On my desk last week ..well without the desk..due to blogger grr!, was a journal page...
.well some you win and some you lose...I erm, well I tried to make it better...and let's just say...the left hand side bit the dust!!! (apart from the metal heart have kept that to use somewhere else!)..believe me when i had finished tinkering that was no hope for the page at all!!!
So here are the replacement pages...will do a post with details later:
Not sure the photos do the textures justice..but i am much a happier with them now....well, may still tweak the left hand page?!..lets hope it doesn't end in disaster!!!
Anyway have a great week I am off to get desk hopping before taking my daughter for her hospital appointment!!
Ps my blog candy is still running see here.
to join in all this midweek fun, hop across here and join in.
Wow, I thought it looked pretty good last week. Tinkering can get the better of us all. But I think you have still created amazing pages.

Well thats the fun of a journal - if you don't like it - more gesso & move on !! Love the blue page now - even in the photo you can see how textural it is !

What was wrong with it before? I like it in blue mind, and the texture is fabulous but.... we are never happy with our own work, are we! Oh, just me then.... have a good day,hope the hospital goes ok. Helen 16
ReplyDeleteFab pages, I see the texture and depth you've created too. Fab! Take care, enjoy desk hopping! Zo xx 62
ReplyDeleteOooh your desk looks ready for action! Love the new journal page, shame the old one didn't work out as I liked that one too! x April #86
ReplyDeleteDon't tweak it any more! It is lovely just as it is, really, yes it is......I have only just noticed that you have three Tim Holtz roundy thingys!!! I am getting one for my birthday, maybe I should have asked for two. Shame about your page, I liked it when you first showed it, especially the heart, but at least you saved that. Happy WOyWW, Anne x #54
ReplyDeleteGreat work space and I love the way you hang all your tags. I think the blue one with the butterfly is my favorite. The new journal pages are absolute great. They work well together because they are so different. Love the blue background with these 'stripes'. Hope you have a crafty week. Bye, Franka #44
ReplyDeleteYour pages look stunning, I really like them!!! Your desk by the way looks great too, I envy you all your inking tools!!

Such a relief to know it's not just me that ends up with bits that have all gone belly-up! This is a great turnaround though - I really like the contrasting colours with the images and themes that complement each other. The tape round the edge of the blue is gorgeously embedded in the colours. Like it all a lot!
ReplyDeleteAlso, finally managed to get your blog candy into my column PROPERLY instead of just a boring link! Very pleased with myself!!

Oh, I do like the addition of the sentiments - it's made all the difference! You must be very pleased with the outcome.

Beautiful. I love all your tags you have hanging up, just lovely. -Mari #107
ReplyDeleteI love the page on the right, shame about the loss of the one on the left but the blue replacement is very nice. Tinkering is a double edged sword!

Hi Trace - fab to see your pages evolving. I have a page in my art journal that I started and don't like one bit. It is still there unfinished. I read you must carry on until you get to where you want to be. So it is still there not torn out yet!! Love the addition of the quotes. Thanks for popping to see me - I've had my lunch now what about you!! :-) WOYWW Hugs from Helen 69
ReplyDeleteI don't know what they looked like last week, but theare lovely today. I like all of the texture you created. Dani 31
ReplyDeleteI love your pages & i'm sorry that you did'nt like what you'd did before. try not to be so hard on yourself . Happy crafting jill#73
ReplyDeleteFab pages and a well organised, interesting desk. Thanks for a peep at your workspace. Hope you have a good week - Hazel, WOYWW #124 x
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't tweak it if it was mine - think it is just right as it is, but then I liked the previous pages as well.
ReplyDeleteHaven't posted on your blog candy, not because I don't like the stamps, I do - in fact I have both plates already ha ha.
Thanks for visiting earlier - much appreciated.

Tinkering will be the death of us crafters won't it!!! It's so annoying when it all goes pear shaped, although I'm loving the blue you ended up with so it was all worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteHope the hospital appointment goes OK.

Your workdesk looks very inspiring. Your altered pages are fab, especially the red one.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Clean desk! I must advert my eyes! EEK! The first journal page attempt wasn't horrible; it was just kind of boring. The second one rocks though. I wouldn't monkey with it, but that's just me. Me, I'd move on to muck up something else.
ReplyDeleteHi, lovin the blog and what a cute workspace, puts my mess to shame lol. Love RAchael #115 xxx
ReplyDeleteWell THAT is tidy! And such pretty pages!

Lovely clean desk, I thought the pages were good before but the revamped ones are just brilliant, so much better. You must be happier too.\
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing

Wonderful clear desk Trace...all ready for the next adventure.
ReplyDeleteIt's always difficult to know when and where to tinker if you ask me ;D
You've done a fabulous job.
Have lots of fun! Neesie #14
What a great space to create in! Love your journal pages, very nice!
ReplyDeleteAny chance of you pooping over the Irish sea to Northern Ireland to tidy my desk? No? Darn it! I'm determined to get my desk organised by any means possible that don't involve ME actually doing it, lol. Love your pages, the textures look incredible. Lee x
ReplyDeleteGreat desk shot m love all those tags hanging. You are worrying too much about those pages - they are fine, in fact they are better than fine, they are lovely.
ReplyDeleteSorry I am late this week and thanks for the good wishes. Hugs, Neet #47 xx
