Hi everyone!

Today's page was inspired by alcohol inks, not that I used much of them and not that you'd know in the final result LOL. It's got my fave circles on it so that's a good start :)

Hi everyone!

My last page for the year (even though I didn't edit it and upload it until 2023) was done in my 5 1/2 x 8 1/4" mixed media journal.

I had bought the Toadstool Town stamp set early on in December and I just had to use them. So I used all but 2 of the stamps on this page. I didn't know what the title was or where it was going until towards the end when I added the lone bird without wings on the mushroom, then it came to me! However, this page took me 4 1/2 hours to complete!
