Hello everyone .... hope you are all good. Yes I know don't all collapse with the shock!!
Seriously has it really been 3 months since I last blogged ...... *hangs head in shame* ..... note to self "must try harder"!! Life still continues to be a bit of a rollercoaster ride at the mo .... some key changes needed in 2014 but hey Rome wasn't built in a day.

One thing I am managing to keep on top of at the moment is the Documented Life Project inspired by Roben - Marie Smith, Lorraine Bell, Rae Missigman, Sandi Keene & Barbara Moore. Here is some of the challenges so far.
Journal Book - Enjoying the process.
This prompt was all about our doors opening onto a new year .... for me some new beginnings.
Loving Zesty Zing, Tango & Yellow Submarine Fresco Paints.
This prompt was all about Mail Art ... Darcy and I agreed to do a swap for this challenge. This was the envelope I created using lots of Fresco Paints and Dylusion Spray Inks.

You can see the gorgeous Mail Art I received from Darcy HERE
Next up was writing a secret message but keeping one word exposed ... my word "SOUL". I had so much fun using creating this page {very busy which is unlike my norm), love love love the colours, again Fresco Paints and Dylusion Spray Ink.
A close up of all the layers, torn 6x6 papers, stencilling & stamping. Fresco Paints used - Blush, Antartic, Bora Bora, Beach Hut, Lake Wanaka, Hey Pesto & Candy Floss. Dylusion Spray Ink (Bubblegum Pink, Crushed Grape, Black Marble & White Linen).
Last but not least the key word "Soul" ... Do what makes your soul happy! I certainly need more of that right now.
So that's all for now, however I may even be back with another blog post this week .... watch this space.See you don't see me for months then a possible 2 blog posts in one week lol!
Have a great week. See you all soon. x

Wow, your journal looks amazing already. I keep thinking I should have started this project......
Hey Gillian, don't feel bad, I was over the 4 month mark on no posts. lol. Hope you are well, it's great to see you posting again, your pages are loverly!! Really gorgeous!
Wowzers - this was worth waiting for!! You've really hit a vein of colour in 2014, and the results are gorgeous. Already loved the journal cover at the top, bold pages and fab mail art, but then the Soul pages blew everything else out of the water for me - they are stunning!
