My background pages are a bit of a mix, I did a vintage one - which is not like me but I enjoyed it, I also did a Union Jack - I seemed to have a thing about them at the time ! I hope Jez has managed to do something with the pages :)

Jez and Karen Pair Journal (2)
This is the journal I sent to Jez. It was just a cheapo book from Asda (a complete rip off of a Moleskine) it has an 'eco leather' cover in grey so I decided to doodle on it, I left 2 spaces for Jez to complete if she wishes.
My background pages are a bit of a mix, I did a vintage one - which is not like me but I enjoyed it, I also did a Union Jack - I seemed to have a thing about them at the time ! I hope Jez has managed to do something with the pages :)

Jez and Karen - Pair Journal
Firstly, I must apologise to poor Jez for having me as a swap partner! This stupid thing called life keeps getting in the way of me doing 'fun stuff' but hey ho! better late (ok, very late) than never !!
Firstly, the pages that Jez did in her journal, I have added only small bits to as they were lovely as they were (but that isn't the point of this is it, lol )
The 1st page reminded me of water, so I added some seaweed and some Stampotiques in the form of a mermaid and 2 Octopets.
Next up, I added a mask of a bird and inked that and added a small bit of cameo tape and also a cameo necklace to the girl.
I only did 2 backgrounds in Jez's book as she made the book herself and it doesn't have as many pages as a bought journal so didn't want to use up all her space ! The 1st one is ok-ish but I have absolutely NO idea what I was thinking with the 2nd one ... feel free to gesso over it completely Jez and do something else lol!!
I will do a post with my journal in a sec ....

Next I added some paisley flourishes in red and a bit of number tape down one edge.

JEZ AND KAREN - READY TO START PAIRS JOURNAL
I've made a start with 3 or 4 basic pages in my pair journal, just starting points - my mind went blank when I was faced with the empty pages, so I hope they take us somewhere. I've made up a digital collage of the pages so far:
The front cover is temporary until I can think of some way of 'tootying it up'. I found that my photographer daughter, Zoë, has a nice little binder, so I was able to make my own journal using some fairly reasonable watercolour paper. I love the Chinese couple, but don't know where it can go to next.
On the inside of the back cover (bottom right image) I added a pocket for small items for 'swaps' if Karen feels this would be a good idea. I hope to post it to her on Monday, and look forward to receiving hers.
