Breathe

I've gotten a ton

of projects done this week, and still have some I haven't posted from last. Here are four pages I made for my Christmas mini album...

This album started

back here, and since then I've added here plus todays pages. I have a dozen or so more at the front of the album I haven't posted. All in all, it's getting rather chunky and I may need to double up some shots on pages to get it all in.

I also have a couple 

 of art journal pages that I haven't shown you...

I did these in 

that cheap composition book I told you about awhile back. I love the texture these thin pages gave this by wrinkling up... a look I only like with this style.

This map paper is

actually a piece of a bag I've had in my stash for a couple of years. I thought it was time to give it a new use.

The border was 

created with a Dylusions border stencil and Tsukineko Walnut Ink spray antiquing solution. I guess I didn't shake the bottle good enough, because the sticky stuff wouldn't dry. Such a shame because it looked really good. I ended up wiping it with a rag and blending it in as best I could. When it finally dried, I went around it with a charcoal pencil, smudging as I went.

Lots of stamping

and stenciling with molding paste.

One more thing to show...

Isn't this a beauty?

 The Penmaker is going to town again, making one pen after another... I had to show you this one. The colors are absolutely gorgeous!

Sorry this was

such a long post. I had so many things I wanted to show you today.... hope it didn't get boring.
