This is a sketchbook I had purchased quite a while ago, which is hardbound. And so I thought I would cover it also, using those beautiful gelli printed papers. The detail photo below is from the front page. OF course, I have used some black rub-ons, thermofax screens, stencils, doodles, stamps and the ranger perfect pearls paints on this one as well:
The front cover:
I’ve embellished with the perfect pearls paints in blue, and then added a black print from a couple of new stamps I’ve carved:
{I do really love the dimensional look of the perfect pearls paint} Surprise! {not really, I know!}
Front inside cover:
I added some black doodles with my sharpie pen, and another image from a stamp I carved:
Detail of the back page inside cover:
I really like this piece of gelli-printed paper — it’s actually my favorite of the four gelli-printed and screened papers I used to cover this journal which made it’s way to the inside of the the back cover:
I don’t think I will ever tire of blue and yellow together {it was also my high school’s colors}!
And… I will never tire of adding beautiful swirly designs from thermofax screens either!!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a good one wherever you are.

I redid google reader and the last post that the new and redone blog roll lists Minkee as your last post. Something isn't working.
me, too. I try deleteing and readding you. I don't want to miss out on this good stuff!
Hi Leslie! Even though you were still in my Google Reader, I have not been getting your posts so I had to come check out your blog to see if you've been posting. You have and I've been missing out! I deleted you out of Reader and added you back in by clicking the Followers on your site. Hopefully, that will fix it.
Anyway, I had to see what you've been up to and it looks like you've been creating more beautiful and colorful works. I love it all!
Have a gorgeous day,

My whole house is blue & yellow (with some white thrown in). Love that combination — it always reminds me of spring for some reason. Question: Just finished a spring wallhanging with a little bird who needs a black eye(well, you know what I mean). I'm thinking your pearl paint would work. Is it hard to do just one little drop? I know – practice, practice, practice.
