Oh what a wonderful leisurely day! (It is my spring break) So today I spent time tangling - of course - and then worked on 2 of the 3 journal pages I am behind in. Challenge 161 was to use the tangle quandary. I played around with it some in my sketch book when I first discovered it a while back, but it didn't catch with me. Still doesn't really. I found viewing Ellen Wolter's video on how to draw quandary very helpful. All of her videos are.
With school work and such, I had gotten very behind in my pages for Journal 52 - an on-line journal group. I love this group as it frequently makes me reach outside my comfort zone. I was three pages behind - now only 2. Week 11's prompt was to do something with stars. I had several ideas but when I saw some scrapbook paper with stars on it, my mind settled pretty quick. I did add a few more stars to the paper with gold and silver paint pens. Very simple but I really like it.

Week 11 |
I am a very linear thinker - make that an extreme linear thinker. Week 12's prompt was to do a page about a day in your life. Then week 13 came out and that was to do the prompt "How does your garden grow?". My mind was saying as I pulled out the supplies to do the pages,
first we do 11, then we do 12 and then 13. But I had an idea for 13. I don't for 12. You have no idea how hard it was for me to leap ahead and not do them in order. Okay, I know that sounds ridiculous and I get some teasing about my organized thinking, but it was hard. Maybe tomorrow I will work on week 12 so I can feel complete, lol.

week 13 |
Every Inchie Monday's word was
game. I had some scrabble letters that were used on a scrapbook page. Luckily they fit just perfectly!
Thanks for dropping by. Please leave me some sunshine! I am actually getting to go around and do some commenting this week. Yahoo! Have a great, sunshiny week!
Cathy, I love your Tile and your other work. Nice job on the Inchie. I don't know if I'll have time to do one this week. Anyway, thank you for the reference to Ellen Wolter's you tube videos. I had know idea she made those. They look awesome! I'll have to use them as a referral from now on. I didn't realize when I did my step out for 'Quandary' that anyone else had use the flower method. But they are a little different. But thanks again for the referral to her videos. Looks like they will be very helpful!! :0) Share Humanity

ReplyDeleteI really love your journal pages. I really want to join in on that. I am the same way and always want to go in order, but sometimes you just have to step outside of the plan... I guess thats part of creativity, right? Your inchie is GREAT. SO cute. I love the scrabble letters.
