shcg: this is just delightful. fun to look at and the work you put into this is obvious. i love the doodled edges. at first glance(one or two seconds) i didn't like the dark yellow tones, but looking at the whole thing it works well being lessened by the lighter pattern, and the other cheery colors.
SHCG: What a FUNGI! Yellow is such a happy color and you did it justice with this great journal cover. The mushroom/rainbow paper is so fun and reminds me of the '60s. Your handwriting is just fabulous I just wish you had a few other colors to tie it to the paper. Now how about the back?
SHCG: I loved this right off the bat, but I didn't realize how much until after I read your description and everyone's comments. You put such great creative energy behind this with the masking and writing on a transparency. Sharon, Jen, and Tiff conveyed my sentiments exactly about how this makes me feel. I was so drawn to your work that I bought myself a kit of this SL line for myself yesterday. :) Perfect way to represent your BWC. Can't wait to get a chance to respond.
SHCG: Too cute! I love the pp elements on the bottom... looks like a collage rather than being printed that way... am I right? You did a great job with it if so.
SHCG - Like Jen said, this makes me happy just to look at! I love the sunny colors & uplifting images. The mask-painted background is fabulous & the paint-pen transparency cut-out doodles are absolutely terrific! At 1st I thought the black was a little strong for this, I thought perhaps a dark blue would've been better...but now I think it works well, it really helps to make the doodles & writing stand out, plus it ties it all together w/ those perimeter doodles. Love the smiling mushrooms. Love this overall! What a joy to have this be the cover of your art journal! Even if you journal on not-so-happy days, this cover is sure to help take you to your happy place & remind you of what a lucky (& creative) woman you are. TFS!!
SHCG: How much fun is this?!? It makes me happy to look at it!! Those smiley mushrooms are adorable!!! Love all the color on this, your masking and the layers in the design. This is definitely going into my favorites!!
SHCG: Marlene! This art journal cover is sooooo freaking fabulous. *stomps feet over the cute factor here* It has a total harajuku feel to it and I adore that! I am sure that this will inspire you artistically...how could it not???? I love the idea with the transparency. It really looks fabulous here. It reminds me of shrinky-dinks a little, but way better! I want an art journal now, too! Super job!
SHCG: Marlene -- I just adore how this turned out. It's so happy and bright! The perfect thing for something fun! Love the Sassafras you used. Just perfect! And the masking is a wonderful touch to the whole thing. Awesome job!
i LOVEEE this book!!!! i really want to get those masks!! i think im gonna splurge a little..haha..not that i ever deprive myself...lol...but this is just soooooo sweet!! and i didnt realize you had actually handmade those doodles yourself!! it really looks like something id buy in a store....thats a really neat idea though -- gonna try that!!!
Cover of my new art journal :) I painted over yellow cardstock with the mask. The doodles and word happy I wrote on a transparency with a paint marker, cut out and glued down with Zip Dry glue. TFL!
