Art Journaling: recipe-card journal. Week 4 LSNED

Hi, hi, hi.

Happy new month to you!

As September is now nothing but a fond[ish] memory, a ship that's sailed, a tea-coloured ring mark on the worktop of the year ... this is my final post documenting my  Learn Something New Everyday [during September]journal.

So here are all the remaining pages:

September 22nd:
That blurry word is not a secret that I've blurred out! It's the word 'books' but the ink has bled into the gesso [I thought gesso was meant to stop just that? Shows how much I know!]

September 23rd:
James didn't watch the programme in question and only came in towards the end when he asked: "Have you been crying through this one too?"

Seems like I've got myself a whale wailing reputation.

September 24th:
 
September 25th:

September 26th:

September 27th:
Believe it or not ... I know I tell you about all kinds of all kinds of things here ... but in the outside world I can tend to play my cards pretty close to my chest ... I need to remind myself to share some things sometimes.

September 28th:

September 29th:

September 30th:
Thanks Dad!

Shimelle [who hosts Learn Something New Every Day] suggested we try to summarise out learning experience during the past 30 days by creating a closing page and, fortunately I already had 31 cards ready because ...

... when I decorated and dated all of my recipe cards at the start of the month, so they'd be all there for me to just add my lesson plus some themed extras, I merrily created and dated one for September the 31st. Quite clearly my mind was in other places during September!

 Closing page ... or'September 31st' as I like to call it:

Thanks for all your kind comments during this project. They, as always, were a treat to find waiting for me in my inbox.
-----------------------------------------------
If you'd like to catch up with any of the previous lessons, plus the folder in which I'm storing the finished journal you can find everything here:
  • Week 1;
  • Week 2;
  • Week 3; and
  • the folder is here.
  • -----------------------------------------------

    Now ... I must go and decide what to do with myself after completing this month-long project ... I'm sure I'll think of something ...

    Soon.

    Julie :-)

    1. I've loved watching all your LSNED posts Julie and it always amazes me the little sentences and snippets that you have plundered to accompany your thoughts - they usually have the ability to strike a chord in me too.

    3. It's been a visual and mental pleasure to read your LSNED cards, Julie - I especially like Sept 26. :) Keeping the same soft colour palette has worked really well too.

    7. I love your LSNED pages....my unused 'revision' cards are now seriously excited at being *prettified* and are grateful that you have finally shown me a way it can be done.
