In my DLP 2015 journal, one page in particular has been bugging me, because it was left unfinished for so long. In May, the monthly theme was Texture. I completed the first week for May, with the challenge for Week 18 of Fabric. The challenge for Week 19 was Stitching. I had tied the two together by wrapping fabric around the edge of the page and stitching it. To add texture to the page for Week 19, I glued down braille paper. I also painted it with blues and greens. Then it sat there for months. I had lots of ideas for the journal prompt: "All I'm after is a life full of laughter." But the ideas would come and go. Things I tried on the page didn't seem to be right. I would abandon it time and again.
I have been on such a roll catching up, I decided to go back to that page and finish it once and for all. I used a vintage picture of ladies on some kind of ride. I have posted it here before in the past, I believe. I'm not sure where it came from. But it makes me laugh. And seeing the sad women in the third row compared to the laughing women in the first row reminds me to not take life too seriously (not sure I could if I tried anyway!)
I have mentioned before that I have the new Dylusions paints. Having those sitting on my work table inspire me just being bright and colorful! I had painted some tags and scraps with lime green, and added stenciling with a darker color. Added some stamping and writing to everything and called it done.
