Smile Round Robin

I have been working on a round robin or circle journal.  Here are my first pages.  My theme is 'smile'.  The opening page features a photo of me as an Art from the Heart fairy and a bit of writing about me.  It's always difficult to know what to write; but luckily I quickly ran out of space.  The hobbies bit reminded me of job applications!  The background, inspired by a background on Kate Crane's DVD, is painted with Dylusions paints and Ranger Dabbers.  


I love red, hot pink, orange and yellow so had to make myself use different colours on the other pages.

The second page is made from old K&Co Hopscotch scrapbook papers and the die is a Tim Holtz one.  My idea is that each person will write their name, date, etc. on the dress form and put a head photo on their dress form.  I have two pages like this and will add a title later when I can see how much room is left at the top.


This pieced border is Bious B Zoo Hot scrapbook paper and is inspired by the journal classes I took with Dyan at Art from the Heart.  The stamp is Linda from Stampotique and the words were typed on a pc.  I also used a flower stencil and glaze black pen.


My final page uses the scraps of Hot paper and more Stampotique stamps.  The page is more straight in real life, but this was my first attempt at taking photos with my iPad and overall it worked very well.


All supplies are from Art from the Heart except the alphabet stickers from Crab Apple Crafts and the DVD from Craft Stamper Magazine.  The K & Co pad is so old that I forget were it came from.

I enjoyed making these pages and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone else's art work. 

Have a lovely week, Anne x

Brilliant pages Anne, love the colours and the design and clever use of the dressforms as a signature page.
Have only just started journaling myself and looked at the Art From the Heart classes - bit too far to go in winter but maybe when the weather is warmer and days are longer I will get there.

Wow! Anne, those pages are fantastic! I'm really looking forward to you adding to my journal. Not sure that I can add anything half as good as yours but will have a good try!

Lovely pages, Anne - love that top one and papers always seem to look so much better to me when used as patchwork. Great stuff x
