Come sail away with me . . . into my very old and aged book dating back to 1944 called
" Highland Journey "
what better way to start a journal, here in my part of Scotland.
❤️ If you know me then you know I adore using old books to journal in . . . this one was given to me by Alex`s Gran and the texture of the paper is deeelish ...it soaks up whatever you throw at it . . . Bliss!
💙 I love adding texture ... so I stamped the boat a 2nd time, did a little fussy cutting, added embossing powders with glitter for a little sparkle to finish.

How cute is that boat I ask you and have you seen that big juicy sun . . . loooove and they are a joy to stamp with.

Love the page!!! Great job, great colors!
Tracy this is fabulous! LOVE that boat!! And I love what you do on the opposite page regarding materials! Fabulous idea! Great job and thanks for hopping!!
Oh Tracy! This, as usual, is simply DELISH! And I LOVE the idea you have to provide a legend of your materials. That is BRILLIANT (because when I've been asked what I used on something...I can almost NEVER remember.)
And I'm glad you ran into your friend and relaxed. What a wonderful way to spend your evening (and I can so relate to starting a project at 10:30 :) ) Anyway, have a fab weekend.
This is a fantastic page!
So cute...and I love the idea of keeping a reference list of the materials used to create the page!

Wow, I love the movement of the waves and all the gorgeous color!
Beautiful. Don't apologize about not having pictures of the step-by-step. The glass of wine is always worth it.
Love the page!!
WOW! The page looks EXTRAORDINARY! So beautiful!
Pretty artwork, as always. This is a nice sailing theme. I like how you place the words separately. Sure makes them stand out. :)
