On my desk easel you can see another page from Michelle's Creative Warriors  Junk Journal July Challenge This is the second week: again l have managed to do two pages.


Day 5 and 6 again 
using images and sentiment from Confidence.



I have written a little more on the round up post. The next two image sets have now been posted so I will start on week 3 soon.

What else have I been doing? I added another side to this angel: This was an item I found in a charity shop and I decided to adapt it.


I have been making several accordian booklets - this is one where the images are from Gecko Galz.

Another item was this card after watching this video to use up the backing sheets from serviettes.


All for now... 
Happy WOYWW!

This is my new side:
