I love it! The colors are the best. It’s a beautiful piece of art.

After posting my journal cover I added a few more marks to it, did the back cover, stitched around both and attached them to my journal. Here it is, waiting to be filled. I really need to replace that green vinyl cloth - it looks horrible in photos.

After all the grid sketches last month it's been a nice change to play with circles. This was based on the sketch for the mini paper pad class last week. My papers came from BG Herbs & Honey except the background which is an old Junkitz paper.

Album covers look good, as does the page.

Keitha I love how your album cover has turned out. The colors are just great!
The layout is really pretty! I’ve seen a lot of BG used here and there and I miss it even more. You did a very nice job with the sketch.

Here is my entry. It was far better in my head, but I'm happy enough with it. I think it's the stark white background I don't love. Probably would have been happier with blue.

Anyway, I knew this was my challenge piece from the start. Nicole's Winter Guard show her freshman year was literally called "Going Full Circle". Circles where a design theme of the whole show. I also found a 12x12 die cut of circles, which I cut apart and colored with distress ink to match the colors of their flags and uniforms.

Good job the circles! Everyone is doing a little different and they are all wonderful.

Julie, you get bonus points for using the word circle in your title!

[pamcook]

My thought exactly Keitha! Bonus points for sure.

Julie, have you ever tried splattering mist or ink on a background? The white doesn't look too stark to my eye but sometimes I feel like mine are. I often splatter some mist in areas (like around a title or embellishment cluster (or all) and I like the effect. It's not a look for everyone but for sure you want to practice a bit on scrap paper until you get the feel of it.

I'm so happy you jumped in this challenge - it's a beautiful page!

Oh WOW! All these are great; how inspiring. Now I need to think of something to do...

Still time to join in this challenge!
