I was blown away...I have always loved Shari's style and couldn't resist her invitation to join in her new adventure...Art Journaling which will be a regular monthly feature on her blog exploring different styles and techniques. But I'm a little wary of sharing my first ever foray into this world...I did have great fun in the attempt...made a few boo boos along the way and at more than one point in the creative process I was very tempted to ditch it all and start over but hey it's all about practice makes perfect. I started out following the VIDEO where Shari walks you through the whole creative process but when I tried to put my own spin on it...I think I may well have over-egged the pudding...but hey ho...although I'm not entirely sold on it...it won't be going in the bin but sitting in the cubbyhole as a reminder that I'm still very much a virgin art journaler who's looking forward to the next step in the journey...
it all went horribly wrong when I tried to apply the embossing paste through the stencil...obviously either the stencil didn't lie flat enough on the crease of the page or I had too much paste ending up with a bit of a gloopy mess...
and I didn't fare much better with the second attempt...not enough embossing paste this time I suspect...
but I soldiered on...
And a little something that's been bugging me...I'm convinced that the word "JOURNALING" should have 2 LL's but apparently not..so there...that's me told...not as hot at spelling as I thought. Can you believe it's the last day of January already and tomorrow we have Timmie's "12 Tags of 2013" February Tag to look forward to...see you bright and early.
