torn...

I just love working on torn pages.  This is an example of the dimension that you can get just by tearing out a page.

This page was very narrow and I was not really sure what to do with it.  So I just filled it with lots of images that I could colour.  I love how bright and happy this looks

I found this cool picture of a horse in a magazine and it was just perfect for this page.  The colours on this page are just 3 shades of blue.  I have also used white to make the snowflakes.  There is really not a lot to this page but it is just perfect.

Pretty in Pink...

Playing with tags and adding them to your journal page is a great way to add more dimension.  In this pages I have added a tag that I made while trying out a new technique.

I love the colours in this tag.

Under the tag I had to be a little different, so I have added one of my fav phrases.  "suck it up princess" - Just because I could!!  You always have to remember that there are no rights and wrongs in journaling it is all about what you like and feel at the time.

Dotty...

In this page I have used a silhouette stencil and also put a dot stencil with it to get the dots to just be in the silhouette.  I then used a white Sharpie to outline the silhouette.

This is also a page that I have torn out of the journal, then torn in half and then stuck back in using Time Holtz Tissue Tape.  I really love doing this but it did take a bit of getting used to.

I love using this background stamp as a border.  I have it heaps of fun to colour the flowers.  Again I have used the white Sharpie to accent the centers of the flowers.

Soft Kitty...

I have been enjoying playing with different colours.  I love this one as I have only really used blues and yellow.  This page was one where I had been using to clean off my stencils.  The stencil pattern that you can see in white was from cleaning from a previous page.

I have also used the white to stamp the leaf pattern.  I have then used both a white and black Sharpie to outline the image to give more definition.

Don't you just love the spots on the kitty??
