1984 - A Journal Recap

During 1984 I kept my diary/journal in a poetry format. This book is looking much the worse for wear, mainly because the pages are going yellow. Everything is just stark black-on-white type written.It has a certain charm all it's own, but I've wanted to pick out a few pages and redo them. I'm aiming for 20-25 in total and will have to see if that will work out. Many of the thoughts need not be 'redone'....lots of young 'boy-do-I-have-a-lot-to-learn' stuff, but some need to be given a face lift for sure.

I'm working through the book (we bound it into a proper book back then) and will see how it goes. Who knows I may even abandon the project...or I could end up with a 50 page journal ;-)

Fun stuff....or is it? Makes me feel young again, but I tell you I'm glad I'm the only one reading that stuff. Some of it is so embarrassing...no really? Did I say that? Did I think that? No way.....ROFLOL

At least this way I had a beginning of colour and did not need to take too many art supplies with me. The next batch of 5 cards completes the poetry collection. There were so many great bits and pieces I wanted to preserve, but decided they may go into art journals instead. I selected from my pre-coloured cards those that have colours reflecting the mood of the poem. Once home I added more colour, some stamping and inking details.  I also added the respective poet's name onto most of the cards. For the next card I stuck a feather on the card as the poem refers to a dropped feather. Not the right bird, but the thoughts counts I think! This card really 'made itself' as the saying goes. I add mus

Circus ATC

ATC and circus…to me the 2 together are a no brainer. ATC’s are so much fun to make and the imagery of the circus so rich that I suspect I could make a dozen cards at least and not get tired of them. Ildi Geist’s goodies again provided me with ample fodder for this one (products used are no longer available) Ildi has a great new Page Set coming out tomorrow. I feel an ATC coming on!!!
