Playing in my journal 2015 January

Various playing pages:

The background started out as a way to use

up paint & stencil that I was using for another

project an turned into this.  Had a lot of fun

playing on this page.

Left over paint from a few projects created

this background and I just came across

this quote one day and wanted to use it.

So many layers on this page, the most I have ever

the one with the most butterflies.  Really love the 

way this page came out of my head onto the page :)
