Splash - Hidden Journalling


Here's an example of hidden journalling. The photos of me aren't very good (tempting to say not good or important enough to scrap), but when I started thinking about journalling about myself, my likes and dislikes, I realised these pictures express something important - I love water - the sea in particular (which for someone living in the middle of England, too far from the sea for a day out, is a bit sad...).

My UKS teamie Nicki challenged us on the Chatterbox Chicks blog to "scrap a beach photo or photos with non traditional papers".

As I've been working on a series of posts about hidden journalling, I thought I would include it on the layout as an embellishment, so I created a little folded card tied with ribbon and finished with pretty flowers.

The journalling reads: I love the sea! I adore swimming or even paddling. This was in Bournemouth before we had children – me in a daring leopard-print suit, splashing in the shallows! (and my signature)

Supplies: Prism black cardstock from Scrapajack (for an unusual beach LO!), my favourite K'ology Addison paper & stickers, Cratepaper Wildflower chipboard alphabet, MM brads, Prima Bubbles flowers, a Craft Robo-cut seahorse and confetti and gems from a now closed shop. Definitely NOT a cardstock only LO.

Hope it's appropriate Nicki!

Challenge - Win, win, win!

Lewis Hamilton - the new prodigy in Formula 1 motor racing, won his first Grand Prix on Sunday in just his 6th race in Formula One.

He had never driven at the Montreal track before the weekend, and he gained pole position and led from the front despite four incidences of the safety car and a dreadful accident from which, thank God, Kubica escaped with only a broken leg.

Hamilton said: “It has been a fantastic day for me and my family - this is history. To come here for my first visit to Canada and to win - it has been just a fantastic feeling ..."

So this week's challenge - what is your greatest achievement? When did you last feel like jumping up and down in the air with delight and joy? (Alternatively - would would you LIKE to achieve - get it down on paper and you have more chance of seeing it happen..)

Please post a comment and link if you make a LO that celebrates your achievement(s).
