Journal Journey's Ch8

Hello every one. When I set the challenge for last month to be April Showers I hardly thought we would get SO much rain as we did, My garden is well an truly soaked so lets hope the sun is around the corner and the heat will will soon be here. As always I would like to thank those who played along, we had some newbies who joined in welcome to you. And all of you didn't disappoint there were some fab colour textures and techniques ;0) And so we're on to May and I hope you will join in this month as this is a little different..........

'Once upon a time'

I really  like the idea of fairy tails and story time so I combined the two in this months spread I am going to share with you. I love spending time reading with my grandson as I did my children before him. And weather it's bed time or the middle of the day it's always so enjoyable for me to read with the children. Now I want to see lots of surprises this month what does once upon a time mean to you? Please share your ideas with us this month, don't forget anyting goes you can do a calendar page with a theme that fits, or you can play with the idea of books, fairies, prince charming, sleeping beauty, whatever comes to mind. Here is what I did for this month I hope it brings inspiration to you ;0)

I hope you will join in and play along for this month. Add your post to the linky ;0) Love Dawn xx

Freedom

This is another page in my Thankful Journal, 'Freedom To Choose' It's a wonderful gift given to us by the lord. We are not forced to be one thing or another we choose the people we want to be first through our thoughts and secondly through our actions. 

I had a lot of fun making these pages. I am sure we all would choose to be free to do our own will and this is truly a wonderful gift that I am thankful for. I am also going to enter this in SSS&S as anything goes this week ;0) Don't forget the monthly Journal Challenge, please click the photo in the side bar to join in this months 'April Showers' theme. Not that I haven't had enough of rain this month already lol Keep warm and dry this month if you can. Love dawn xx

Journal Journey's Ch07

Another month has passed and we are racing through the year like no bodies business. so much so I missed the beginning of the month  lol so I'm sorry this months challenge is a little late. I would like to thank those who joined in last month as always wonderful examples. We had a wonderful month here in the UK weather wise, it truly was a beautiful spring month. It's now April, the weather is on the change yet again and we have another challenge.

April Showers.

So I would like to see some reference to rain or see some rain in your journal entries this month. We have a forecast this week for snow! It's too much for me, after eating out side and hanging out washing to dry, now I have to get my jumpers out again and pop the heating on! I do hope more of you will show your work I really would love to see. Here are are some photos of my page to help inspire.

Please join in, I really do love looking at others journal work as every one is so different. Leaving a link to the post your sharing your work of. I look forward to stopping by to see you this month. Dawn xx

Journal Journey Ch06

THIS IS A STICKY AND WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP FOR MARCH PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS THANK YOU.

Hello everyone ;0) It's nice to be back with Journal Journey's and thank you to all those who e-mailed left messages etc. Apparently although not many participate on line with us, many do love to join in, this is a comfort to me and thank you for letting me know. So here I am for March.

I thought we would start with an easy one so lets go with:-

 SPRING!

There are so many things to love about spring. The warmer weather (although it has been known to snow in March) the new flowers (I have some daffodils and crocus already popping in the garden) the bird song and the colour ;0) so I want you to have a think and come back with either a single or double spread with paint, ink, crayons, material,stencils, collarge anything you like, like I said nice and easy let the artist in you go wild.

You can enlarge this so you can get a full detailed view as I have only put the one photo up this time, I hope you find it inspiring and it will encourage you to have a go. Please remember to leave a link on your post to this post and when you upload your photo please only leave a link to your actual post as this challenge lasts a month and it may be difficult for others to find. Thank you. Also, feel free to take my Journal Journey's Button (It's Free ha ha) Love Dawn xx

Home ;0)

Hello, what does Home mean to you. Here is where this spread came from. My thoughts on what home means to me. I have been playing in my A4 Journal. I fell in love with the back ground colours, they feel so warm/hot. I doodled a bit up the sides, I really enjoy doing this now and again.

The one thing about home I always said to my boys is that you will always be safe here and you will know your loved. Family is important to me I think much more about it now than I did when I was younger it's become even more important  to me as I grow older I hope That my boys will take these things to their homes when they settle. Hope you are having a good day as well. Love Dawn xx

Thankful for Spring

Hello again fellow journalers. I thought I would put a Spring page in my Thankful Journal. I have many things to thank the Lord for but Spring is very special isn't it so here is a new page to help inspire for your Spring Journal Challenge I thought I would use lots of scraps and an old tag I had made a long time ago enjoy the day. Love Dawn xx

Morning. More colour and techniques. I loved putting the paste through the stencil then transferring the photo on to it. It allowed the diamond pattern to show through. I also love all the doodling as well, it's really nice to play around doing lots of different things ;0) Love Dawn xx

Scraps & Tags

The majority of this is scrap! and a couple of tags I have made in the past. I thought I would stick some of my tags in my journals because I love to make them but I don't use them as tags so this is the perfect excuse ;0) All the paper you see in this spread is scrap from my scrap draw (a very full draw but only a draw lol) I have seen some scrap cupboards in blog land ha ha. What do you do with your scraps? Love Dawn xx

December?

I had this ready for Journal Journeys in December lol and forgot to post it. I thought since I did one on Spring this was for a Winter theme. But dizzy as I am a forgot to post it lol any way here it is for you to have a look at now. Love Dawn xx

Messing Around

Good morning. I love messing and getting all inky, journaling is the perfect media for this ;0) I have used a few techniques and I really had lots of fun doing this page. I hope your journaling to. Let me know what your up to and I can stop by for a nosy. Love Dawn xx
