Lolo's page on Lisa'a Journal


yay, I finally got the muse to hit me between the eyes!

This is my first page for Lisa's journal. The other side of this paper is a different pattern which I'll show when I get it done, then I'll show you how our pages look together ;) I went with her bird theme because I love birds. I started with decoupaging the poppies from napkins, then I glittered them with a light dusting. I stamped faint leaves and purple swirls, drew and painted the Cardinals, added a stamp from a letter I got from Canada and a pretty little sticker, and then I topped it off with finding that perfect quote from a magazine.

Now I'm ready to continue! Stay tuned for page two, and then eventually I'll get going on mine.

  4. This page is thrilling! I can't wait to see it in person. Like you say you can't see all the wonderful detail until you lay your eyes on it. I love poppies too. My nememis flower. It doesn't like to grow here and I crave them so.
