Jeudi Journal

I think this was my choice but what I had in mind when I chose the quote I have not got a clue. 

"I don't like you, you are very ugly and have no manners at all"

made me think of someone doing a rather rude 'Burp' but that is as far as I got.  Wanting to fill up my book and use pages with bits of paint already on I chose the blue page and using an AALL & Create stencil and some blue paint I covered up some of the bits of paint already on, as well as the blank bits  Did think of going with another colour but left it to the blue in the end.

As it was to be someone 'ugly' I decided to use one of the monsters and one of the boys from the same stamp sheet.  I tried out putting a different head on the boy figure and was surprised how it worked - guess he could be burping too.  But he isn't and the monster's burp is actually making him cry.  (hope this does not offend anyone)


In order to bring more interest into the page I used some of the houses and kept them in fairly neutral colours and then decided to put a mushroom in with a caterpillar crawling along the top.  Was not sure about the head of the insect so added another one which was much larger - preferred it so it stayed.

A friend had bought me some Tim Holtz wooden letters and these came in so handy for the word - they went on various parts of the page until they settled where they now are.

Guess that is it folks - hope you like it.
