Jeudi Journal - A Heart or Two

Not a clue who chose this topic but I know I asked for it to be moved to coincide with Valentine's Day so that is why it appears now two days after the event.

To begin with I used a stencil of Donna Downey's that I had seen and fallen in love with.  Now was my Gesso too runny or what, not a clue, but I know I made a bit of a mess of it.  Will have to rethink this one later but as it was another scheduled post before I went away (yes I know I have been back ages, a week really) and I really did not have time for this as my sister has been visiting from Oz.

Cut out a heart freehand in black, used a couple of Crazy Dogs and some punched hearts and the idea was born and executed.

Hope you like my rendition for St Valentine!


Hope you got some Valentine cards.  Any anonymous ones pop through your door?  Or was there just one from your sweetheart?  I left just before Valentine Day but I remember being there one year for it and I got quite a few cards from female friends over there. What a lovely way to celebrate, you don't need to miss out.

Snap, we both went for songs this time. I find hearts quite difficult to work with, so it was bound to be your idea. Love the stencil in the background, and I knew you would get the crazy dogs, they are so useful. Great page, one to go. Wendy xx

Oh Neet I love this page - it really appeals to me. Especially the punny element you have so cleverly incorporated

I love your Valentine rendition, Neet! And now I have that song worming around in my head over and over, lol! It's a fun design!! I didn't get any Valentines sent to my friends this year between the surgery and the NBUS challenges and I missed making them! Sounds like you had an amazing time in California! I hope your sister is fine with all the rain that the south got yesterday and today. Hugs, Darnell
