Sarah & Shirley pair journal - round 3


I love my book already :) :)  and we are barely getting started!

So, here we go again, this is my second time working in my own journal

First of all, I tweaked my original first page as it looked a bit plain, by adding some little label stickers that I had "splatted" on with distress stains:


Next another minor tweak, this time adding a bit of black outlining and an orange harlequin pattern to Shirley's "eye for colour" page:


Then I added straw blown seaweed and a school of fish to one of Shirley's gorgeous backgrounds:


Next, this photo of two geishas paddling is from the 1920s and has been sat in my collage pile for a while waiting for the perfect time to use it, I love it:


And last up, the beginnings of a page for Shirley to run with:


I'll pop it in the post tomorrow or Tuesday, Shirley
