There are a few challenges happening this week and when I saw them, I knew they would be perfect together....just like coffee and cream, infused into me; via an IV line, over a period of 24/7!!
I am starting something completely NEW for me. It's like so 2001 for ya'll, I'm sure, but for me, it's brand spanking new. I'm starting a journaling book!!
No, it won't contain life altering tid bits of wisdom that I pass on to my heirs, but it will be chock-full of humorous quips that make me giggle.
So, here is my first journal page using the ever fabulous Sketch from Cardabilities and with it I have paired Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge of Coffee or Tea and Frilly and Funkie for their challenge of Something To Say.
I loved the concept of humorous quotes so much, I dove right into the pages and haven't even decorated the cover yet.
I'll just let the muse inspire when it's ready....
Biggest of hugs to you all and Happy Crafting!

This is a fabulous journal page and a great one to start off your book. I love the texture and layers you have managed to create within the sketch, just wonderful. It also made me chuckle too and I look forward to seeing more humorous entries in the future.

What an awesome way to use that sketch challenge with such an amazing result. Just love all the elements you added. Another side of your talent to share with us. Thanks Lisa.
What a cool page! I love your ability to just add different bits and bobs and make it look fabulous. When I try to do the same it just ends up looking untidy and too random.
Fabulous page!!! LOVE the dies!!! Great layers too!
ROCK STAR! I agree with the quote too!!! I'd be lost so totally lost without my coffee! Might I offer a challenge for the next page? Something on bras....boobs are funny most days, but I can only imagine what naughty stuff you might come up with...
Wow.. Lisa, your journal page is awesome! I love the beautiful embellishments you created. :)
Absolutely fabulous page Lisa and such a wonderful idea for a journal.
Whoa Lisa,

I can't wait to see your journal unfold and for all the giggles that are ahead for me to enjoy. This page is awesome and being a coffee lover too, I think it's perfect. Excited to see this adventure unfold! xx
I can't think of anyone that could possibly be any better than you at creating an art journal of any kind. I too am looking forward to seeing more of your journal pages. You know I am going to steal as much as possible!!

You absolutely deserved to win this challenge! Your entry is amazing! Congrats!!!
Wow! Everything about this page is amazing. Love the pops of color from the red heart and the turquoise circle. That ruler piece is gorgeous! Is it a die? If so ... We need the details!
Humph! You don't need to look for any humorous quote GF. You just right down the stuff that comes out of your own mouth. You have me rolling all the time. I'm sure your journal will be spectacular with all your cool mixed media skills. :-) Great start already.
Oh yay - what a brilliant first step into journalling - I adore your style, and the sentiment too - from a fellow coffee-worshipper. Love the layers and dimensionality and cool krafty look. Cannot wait to see more...

Hooray! Welcome to the journaling world! Your first page is awesomely fun and I'm loving the coffee theme! I love the idea of a 'make me smile' journal, too! Mine tends to be a combination of quotes and trial art techniques-still lots of fun!
