This is from my K&Company Smashbook. I got the Retro Blue one – because it’s blue and because I liked the pages inside; they’re all themed. I don’t generally care for themed scrapbooking or journaling, but most of the ‘prompts’ are great. I also got a themed ‘smash pad’ which is also great for prompts. You pull what you want to use on a given day from the pad, glue or tape the whole thing (or part) down, and write on it. Then decorate the page the best way you see fit.
My art journal for Kara's Life Story Class.
Blogged here: http://dearlydee.blogspot.com/2009/02/life-story-journal.html
After looking at some art journals online I noticed that people were using gesso as a foundation for their pages. I applied it to the right side of this spread and kind of liked the way it turned out. It blocked out the lines from the paper but it also made the pages kind of crunchy. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
On the left side I used some magazines strips, washi tape, and a water drop I carved.
On the right side I just stamped some thought bubble stamps that I carved over and over again. I filled some of the bubbles in but then I covered one up with blue washi tape in the top right corner because I didn't like the way that one turned out.
Lifeboat Journal (Extract) 5th July 1955.
STORNOWAY
The Isle of Lewis had its first Official Royal Visit for half a century on the 5th July 1955 when H.R.H. the Duchess of Kent, President of the Institution, visited Stornoway to name the new boat James and Margaret Boyd.
Before naming the boat Her Royal Highness said it had been a very special delight for her to learn that a new life-boat was going to Stornoway.
"The life-boat station here” she said “has, I know, an excellent record and since its foundation has been responsible for the rescue of nearly 150 lives. The new boat, which I am about to name will, I am sure, be worthy of its predecessors in every way. It is not without interest, I think, that the first life-boat stationed here cost £372; the cost of a lifeboat today amounts to nearly £36,500—almost a hundred times as much.
This money is found through the generosity of those who, throughout the country, support the life-boat service; and in giving money to the lifeboats Scotland plays an outstanding part.”
Sheriff R. B. Miller, president of the branch took the chair. Miss Margaret Boyd , niece of the donors, presented the life-boat on behalf of the donors to the Institution. Lord Saltoun, chairman of the Scottish Life-Boat Council, accepted her on the Institution’s behalf and handed her over to the branch. Captain Alexander Finlayson, Honorary Secretary of Stornoway Branch, accepted her.
The life-boat which is a 52-feet Barnett boat, was then described by Commander S. W. F. Bennetts, Deputy Chief Inspector of Life-boats. The Rev. Roderick Macdonald, Minister of St. Columba’s Church, Stornoway, assisted by the Rev. H. Downie, Minister of St. Peter’s Church, Stornoway, dedicated the life-boat.
A vote of thanks to her Royal Highness was proposed by Lieut .Colonel Sir John Dick-Lauder, Bt., Vice-Lieutenant of the County of Ross and Cromarty, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and others was proposed by the Provost of Stornoway, Mr. A. J. Mackenzie.
The Stornoway Combined Pipe Bands conducted by Mr. Donald Macleod piped Her Royal Highness from the Town House to the harbour. The singing was led by the Stornoway Churches Combined Choirs conducted by Mr. Duncan. Morison.
The life-boat was provided out of legacies left by Miss C. A. I. Boyd, of Dunoon, Dr. J. C. Tennant, of East Newpoort, Fifeshire, and Mrs. C. M. Grant of Edinburgh.

Other Notes:
"The lifeboat James and Margaret Boyd was named by Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, President of the Institution, on her first visit to the Hebrides. A helicopter which landed at Stornoway to collect her baggage was the first ever seen in the Isle of Lewis."
My journal reclamation project continues. This is from 1985. I was eighteen years old and like most American teenagers I was preoccupied with religious philosophy. I was writing upside down on the even numbered pages of this volume because it was easier on my wrist. This book spent a couple weeks under water in 2005.
This is the second page in the doted half of my nbew journal, and the third picture. For this one I used pearlized watercolor washes in five colors, dried it with a hair dryer and then tangled with an 005 pen. There was absolutely no bleedthrough. It did buckle the paper a little, but when I was finished I just ironed it, and now it's flat again. Tangles used: Florz, Bales, Yincut, Tipple and Crescent Moon.

Approximately 192 pages (96 sheets) of heavy cream/beige blank paper.

Almost there...forgot to take pics along the way, having gotten lost in the process. The black stamping is a quote from Mary Oliver's poetry, as is the white lettering on the pic. I blended some yellow neoart crayon along the pics and through the middle, so they look a bit less like they were just plopped down on the page! I journaled using an Elmers' white paint pen marker, which writes over almost everything! The pics in the middle were added at a diagonal to carry the eye from upper left corner to lower right! Just a few more touches!

Added more fabric to my Remains of the Day journal cover -- here is the cover from the back. Working on the tie next.
This is my mom, Ginny. She is 84 years old. In 1998 she was diagnosed with vascular dementia and possible Alzheimer’s disease. She moved from Florida to San Diego so that I could take care of her. Since then, her dementia has progressed slowly but steadily. She has reached the point where she’s starting to forget who I am. She knows she has a daughter named Susan, and she knows that I’m someone she likes, but sometimes those two concepts get disconnected.
This photo was taken by my sister Joan, in March 2005.
Smith Journal volume two is about sifting through the info we're bombarded with and drilling down to get at the core of an idea, an opinion or a thing. Dave Eggers tells us about 10 things he loves and writer Christos Tsiolkas explains why Australians are damn lucky. We speak to dads and sons about working together, fall in love with a two-wheeled piece of junk, get stuck into Henry Rollins's bookshelf, investigate the vanishing art of pickpocketing, scratch our heads over sacred geometry, marvel at the weaponry of Cold War spies and appreciate the complexity of life's simple stuff: the miracle pig, the humble potato, the misunderstood handkerchief and the stately pinball. We interview inventors, explorers and economists, travel to Japan, go deep into the Bolivian mines and spend time at a quiet shack in New Zealand. That's just some of the gold to be found within the pages, we reckon it's a darn worthy read
Today's InTheSun prompt: SUMMER MOVIES
I tried that stretched out writing in the background listing summer movies then layered over it with tissue paper, stamping, stenciled "movies", some scrapbook paper and dripping acrylic paint. The dark gray squares are door screen.

Yes, that's actually factually me. In my pajamas and zebra print robe. And my friend in the background laughing at me and my poor golf skills. And yes, the carpet is cheetah print. Yes, we did this in a hotel. Yes, it was fabulous.

deep-sea blue mulberry paper and lavenders is very relaxing combination :-)
You should smell the boards ;-)
Journal: Huntington Beach State Park was such a cool experience as the diversity of wildlife was captivating. In the little time we spent there we encountered alligators, lizards, crabs, snails and many different species of birds. This just scratched the surface for what the park has to offer. The South Carolina coast line is a beautiful place with so much to see. Hopefully next time I'll be lucky enough to see a painted bunting and spoon bill.
