Canals and Apples

I'm really enjoying playing with journalling at the moment and making this page for UKScrappers Scrap Factor challenge gave me a great chance to try something new. I cut holes in the kraft cardstock and affixed lined paper behind them to create journalling bubbles. I was really pleased with the effect which creates a bit of dimension and makes the writing seem embedded into the page. Fabcakes! And that's enough self-adoration for today.

Journalling reads:

"Going for a walk along the canal was an accident. Because the guy at the diner said it was closed and refused me French toast, we had to look elsewhere for food. So we wandered along the canal which wound through all sorts of little waterside communities. Canal boats, ducks and ducklings, riverside cafes, people drinking and dancing. Then at Angel, the canal disappeared into a tunnel with no footpath. So we followed little tiles set into the streets in Angel. On the way, we tripped over some awesome Mexican burritos and a cup of tea (hurrah!) and about a mile later, hit the canal. We followed it to Limehouse. We got the DLR there because I reckon we'd basically hit the Thames. Robert pedantically didn't think so but he was wrong. When you've walked that far, it definitely counts. Six miles, Camden to Limehouse."

The challenge was to use a sketch and you can check out other interpretations in the UKS gallery. There's also Shimelle's interpretation which comes with a video. Note to self: learn how to make a video. *envy* Thanks so much if you voted for me - I'm loving playing along each week and there's some really inspiring stuff coming out of the galleries each week. Now onto the next...

P.S. I'll be back soon with the page I made for the class at the weekend. But now it's time for Glee...
