This week I started Journal 52 and the first prompt was "Up, Up and Away".
First I looked for suitable quotes and found two I liked.
I had already gessoed and painted the backgrounds, then added stars with modeling paste and the quote.
The second quote called for a butterfly and I used the paint blot technique to create it.
I am also participating in Daisy Yellow's Creative Experiments Challenge.
I used the journal pages above to:
1. use a technique I am learning (using modeling paste)
2. create something to use in my journal (the butterfly)
Calendar Challenge
I have also decided to take part in the Calendar Challenge at the Kathryn Wheel. I have tried this challenge but did not complete it. I hope to this year.
I stamped snowflakes over the blue background and used handmade pink and lt. blue rectangles for the days.
ATCs
I also completed some ATCs today for a swap and they fit the challenge at Collage Obsession:
2014 -Year of the Horse
(These horses are the Canadian stamps for Year of the Horse.)

Wow, Beverly. I had no idea we were in so many challenges together. First Kate's calendar challenge, and now Project 52. This will be a fun year, where we run into each other often, I'm sure.
BTW, those ATCs are incredible. I've just started working on my CNY Year of the Horse. Love those stamps. My kind of art!
