Hi there,
Just a quickie post to share my latest page from Saturday.. and to muse about something which could well become my latest obsession..
I have not yet done pages for Thursday or Friday and I'm beginning to fear I'm falling behind now. Eeeeek! I just HAVE to speed up my scrapping process. Some people's pages look as if they were put together in five minutes - but in a VERY good way! I often labour painfully over my pages - and these are often the pages I am least happy with. When a page comes together quickly and easily I am very pleased!
So here is Saturday's page, about (another) trip to the park in which I rediscovered the thrill of finding shiny brown conkers.
Here is a peek at the journaling which is under the photo:
For a while I've been becoming intrigued by art journaling. Some of the work I've seen around the web is utterly fantastic and so inspiring.. I would LOVE to be able to do it! Then this evening I was having a browse in the Altered Art forum on UKScrappers when I came across a post about a new class by Dina Wakley. I couldn't resist having a peep at her website - her work is awesome - all-out art journaling as well as scrapbook layouts with an arty twist. Now I am getting VERY tempted to sign up for one of her online classes, Art Journaling 101.
It could fit in rather nicely with Learn Something New Every Day - the idea of treating myself to a new skill..? (Here I'm trying to convince myself the investment is a good idea, and that I really could squeeze a few more hours into my day ;-) Or should I wait til after LSNED finishes? It is a self-paced class so I could always start in October.. but I'm just too impatient!
If anyone has any experience of art journaling and/or Dina's classes, any comments/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks for reading!
