hello baby girl!

Considering how CAS this card is, it used a lot of different stamp images!!   I'm not a big card maker, mainly because I have to keep my hands clean - that's one of the reason's one of Roc's birds is sitting on the bunting!!

Today's journal page was brought to you by an intense need to colour in these amazing monsters, a hidden text stamp and a paperbag!!

 Let me know if you spot the unusual use of France's 'french journal page' stamp.  I've included step by step photos to this page on my blog.

my Stampotique February calendar pages by Sarah A

I am so pleased with myself...I've got beyond January with this year's calendar pages!  This is a first :)

To be honest, it's probably because I'm committed to posting here each Friday ... calendar pages are a nice project to share.  I also enjoyed the challenge of just using Stampotique images.

I decided to colour Peggy's face and hands, rather than paper-piece them.  Whilst colouring I discovered that she had a heart on her jumper ... I'd never noticed that before!

I was a bit worried that the white hearts stood out too much, but once they have writing on they 'tone down' a touch ...

... and I think I like it :)

a little journal page by Sarah

Doesn't she just look like she's contemplating something as she handles her spider like a yoyo?!

I just love spider girl.  After creating a background with acrylic paint, dylusions spray ink and a stencil I stamped spider girl directly onto the paper.  I then stamped her again onto tracing paper (as her face looked too pale on cartridge paper) before cutting her out around her body and face and gluing her onto the previously stamped image.  Stamping it first means you don't lose the detail such as her hair and the spider.

Another scrap of tissue paper, stamped with Journey Collage, under her feet, and the words 'just thinking' added using Jill Penney and Daniel Torrente's Alphabitties completes my mini journal page...but I'm adding Hopscotch to my wishlist as I think that would have worked well as part of the background :)
