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

Getting messy

Hi ya guys, thought I would drop by and show you an A5 size page I did last month. I have quite a few journal pages I would love to share with you I just haven't got round to posting them yet. However, I will be doing my Journal Journey's Challenge tomorrow so I hope you will stop by and join in ;0)

Not the best photo in the world. Can you see the face in the rose? I like to collect scraps of magazines, usually the free ones from the supermarkets. There are a mix of a few techniques. This only took a short time, you know when you just see an aspect (the eggs for me in this case) you just know you could have some fun with this and so I got out my arty stuff and had lots of fun on a fairly small page A5 but had lots of fun. Hope you have some fun in your journal soon. Love Dawn xx
