"Hide Me"
Strathmore Visual Journal
Happy PPF!
I hope this finds you happy and well.
I had a go at art journaling this week and wanted to share my progress with you here. Not sure if I'm really done with these pages as I often wonder how much of my art journals are complete without much, um, journaling, but nevertheless, this is what I've come up with:
Vintage Bingo card serves as a hidden flap
Glittered girl underneath
And this page features a fabulous picture of my Grandma (printed on a transparency) back in the day:
"The house the Grandma built"
Thanks for looking! I look forward to seeing all of your pretty pieces at the Party . . . .

Hi Kristin! I always love your backgrounds. Your Hidden Flap is super fun too! Very cool photo of your Grandma. Hugs, kathy
Oh, and lots of color, too! A welcome sight on this cold evening! Love Strathmore journals! I have one, a work in progress, about my favorite books. I include a book review for each one - once an English teacher, always an English teacher - and have artwork to go with them. Your post makes me want to start another one. The creative possibilities are endless!
your sense of colour translates so well to whatever you are turning your hand to... love the bright clean colours in these pages... they look perfectly you!!!!
Oh my gosh.. I adore the take on this fabulous colors
and all the elements on this pages .. those compositions
touch my heart!

These are wonderful. I use lots of faces and houses in my art journals, too. It's so nice to see what others do with them.
Happy PPF!

I know exactly what you mean about journalling on journal pages, I feel the same :-) This is fan, I love the transparency of your Nan.
Visual journaling (that's the way I look at many of my art journals)! I get a strong memory or feeling when I look at some of my pages so I consider it jouranling even if there aren't many words on it...love the flap on yours and the way you use the photo of your grandmother! Happy PPF!
"She said...Hide me."...LOVE that! Very cool journal pages. Happy PPF!
Fabulous journal pages!
What fun layering and colors, Kristin!
Fabulous!!
♥♥♥
Happy PPF!!

Lots of beautiful journaling here, Kristin.
I loe the blue and black on the first page so much. That frame is awesome. Did you know one of my next tattoo pieces will have a frame around it like that? True true!
oh how I loooooove you lady! These are great pages!
love these journal pages, they have such depth and great colour to them! I always try to make art journals and end up writing too much instead :D I think more art than words is preferable at least visually
Oh I just love your journal pages Kristin. Just awesome and full of great color. How I wish I could get into the art journaling but I do a page here, a page there and it's for sure not a daily thing. Excellent job!
Ooh, I love your pages, wonderful color and layering and composition - and what a fun use of the bingo card. I too am bad about actually journaling in my journals - but I've decided I don't care, that art journals should be one place where there are absolutely no rules.
This is fun and colorful. Looks like a Children's story book, which I love no matter how old I get :) ... HPPF
Nice - LOVE the transparency! I'm still trying to get the hang of using those! Really like all your interesting pages. Kristin

Lovely pages in all my favorite colors! Especially love the picture of your grandma and how you printed it on a transparancy. Great work!

You just know how to tell a story without too many words! That's a talent in itself!

I can't believe it has taken me a week to get here and visit! I love your journal pages and think it is so sweet to have a picture of your grandma! I love seeing all the gorgeous vintage pictures and keep thinking I KNOW I have some of my own family that I should use. Thank you for the inspiration to find them!! My pages don't always have a lot "journaling" either. ;)
I really like these pages... the words... the bingo card -- my grandparents ran our church's bingo when i was a kid... and the butterfly wings to the right... great work!
