I really enjoyed doing the
Summer Of Color challenge this week. I have been away from my studio and didn't think I would be able to do this week's color challenge. Which is purple, a color that ranks high in my favorites! Anyway today I was leaving some comments on last weeks challenge and when I went to
Lisa's blog at Sugar Creek I was so inspired by her beautiful journal work that I thought I'd get out my dusty journal that I always carry and almost never play with. So I made my first journal page in a long time. I have been singing this song , all week as it is in my car CD player and because I love it. It seemed perfect for purple. I bought some wonderful sheer polka dot tape at
JoAnns while traveling and love it. It's very wide unlike
washi tape and very sticky! The spirals are clear packaging of something I bought somewhere and the background paints are old tubes of Lil Davis Metallic Shades in Mint and Sweet Pea. Anyway lots of fun ! Thanks Kristin and Lisa!
I'll be visiting everyone whenever I have internet...look forward to seeing everyones as always! :) Nan
EDIT...I added the stars I forgot. Before I glue down 5 gazillion stars tell me better with or with out stars ? Also the song is Going To California by Led Zepplin. It's one of their rare acoustic song and is so pretty!

Fun journal page - I love that you rediscovered the pleasure of working in it - I'm about 2/3 through my first journal and having a blast. Though I don't love every result, I love the chance to play.
Personally, I prefer your page without the stars.....just one humble opinion.
Love the journal page! Beautifuly collaged.

I think it looks way better with all the stars ;-)
