Jeudi Journal - Squares

I wanted to do a Seth Apter page using a technique of his I did recently and using some of his diecuts. Got it all worked out and then thought that I should really keep this a bit more "Dylusional". Thought then about cutting some squares out with my straight square Spellbinders dies and made some narrow frames.  Then I got some of my skeleton heads and decorated a couple of them like Sugar Skulls and the other one with a bit of colour on his head and put them inside the frames.  I guess they would be a bit wonky so they got moved about a bit.


The background was already done (pink?? what possessed me?) and it had brickwork on it so that is not strictly squares but hey ho, it's my blog.  Then I found some 'freebie' dies I had - a camera and one depicting the word 'smile' so they got incorporated in it too.


As the facing page was one of the pages I had cut into smaller ones I decided to put the full skeleton on the other side.  Now whether he will say something at a later stage about his family rogues gallery or not remains to be seen.  For the moment he stays as he is.

The strips down the sides of the next few curved pages will have to depend on what I do on the pages themselves so they are left - just a hurried coat of Bubblegum Pink to finish off for today.

So that's it folks - my Square pages for Jeudi Journal with Wendy.

Love the rogues gallery and the pink makes a change. I think the guy on the right looks a bit scared of the rogues. They are all stamps I don't have, so great to see them. Will phone you later.

I do like the bright pink, but it is hard to know what to put on top - I think you did just fine! I haven't found Carabelle stamps at many places in the UK, but That's Crafty are quite good prices (where I got these) and good service too.
