Hello crafty friends - happy Friday (or whatever day it is when you read this).
I am so inspired to make art journal pages by the themes at **Art*Journal*Journey* and I am so glad I discovered that site. I am still working on Erika's Favorite Things theme - still have 3 more ideas to create before the month is over.
I do like to think about spooky things - the problem is I am not to sure that I really want them to be true or to experience them. I just like the concept of them.
I smeared my printed words when I used gesso over the top, but I kind of liked it and kept the panel.
The base pictures came from a ghost hunting magazine I bought before Halloween. I bought it at the store when hubby was going to be gone for a weekend. When I bought it, I thought it would be fun to get a glass of wine and read it relaxed in the recliner. I remember placing it in the car and thinking about how fun it would be to read when I got home. When I unloaded my groceries, the magazine was not to be found. I tore my car apart, but did not find it. I even had my daughter look for it but she didn't find it. Then a month ago, the magazine appeared on my back porch....
I am choosing to believe that God hid it from me knowing that reading a ghost magazine when hubby was out of town would be a VERY BAD idea! Looking back, He was right!
Thanks for visiting! Hugz,
Nancy
Two more super pages Nancy, your ghosts are rather scary,I certainly wouldn't like to meet them!

DeleteHow spooky. Where was that magazine all that time? Great journal pages! Have a wonderful weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteMy husband swears my daughter had found it and was kidding around with me, but she swears she did not...interesting either way! You have a wonderful weekend as well, Valerie!
DeleteThat is spooky. Great journal pages!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend, hugs, Elke
Hope you have a beautiful weekend too, Elke!
DeleteI get your idea of ghosts. I'm the same way. I'm not sure I would want to see them. I did see a cat ghost once, one of my cats. I was putting laundry away and the cat strode in. I'm talking away to the cat thinking it was our other cat who was still alive, and then I wondered where he went to. I couldn't find him and he was outside at the door a bit later. Hmm. It had to have been our other cat. Clear as day. Kind of like your magazine story. That is a little scary. And maybe you think I am nuts now. (I was just happy the cat liked living with us so much she didn't want to go away after she passed from cancer.) I do love your ghost page. It is just enough scary and fun. Thanks so much for sharing! Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI don't think you are crazy at all, Erika. That is a cool story! I have had to little on the verge of possibility encounters but mine could have other explanations - not sure what they could have been but... Glad you love my page - I love all your pages!
DeleteThanks Laurie!
ReplyDeleteFun theme Nancy, I'm a bit of woos when it comes to ghosts, I have to have hubby around to watch a movie or read stuff :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful journal page XX
I’m leaving this generic message so you don’t think I’m a flake. I didn’t feel good Friday, and when I woke, the entire area around the eye that got damaged last summer had swollen so badly, I couldn’t open it. After speaking with the vision specialist, the soonest I can get in is Monday morning. I am not to wear the eye patch I was given in case it might exacerbate the swelling, but I am to take the eyedrops I was given from before. Thanks for understanding why I haven’t been to visit you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pages! I love the image that you used and those ghosts look such fun 😀. Happy and creative wishes! Hugs, Jo x
