Learn

The second half … Learn … thru Play of course!
This was a fun one to do, and I don’t think I’ve ever journalled by hand, on a layout that much!

Some more close-ups!

I leave tomorrow for my holiday … I’ll be gone until the 30th … I don’t know if I’ll be doing any more scrapping to show you today … have a 1000 + 1 errands to run …

Unfortunately I don’t have Internet access on the island, so I’ll update once I get back! 😀 😀

Have a great productive creative month everyone!!

Teach

Well, I’ve fallen a bit behind in Shimelle’s class … but I’m still keeping up with it!
Have two more layouts for you …
We were to look at our Serious vs Frivolous sides …
We were free to choose our own titles this time around and I liked the idea of doing
Teach vs Learn!

Yes, in the journalling I’m actually talking to myself! 😀
As always if you press on the picture you’ll see a bigger version of it!

Capturing Time: up to date! PART II

So here are the rest of them … We scrapped continuously with a small break for lunch from 11 am to 7 pm … 😀 😀 They just came out one after the other! 😀

Week 18: Time for Friends

This is a photo of my trip to the UK in 2003 where I met a few friends in Scotland!


Week 19: Time to Let Go!

Well, these two have enriched my life in many countless ways … they also help me to let go, to be a child again. Here they are playing a game that I made up … by standing behind each other, and moving our arms, we would watch our shadow and pretend to be Ursula in Ariel! 😀 😀


Week 20: Time to bloom

Another artistic one, inks, paints and walnut ink! 😀


Week 21: Time to Seek


Week 22: Time to Hope


… and finally …
Week 23: Time to heal

Izzy, hugging the stones at Avebury … supposedly have healing powers and women come to hug them to be more ‘fertile’ … well they say laughter is good for you! So it definitely cured us!! 😀 😀

These have been so fun to do, and I’m looking forward when I get back from my Holidays in September to continue with them!! 😀 😀
