Something OLD....Something NEW.....
This weeks challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge Blog!!
As we ring in the New Year.........everyone is busy with their RESOLUTIONS for 2012!!
But not me this year......I've been inspired by some of the folks over at Swirlydoos to create an Art Journal focusing monthly goals in the coming year!!! Now.......to me that sounds more attainable!
So, I put my thinkin cap on, pulled out a piece of Canvas Art Board
and let the creative process begin!!

I pulled out some MAGIC MESH.....
I pulled out some MAGIC MESH.....
love that stuff, some vintage lace and an ATC paper I've had FOREVER!!
The focal point of the cover is the Super Mega Bottle Cap. I placed the ATC paper at the bottom, cut to size, filled the bottle cap with Crackle Accents and then arrange the floral grouping of Petaloo flowers. Can I just say how I love the Forever Red Perfect Pearls mist on the Black Gesso
.....it just POPS!!!
Another product I just can't get enough of is the Chicken Wire Template!!! I spritzed Vintage Photo Reinker mixture, Forever Red Perfect Pearls Mist and Gathered Twig ink.....just LOVE THE LOOK!!
So.......how about you??? Did you make any Resolution???

Fabulous, Lynne!!! A gorgeous cover for your new journal!!!
Your journal cover is fantastic! Love the use of Magic Mesh (boy I have a lot of that somewhere) and the way you've done the red mist on the black gesso is divine. I can't seem to do much without that chicken wire stencil either.... love it! Happy New Year, Lynne!
