PAPER CRAFTING--WEEK 5

 

I made a few dangles for my "#Hillside Heart Prompts"
Journal Craft-a-long...

Here is Caroline's YT page...
Every week she picks two "heart" prompts from
suggestions we followers have sent in 
to her and some of her own, too..;)))

This week's were:
Ballarina
and 
Mother Earth..

We are to use them together
which makes for very free
pages...;))))

Below is my interpretation
of the two prompts 
using mostly magazine images that
I've searched out
from my magazine stash...

[Ballarina was really tough to find...]

I laid down various scenes of earth 
and then 
added the images that I felt
symbolized both prompts...

The "Quiet" card flips over to give
this week's prompts...

When my hands need a rest from stitching 
paper crafting is what I turn to..
💚
**********************
We are still pretty much snowed under here, 
but today with a 33 degree temp there is
melting going on...thankfully!!!

  1. I started reading the Longmire series by
    Craig Johnson: "The Cold Dish" [book 1]
    I've watched the tv series and really enjoyed it...the characters are wonderful--I always like to refer back to the original book's story to see how they compare...;)))

  2. The cover of your journal is so lovely -- I see you use a safety pin to attach the dangles which are also very pretty. I haven't added any to mine so far but I do love a good bead string and I have a bunch of sari ribbon . . .

  3. I love that you are adding "dangles" to your pages. You did well with this week's prompts, Julierose. Do I spy Elsa? Representing the cold, huh. Hope your snow melts away soon. I hate to mention it but we have actually hit the 60s today.

  4. I love the dangles you've added to your journal. It adds so much interest! We're forecast to get 3-5" more snow tonight! We're in the 30s also but it doesn't help if more snow is coming!!!!

  7. That is such an interesting project, Julierose! The book cover is beautiful. And your leader's box full of hearts is so intriguing - makes me curious what she will pull out next!

  8. Dangles are a wonderful use for some beautiful beads that don't really fit anywhere else. Your interpretation looks great!
