New Altered Book Pages

Two very different styles on these two pages.  The one on the right was made several years ago and not really "made".  More like just sticking a quote on a page but I liked the less-is-more look of it so left it alone.  The one on the left was last week when I was so tired and needing the play time.  I was going for a sepia tone so I used pattern tissue, stamps, paint and a scrap from Somerset Studio.  I have been buying that magazine for years and have a big stack of the free "art to borrow" that is bound inside. 
I don't look through it very often.  Maybe I'll go do that and indulge in a little more of that play time!

That's why journaling is so fun--it's whatever's on your mind--and it's really a great way of teaching yourself new techniques that you would be afraid to try on canvas.
I have lots of Somerset magazines too with all of that art to borrow--I should be using it.
