Christmas Circle Journal

My page for Joanne's CJ. I really like how it turned out. I'm not sure my journalling of our Christmas Eve traditions is that great but I like the "look" of it. LOL

Finally, a new share?

I have so many things that I have taken pics of and want to get on here but, for some reason or another, I haven't managed it. So, instead of worrying about what "needs" to go on here, I'm just gonna stick some out here!

These are pages for Patti's Christmas Circle Journal. When I got her's, I thought "oh goodie, no theme. this will be easy". Well, not so much. I knew I wanted to color block & I was pretty sure which images I wanted to use. I first stamped them all on white copy paper, cut them out leaving a bit of border around each. I messed around placing them, cutting them down farther or marking the ones that needed to be bigger. Then, I filled in the spaces with images that fit the area and theme. Then, I tried to determine what colors would work best. I should have had more red & green but, I need to color some images so that required they be on lighter colors. After alot of work, it turned out fairly cute. On to the next journal!!!

Finished Journal Page

Yes, they did finally get completed! All 16 of them. I ended up w/4 leftovers. I have no idea what to do with them??

I really did like the end result. The flowers were a pain. Stamping DIRECTLY on the page did cause some problems. I ruined a whole pre-colored page by not paying attention (and using KILLER adhesive that will NOT let you reposition. EVER!!) Oh, I did a matching ATC. I gotta find one & share that here too.

I LOVED Shack-a-palooza!! I can't wait for next year. Everyone who has the opportunity MUST go!!!

Shackapaloosa Circle Journal

I'm participating in the CJ for 'palooza. These are the elements of my pages. I'm hoping I'll have them together before we leave; doesn't look good.

Holiday Circle Journal

Angie started a Holiday Circle Journal swap over on the Shack. We all pick a theme & send it off to 6 others. Here is the start of my journal.

Can you believe I am STILL not done w/that Circle Journal

It's been one disaster after another. It is getting done tonite OR ELSE!! I AM mailing it tomorrow (don't want to pay the higher rates, how's that for motivation???) I already have Sheri's for the next round and had this silly dream that I would get them BOTH done & send them off to Cindy. Hahahahaha!! Oh well. I'll get Sheri's done & gone by the end of next week.

Since my computer crashed AGAIN, I'll have to look on my EHD to find the card pics. I WILL try to post something soon.
