How is / was your Monday? I managed to finish off a mini-book for Papercraft Inspirations, conquer the camera-timer so I could take outfit photos of myself and make a rather tasty chilli-con-carne using homegrown tomatoes ... so I'm calling that A Good Day.
I do have more Purple Phase posts to come this week but I thought I'd get as up-to-date as I can with my Learn Something New Every Day pages. I really appreciate the great feedback you've been leaving for me about them ... thank you. Some of the comments have made me consider making a some sort of tutorial / step-by-step type thing in a similar style ... so if that's something you'd like to see, just let me know.
Here we go then ...
Sept 18: 'Captured'
While giving the sofa its annual [if it's lucky] cleaning and vacuuming pampering-session I turned around to be greeted by a lens:
Sept 19: 'Breathe ... and try again .. and again.'
Sept 20: 'Signature Style'
When Shimelle's prompt mentioned thinking about our signature style there were certain things which leaped to mind immediately. I'm sure there are others ... but I put down the most obvious. I find it both strange and reassuring to realise that I do have an identifiable 'me' style.
Sept 21: 'Matters'
If I'm going to have to suffer Death-by-Powerpoint all day ... telling me what I do at work matters is a good way to start the day!
Sept 22: 'Speaking Up'
So, I spoke up and it was fine. But I wanted to say SO much more. [It's probably best I didn't though ... for now.]
I don't know where 'Mr. Smith' comes into this .. but this snippet fits the theme and made me smile!
Sept 23: 'Books lovely books'
Unlike the model I used on this page, I didn't actually wear a leather mini-skirt and caress the bookshelves in the Helmsley bookshop ... else I might not have come away with quite as many bargains as I did.
I might have been politely escorted out instead!
Thanks for dropping in today. I'll see you very soon with an Purple Phase post.
Julie :-)
The last picture and comment made me smile as I got a few bargains there last month to use in my journalling. Happy times :0)
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great talent, yes please to a tutorial. I wish I could art journal, I lap up as much info on them as I can, but I suppose atsome point I need to jump in :)
ReplyDeleteI love your collage style.. yes tutorials please.. love it... I do paper collage too.. and yet we are all unique and different.. I'd love to learn more about your process! hugs xo
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, please do do a tutorial - I'd really like to learn/practise. Looking forward to more purpleness: I am preparing (eek) to dye a skirt purple in your honour. AND I made a LO today with lilacs and purples ...
ReplyDeleteI'm all for tutorials, although I think once upon a time I was relaxed enough to follow along, now I'm not so sure!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a tutorial. In the weekend I endeavoured to create some pages "in your style" but I didn't get it right. I think I am scared of white space. I also love how you put together tiny pieces of this and that and it works. I worry too much about what goes with what, logical left brain works too hard. LOL
ReplyDeleteI've never colleged, but you make it looks so fun!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing that you had actually created some of the layouts for this project before you filled them in? This is something I would very much like to see a tutorial in as I usually find I'm not able to do a whole page at once (as I'm disabled) so end up not starting at all.
