Circles and an Ocean of Dreams


Going round in circles  again........ 
 for Rosie's theme.... 'Circles'  at 



On the left there are a couple of photos  of how the page evolved. The base in this book is watercolour paper, so after a coat of Gesso,  I scribbled on some Distress  Crayons and then blended them with a damp baby wipe. I had found a pot of micro beads when searching for something else, so on they went as well.
Not just to the glued parts, but my desk,  the floor and even into my shoes.




I had a few flower shapes to use up and added  the alphabet stickers as well. 
The words were computer generated.






.........................................................................

I  saw on a  friends blog  that the current challenge theme at
is Under Water

I had a little digital play with my original page and came up with a Hybrid Page




It is her happy place and I think she looks relaxed and comfortable in her world.

Thank you for calling in to see me today, you are most welcome
 and your comments are always appreciated.

Digital information and credits
 can be found in my side bar.

  4. Both variations are wonderful, a lovely idea for a journal page. It's 38° outside just now and 34 inside, I am melting!

  5. How incredible how this page evolved into three challenges. I know you didn't plan TioT but those ARE letters. And I love how this MM&M page came about using your digital skills.

    I had a pen with micro beads in it that came apart several years ago. I think I'm STILL cleaning those beads up! Have a super day, dear.

  12. Love the way you used the microbeads, I keep thinking of getting some but I'm bad enough with embossing powder and seem to get it everywhere so just imagine what I'd be like with something that rolls ...Lol ... and then you mentioned finding them in your shoes too ...Lol 😀. Both pages are fantastic, the colours and background could easily be corals and underwater bubbles so your hybrid page looks dreamy and fits perfectly with the sentiment you used. Happy Friday and wishing you a lovely weekend! J 😊
