International Journal Swap update

I'm in the process of decorating the cover of my journal. The theme is Heavenly Gardens. I've got a button on the sidebar that will take you right to it but as yet there is nothing there. Myself and the other 14 artists are due to post out our journals by 1st July. The tension is mounting! But I've got my idea for the sign in page now and this is half the battle, deciding on which route to take. I'll upload more piccys before it goes and then I won't see it for over a year, but I'll be able to follow it's progress via the button. There are some really challenging themes in others journals and I'm looking forward to working in them with some trepidation and excitment all rolled into one. This is the first time I'll have participated in a swap of this kind.

  1. Oh this looks so interesting! You're temping me but I'm resisting because my home is BURSTING we crafting stuff and if I fall in love with a new media I'll actually have to move into my car and just come home to make things! Lots of love, Amanda xxx

  3. That looks `heavenly`, Shaz, truly beautiful. Is that paper or material you`re using for the cover? I love the roses and the colours go really well together. Well done.

  6. This is very Beautiful. In answer to your question about using tissues and napkins on my journal, yes I did. I also print some of my own tissue papers with images that I like and want then on tissue paper.

  9. This truly looks heavenly! So pretty.

    I have just started a journal workshop and my theme is vintage gardening - gardens are just so inspiring.

    I will go and look at the link on your sidebar now.

    Have a great week.
