He-Art Journal Challenge week 20, and a run for the border.

I forgot to post my Challenge pages for the Greeting Farms He-Art Challenge

WEEK 20 - I Have a Dream

Assignment: Create a spread or a page that is based on a dream, goals, wish, etc. Not necessary to use any TGF stamps, this is YOUR journal, do what you want cuz you rule that journal!

I am really happy with how these pages turned out

I wanted to do something "pretty" as I have been doing a lot of projects in grungy or vintage and needed to do something different.
I used glimmer mists for the background paper.
I wanted them to look dreamy, and I think I accomplished that

 I had used some of my older stamps...some never even touched an ink pad before, tsk, tsk.

 I was thinking of doing one page about my nightmares and the second about my dreams.
But I thought everyone might be getting tired of my zombies, teehee.

Onto My Day:
My SIL, Sharon, Heather and I all went across the border. I had some packages to pick up...and...some to mail away. When we go over the border we always go for lunch :)
It was pretty nice out today and was able to kick the pumpkins free of our steps, teehee.

I also found out today that Marlene from Disgused as a GrownUp ( see yesterdays post on the card I made with her image) is retiring from the blogging world. I am so sad. I love Marlene! Her humour always puts a smile on my face....guess I will just have to stalk her by email ;)

I started wrapping Christmas gifts. Boy I got my daughters a lot of gifts ;)
I still need to work on my Christmas cards.
Tomorrow is going to be an all day Christmas Card Making Marathon :)  Wish me luck.

I sent my daughters out to grocery shop while I was wrapping gifts. I think they made wise choices....I haven't checked.
Come to think of it, I haven't got my change back...I am sure they didn't buy $200.00 worth of groceries, lol.

Hope you had a creative Monday :)

Tracy :)

  4. Very nice dream page.. Glad you had a safe trip to the border and back-is it a far drive for you??? It is about 1.5 hours to the border here, but a 3 hour drive to Lethbridge and 5hours to Calgary.
    Good luck with your card making-the few I did are in the mail.
    Good for you on the gift wrapping. I have some done, but still waiting for gifts to arrive.

  5. I love the page!

    I always intend to make cards, but I let it go for too long and end up buying them, because I run out of time!

    I have to do all my wrapping still, but all of my presents are in New York, and I'm in Chicago, so I guess I'll be doing them after I land on the 23rd. Which is sad for me, because I love to wrap!
