Some journal pages for
The Magical Journal Journey
Our journal swap is getting ready to start!
It even has a name right at the beginning this time
thanks to Lisa, the Wright One who is so clever with words!

This is the cover of my journal.
I chose Orange, Yellow, and Gray as my color scheme,
and frankly I loved it at first but I'm really looking forward to
using some different colors, which I will be able to do because
each of the nine artists have chosen a different combo.
The first book I'll receive is Gemma's and ooooh ~
I will get to use Purple, plus bits of other colors like magenta,
turquoise, and lime green :) I can't wait!


Inside front cover. You may have seen this before (my February Face).
I added a bit more of a February feel to it, but the hope of Spring is
peeking out in the orange glow at the top. I may add some writing 
somewhere on the page.
I added this flap between the 2 pages because I didn't like 
the way they looked right next to each other.


I will add some writing somewhere on this page.
I love this little girl in the car. She's ready to do some serious driving.


This is also for Mandarin Orange Monday.


Last page I have completed...
I have a couple more to do, and then it's in the mail to Priti Lisa!

(The stencil in the background is from Jessica Sporn's Fun Borders, 
one that she created for Stencil Girl Products, and
one that I am "test driving" on February 27!
I hope you'll check back for the blog post about that!)

    Love the little girl, and the "9 Artists" motif....actually, I LOVE everything about this!

  6. Your journal is looking gorgeous!! As always I'm blown away by your talent Maggie - I ache to have half of your skill! Your colours work really well, I love the layering of images, patterns & paint effects. The girl in the car is adorable and the road she has ahead of her makes me excited for the Magical Journal Journey we have before us. My journal is taking a lot longer than it should and I'm getting worried about finishing it satisfactorily. Life keeps getting in the way of me creating - very annoying ;-) I really hope it'll turn out okay and be something like I dreamed it could.

    Looking forward to admiring your journal in my hands :-)
    Hugs
