Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I took a journaling class at my local Art store (The Queens Ink) yesterday. Jane Davies was a guest artist visiting the store from New England. The class and atmosphere was wonderful, I really enjoyed being with other artists for a change as opposed to working alone in the studio. Saw a few old friends and met some new ones. Of course I could not leave the shop without a few goodies...Tim Holtz's decorative tapes, glue sticks, and some awesome papers.
My journal cover was made with paste paper purchased a few years ago from a wonderful artist, Albie Smith. I combined her paper with another piece of decorative paper and Japanese tape. This is a page from the journal I made, it is in the initial stage and is not bound in book yet. I plan to add more collage items and to color the pages, either with Pan Pastels or watercolors, although I kind of like it as it is, we'll see.

Hi Pat,
Oooohh it sounds like you had a blast in the journal class!
Niiiiice! I can't wait until the Rubberstamp Convention next month to see (get!) all the new TH stuff and see Tim *smiles*
How lucky you are! There are never any fun classes like that near where I live. I depend on the internet for all the classes I take.
Your journal cover is gorgeous!!
What great goodies you picked up. It is so nice to spend time with other artists isn't it? I am so used to time alone with my art I forget what it's like to work with other artists too.
Thanks for sharing.
