Well, part of this week's journaling homework was journaling with numbers. I've gotta say, this workshop is giving me tons of ideas to scrap old pictures I've had laying around for years...pictures that I've always liked, but never found a place for, because they didn't really go with anything else. Anyway, so I've had this pic of my friend Ryan for ages (probably almost as long as I've known him), and when I was flipping through my box of pictures, I just knew it was the picture for this assignment. Weirdly, while I'm a numbers-oriented person as far as math/statistics go, I had a really hard time reconciling that with my crafty side for this project. I think maybe I need to put more stock in that whole left-brain/right-brain dominance thing. I must've went through a dozen scenarios with different numbers, and they just didn't seem to relate to each other enough, or seem important enough to go on the page...I finally settled on a less-is-more approach, and I think it turned out pretty good. I added another handlettered title and a doodled band/border for my doodling workshop. I'm sort of obsessed with the doodled band...I'm going to be doing that one on everything for a while, I think ;) Here's the end result:
Also in this journaling workshop, our teacher keeps talking about a favorite pics album that she keeps. I'm thinking that's a brilliant idea. Pictures that aren't necessarily in chronological order...or that don't go with any particular theme, location, date, etc...just pictures that you like, and you want to keep in one place to enjoy. I think that's sort of what my "homework scrapbook" is going to turn out to be, because I've just been gathering up pictures that I like that have been homeless thusfar. Anyway, I best be getting to bed...more homework tomorrow unless I'm totally slacking! :)
