Marcia and Jessica are hosting a new challenge over at Artists in Blogland – you can see it here. I enjoy participating in these challenges because the gals do a great job coming up with new ideas for self expression – like Carolyn and Jessica did with Fall Fearless and Fly, which just ended. Here is my journal entry for the new challenge. My friend Lyle sent me a great color copy of her birthday card and these are the ladies I used on the page…..The page was made with recycled cereal boxes woven like a quilt and the type was from a Basic Grey letter sheet I bought ages ago…It all seemed to work so well with that great image. Thanks to my friends Marcia and Jessica for coming up with this new challenge….Why not hop in…
Good friends are like quilts…they age with you yet never lose their warmth
I love this! It really conveys the quote! Great job!
I love the woven quilt, and the quote has such a great meaning.
Just fabulous!!
this is amazing!! Love how you wove the cereal boxes and the use of that card. Is that the 5 of us in another lifetime? If so, I call being the second from the right!
I love the way the woven cardboard grabs the paint, highlighting the edges . Such a radiantly warm piece.
You did it again! That photo with the colors and the paint – fabulous!
Fab is right. I’m in love with this picture. Everything just blends so well. Whoever has the bigger legs, I guess that’s me. Chuckle.
I love that! I wouldn’t mind having a bathing suit like that either
Love, love, love it! Everything works so well together. the woven background, the photo, the quote…all just perfect! I love stopping by to see what you’ve been up to.

Love the weaving technique, Corrine! I also love that you have worked with an image that means something to you–just makes the journal all the more “yours”! Great page, and I love using up that darned old sticker letters!

This is beautiful – I LOVE your mosaic/quilted effect with the squares of paper – stunning colours and a wonderful image that perfectly conjures up friendship
