Wow I won! I won!

How exciting to find out this morning (a Monday morning, no less) that I won Michelle Ward's last GPP Street Team crusade... Pandora's Box! I had such fun putting the box together and then journaling with it. I guess it was because it's my lucky birthday month or something... I don't tend to win stuff that often... but then I don't gamble much so that could be why. The Street Team crusades are such fun... participating is really winning in and of itself and you get to meet such fun people. Winning the contest is just icing! And it must be said that Michelle is just awesome for inspiring such creativity and participation not to mention connecting like-minded arty souls... I hope some of it rubs off on me!

Crusade 16 Journal Your Blog

Ok, here's the real, hands-on, cut, paste and paint version. This was a bit of a struggle... had to rip up the first attempt and re-place them on a new sheet to try again. I didn't like the paint, it got too unfocused. This one is still a little all over the place, but I like it better. These were my blog banners for the What's Your Muse Crusade from a few months back. I have another few blog items to try out but didn't get them done last night. It was fun to get out the paint and slop it on. I haven't done that in a while. I wanted to get more rubber stamps in, but wasn't finding what I wanted. I liked this theme so it was fun to do something extra with it. I probably could have done a page for each muse now that I think of it. Too bad there's not enough time in the day/week to do all the things I think of doing!
