J52 - Word of the Year

I have decided to try and take part in J52 again this year, even though I haven't quite finished last year's themes, but I do intend to get them done eventually!   Our theme for this week is to choose a word for the year, and the word I have chosen is Relax because I don't do enough of it and I need to!

Journal52 - The Road Less Travelled

I am way behind with these prompts but here is my version of The Road Less Travelled on Journal52 - as usual I interpreted it my way to fit in with what materials and thoughts I have available!

Journal52 - Mail Art

This prompt was from a few weeks ago on the Journal52 challenge.  I think we were supposed to use things that come in the mail for our page but I decided to interpret it literally and used some stamps in my collection that were ideal and some bits and bobs from my stash instead!  I water coloured the large postcard stamp with Distress Inks - I don't think I've used this stamp before and I know I have had it for some years now!

J52 - Small Success

I am playing catch up with Journal52 and am a bit out of sequence but I will get there in the end I hope!  The theme a few weeks ago was Small Success - so when in doubt I find a quote I can use!  I hope it is near enough the theme to count!

Journal52 - Sillhouettes

Our prompt for week 4 on Journal52 is Silhouettes, and I am pleased to say I am keeping up so far! My page this time is all Distress Inks, no sprays this time.  I always seem to think of this stamp when Silhouettes are mentioned, although I think I might need to invest in a new black ink pad fairly soon as it looks a bit pale!

Journal52 - Conversation Starter

The prompt on Journal52 this week is Conversation Starter.  I was stumped for a while as to how to go about this one, but then remembered a conversation with my mum last week about her plans for the garden this summer so that seemed a good one to go with!

Journal52 - Just Be

The second prompt on the J52 challenge is Just Be.  I have finished my page with time to spare for a change, I doubt I will be able to keep this up though!  I used a mixture of sprays, inks and stamps for the background and found that my Posca white pen still works even though I haven't used it for a while so that is a plus!

Journal52 - Pathways

While blog hopping the other day I came across a challenge that I would like to take part in this year - if I can keep up with it!  It is a weekly journalling challenge called Journal52 and the prompt for week 1 is Pathways.  I have made my journal page using inks, sprays and stamps from my collection.
