Collage for Journal Week 9 plus a peek at Week 8

For week 9 of My Life Documented Journal, we had to add a collage of things we have collected. I put a coat of pastel on the page and then framed it with selvedges from all kinds of fabric.  Material I had used for pillows, cloth doll dresses and, of course sewing machine needle and threads.  I have an Irish clover, moon and stars. Also, Panera, Starbucks, Hoffman's, Pink Bunny, Dark Chocolate, the Irish, NBA and Made in America, plus the Eiffel Tower are represented. Alexander Henry is one of my favorite designers.  It was fun finding all those things I had collected. . . .


 And just to give you a peek at my Week 8.  We had to add a flap. . .mine is a cookie recipe. I bake a lot and it's mostly cookies. So, since it's My Life I'm Documenting, this is what I did for Week 8.
I used Gingerbread girl and boy stamps, and a stamp for cheese and wine. Then I doodled heart cookies, brownies and a salad.
 The recipe is for Mint Chocolate Chip cookies.
This is a fun project.
Thank you Eva and Kristin for making each week a learning/teaching experience and so very much fun. Visit all the artists for Paint Party Friday and see all the differences we bring to the art world.
Blessings,
Janet
