YOU TUBE VIDEOS USING FABRIC SCRAPS & A SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK'S TRAVELING ADVENTURE

Hello everyone.   I hope your day was great.   Mine was fantastic.   I think I mentioned that I have a guest for the week.   Well, today we went 'a wandering' on a little adventure to one of the best places to visit around here.   I'm saving the traveling adventure for next Tuesday, but here's a hint, up close and personal...


I don't know about you, but I have lots and lots of fabric scraps and I really would rather use them somehow instead of just throwing them out.   So, I turned to You Tube and I was not disappointed.   Below is a short list of You Tube videos about different techniques for using fabric scraps to make collages.   Check them out, you may find an interesting idea or two...

ZENTANGLE CHALLENGE:  DAY FOURTEEN


So, how's your journal page coming along.   I decided to begin my page by tearing out several sayings and pictures from magazines and pasting them onto the canvas.   I also added the word HOPE in large letters using several different markers to emphasize the word.   I think it's a promising beginning.  Fingers crossed...


That's it for this evening...
Thanks for visiting...
See you tomorrow...
