A Journal Spread..............................


I took some time, yesterday, to work in my art journal. I really enjoy, this time, as it's so relaxing with no deadlines, no pressure and it really helps me to be more spontaneous; I sometimes feel it's the real me ya know? Hmmmmmmmmm. That's a heavy thought.

Anyway; with this spread, I've combined stencils, stencils w/ molding paste, gel transfers (images from old photos), embossed aluminum foil for frame and corner embellishments, acrylic paints, and more.

If you haven't already left a comment to my previous post, please feel free to enter my Blog giveaway. Deadline is Friday, June 19th :)

I hope your weekend is joyous!

Much love - Marilyn xxoo

Love the color combos Marilyn in your journal spread--very cool how you used molding paste in it. I never thought of using that in my journal. Sometimes it's nice to work for ourselves w/o a lot of pressure behind us.
