My MIMM with Kirsty Wiseman is finished.

Page 14, about my handbag.

page 15, about my makeup.

page 16,about my handwriting.

page 17,about music.
page 18, about my family
page 19, about my friends.
page 20, about food.
and finally inside the back cover.
in the photos you can see lots of prompts and blank spaces, these have all now been filled in with my journalling.
There are also 20 tags, hidden in the pockets made by sticking pages together at the sides. I coloured the tags and added some texture.
Then I decorated each tag and added journalling.

here is the book all finished, really thick and colourful.
Take a look at Kirsty's journal classes, you will really enjoy playing with them.

MIMM

Some more of my MIMM journal. I am having so much fun playing with this little book.

Amy, you definately have to do it, you will love it.

So here is the inside of the front cover..


















page 5 which is about skin...



















page 6 and 7 which are all about what is going on inside my head.












page 8  and 9 which are  all about my heart and love..












pages 10 is all about my hands..


















and page 11 which is all about my feet..


















page 12 is about me..


















and page 13 is about my house..



















Again I have left spaces on all the pages to go back and fill in the relevent answers.

I have almost finished the book, but there are still 20 tags to make which will slip into the pockets between the pages.

MIMM

I am working away in my little Me in my MoleskinE class book, and loving it. The pages are just big enough to have a good old play and get all inky and messy...but not too big that they take forever or that I lose interest.

These are my first four pages...
the first is about my name, there are spaces left for the answers to be filled in..


the second page is about the clothes I wear usually...

the third page is about wearing clothes for special occasions

and the fourth page is bout my hair

this is turning out to be a fun little book to make, if you fancy doing it too see the link to Kirsty's page in my previous post.

When I grow up I want to be a paint mixererrrr!

Last night I decided to mix up some new paints. I have a journal class to do with Kirsty Wiseman and I quite fancied some shimmery new paints to use in it.Of course no money to buy any, so I looked at my supplies..

As luck would have it, I also knew of a great little video by my friend across cyber space...Paula Phillips

So I gathered my ingredients..
Artist grade acrylic paints..matte medium...gloss medium...pearl ex powders..some Ikea wooden coffee stirrers..and some little jars.














How cute are those little jars, they only hold 28g which is 1 ounce, but for trying out new paints they are perfect. They are free too, if you happen to have a liking for cream teas as I do, then when you are given your little pot of jam just take it home with you.

Then I watched Paula's video... <--- click="" for="" p="" video="">So I mixed up 9 colours. See the shimmer in them..















Don't ask me what I put in each one, I haven't a clue. I just played. they are one offs never to be recreated hahaha.

I then thought i would give them names....this was a 3am idea obviously..















Here they are all painted out, they are fairly translucent.


















It is very difficult to show you the shimmer.



As I said to start with these are for a little journal i am doing, first job was to decorate the front of the book.  

I brushed on the 'Daisy Duck Egg' added some splashes of 'Lily the Pink Lime' and then using the rim of a coffee mug I added the rings in 'Oddly Oddly Conker'. Here is a close up, hopefully if you open the photo you will be able to see the shimmer.                                                                                                            



















Finally the title of the book is added...
