In a previous post, I showed lots of yummy pictures of the journals that I received
from Deb and Kim in the Altered Journal Swap.
These are the journals I made and sent...
For Kim...

Abby is a collector of vintage images which she generously shares
with her readers. On Thursday, she uses images
that she has added scripture verses to.

Thank you for your kind and generous spirit Abby.
Thank you for your kind and generous spirit Abby.
The papers I used are all from Melissa Francis.
You always have to include some fun extras...and chocolate of course
Debra's journal had more of a Victorian feel...
The images on the cover all all done digitally.
The image of the girl is from a note card that I scanned,
The frame is an old cabinet card image and the
bird is a separate image, too. I love layering different
elements on top of each other.
I also used vintage seam binding and buttons to trim out the front.
The postcard was another vintage image and I added the "D".
All of my swaps are complete for now.
I must get busy creating things for a Spring Boutique that my
closest crafting friends and I will be having at my home
on Saturday, March 24. If any of you are readers from the Pittsburgh area,
please email me and I will give you the details.
I am thinking about hosting a
Bits of Spring Canvas and Tag Swap
We would each use an 8x8-inch canvas board
similar to the board I made Sandy for Viv's Valentine Swap
only with a Spring theme.
Nine, 2-2.5 inch squares, each decorated like a small art piece.
You would also make some kind of tag...3x5-inch to
go along with the board.
It would be a one-on-one swap.
Let me know what you think and if there is enough interest generated,
I will work out the details and we'll try it. I'm
guessing the due date for this project would be around the end of April.
This board was so much fun to make.
XOXO

Those journals look wonderful! I would like to participate in the swap, if it goes on.
Hi honey! I've been away for too long.
Love your gifts of color and composition! I have neither...so I'm a huge fan!
Is that 9 square Valentine themed board for sale? I'll buy it. It would look great in my bedroom! :-)
The journal is awesome. I haven't yet brought myself to write in it... I'm just enjoying looking at it. Isn't that funny? Thanks so much. You made this first time swapper's first time swap a blessing!
Love, Kim
I love your journals Joyce...they are beautiful as usual. Your color choices are also so pretty and you always choose the perfect image. You are so right...Abby is so sweet to share all her beautiful images.
I'm ready for a swap if you decide to host one. Sure wish I could attend your "Spring Boutique"...We're celebrating Penelope's 3rd birthday on that day!
