So, I painted over most of it with the black, but I had unintentionally dried it, so the scrubbing idea was an epic fail. Or maybe glossy clear gesso or gel medium would have been a better choice.

We have a hill behind our house and open fields at that time, so they used to toboggan and sled on it. It's an exhilarating ride down, and a long haul back up. These two would keep going until they were cold and exhausted.

I've spent a few weeks organizing and purging my creative space (lots more work to do!) so I finally have a large enough workspace to do larger projects, and I could finally get to my photos. The second reason is, I spent a weekend with my son's girlfriend helping get her set up to scrapbook a pet album. She inspired me to pick it up again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxp1fRBrSU7Z_oTMdXk34WX3b1zeDfRgQMQe_WQmxoPcbFnm3ewjD_ILjHIhFngX4fW04bgzvSd2XNlnBtb2upTUkcYHbdNA1dtKz6jPP6J47wvYGZvjh-cn5vj9iygZBki6oWsAk74UcP3523oajHNUqy4ixe8PeOXRkoskT8ku96SgwwQHl-ildZxEoH/s3534/IMG_5418.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I love the mix of text, numbers, and doodled circles. I started by stamping directly into the journal, but it didn't go so well. I looked through my stash of handmade papers and found this one. I use the paper bags that come with the Simon Says Stamp card kits when I paint or spray. I also wipe off extra paint, add designs and make something totally new. I stamped the art journal stamp over my paper, and ripped around the edges.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Meanwhile, I added texture to the sides of the page with texture paste and the Tim Holtz Ringer stencil. </p><blockquote style="border: medium; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting" style="margin: 0px 0px 25px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;"><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2901661250842591581" itemprop="description articleBody" style="line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; line-height: 19px;" trbidi="on"><h2 data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="margin: 0px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijeXnoXV3hDqpCU-4KICPqcV6pkKQvmaYFwP-8bSVYCcFNMc_eaWOhyphenhyphenLc2y-8U5b1_LBlnZNO51imLJNyUr_tSNGETL5-4N18zG6dFHXMdAAts9giZXCM_bw9CXzBIdI5mikgpufG7R_TtRsabhYW2B18za7me6jyDOJrDasPYDa5T1IauHFDqLdSzyY57/s4032/IMG_5239.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2717" data-original-width="4032" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijeXnoXV3hDqpCU-4KICPqcV6pkKQvmaYFwP-8bSVYCcFNMc_eaWOhyphenhyphenLc2y-8U5b1_LBlnZNO51imLJNyUr_tSNGETL5-4N18zG6dFHXMdAAts9giZXCM_bw9CXzBIdI5mikgpufG7R_TtRsabhYW2B18za7me6jyDOJrDasPYDa5T1IauHFDqLdSzyY57/w400-h270/IMG_5239.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div></b></h2></div></div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="text-align: center;">I decided to cut out the circles in the stamped design and lay it over the previously stamped image in the journal. </div><p></p><blockquote style="border: medium; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting" style="margin: 0px 0px 25px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;"><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2901661250842591581" itemprop="description articleBody" style="line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; line-height: 19px;" trbidi="on"><h2 data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="margin: 0px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZJzBJQOJEHs-G-RDIwWZqnqzd56dlv5_NHAAVfOn0i3ITj4yo5Iymcj75edt3gIJ2bwYgs96JqFNNwbDMtEbEgD42-bBy9nObNWunCXIDBjYiKtPVn0FCPEMWU4Up2kAf4FPJLsafHA5YrIA-XM-3xms-bhzTBaZUFvS8IVKxdiIGU1_MijjjZ71M4C2t/s4032/IMG_5240.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZJzBJQOJEHs-G-RDIwWZqnqzd56dlv5_NHAAVfOn0i3ITj4yo5Iymcj75edt3gIJ2bwYgs96JqFNNwbDMtEbEgD42-bBy9nObNWunCXIDBjYiKtPVn0FCPEMWU4Up2kAf4FPJLsafHA5YrIA-XM-3xms-bhzTBaZUFvS8IVKxdiIGU1_MijjjZ71M4C2t/w300-h400/IMG_5240.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div></b></h2></div></div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="text-align: center;">I used collage medium to adhere the paper to the journal.
