I think the fact that you had so many pages stored up and shared them all at once helped give us a great 'feel' for the whole project. So many emotions and memories gathered up so beautifully! I don't know which is my favourite; the eye is very striking, especially knowing the trouble you've had, and I love the beer one. I think, though, I'll have to go with the honeymoon spread. As you said yourself, just married and riding a unicorn - brilliant!!!Róisínhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221357100369170369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198853951847315100.post-57843839710371865362011-05-30T13:04:35.886-04:002011-05-30T13:04:35.886-04:00what fabulous journal pages.

People can create art or altered journals in any book that they feel comfortable working in. Some like to work in sketchbooks or moleskine books but a bunch of folks (including myself) really enjoy taking old books we find at garage sales, freebie bins, etc and giving them a new life as our journals. <br /><br />I like to draw right over the text most of the time, but occasionally block things out with white paint before coloring so they'll stand out. Others will sometimes paint over the entire page and start with a blank canvas. It all depends on how you're most comfortable working. :)Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686692876719223611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198853951847315100.post-46419052710242111242011-05-29T19:49:48.237-04:002011-05-29T19:49:48.237-04:00These are such fabulous fabulous journal pages!
