Christmas Art Journal Days 8 + 9
Tags:Just catching up with the days I missed last week. A simple one and then one that is a little less restrained.
Created the photo gathering in Photoshop and then printed it all out together. 
Decorative tape at the top and bottom from Heidi Swapp. Alphabet patterned paper from Mustard Moon. Clip on top from Lil Davis. Word stickers from Making Memories.
Loved my bookbinding class today. It was just the basics but cool enough to get me inspired to sign up for the next class which gets into more hardbinding techniques. Nice to be the student for a change.

You are such a stinker...the other day, I was drinking my oh so yummy hot cocoa from Starbucks, and I looked that the paper thingy they put around the cup, and I said..."hummm...bet that would look great on my Christmas LO...." too funny!'
Great pages too~!

Ali, love that you can actually catch up. Got your email but I forgot to ask you what printer you had to print out your photos and what program you used. Needless to say, trying to print out photos for your class the night before was quite the learning curve. Trying to unpack cables and install software and figure out where those downloaded photos were on my computer. Dear me. And I still haven't finished those albums. I may have to redo because I think I misplaced my notes. :) OK. Better go now. Thanks again for your inspiration. I am getting better at letting go and going with the flow. Well at least some days I am. ;)

Ali.....okay, I used to go to that Army Surplus store ALL THE TIME! That was THE place to shop if you were remotely new wave and lived in the city! Too cool! Used to take the bus down from Capitol Hill.
Loved reading that journaling.
