Journal 52 for
week 22, Chelle's prompt is traveling.
Those of you who stopped by last week and saw my Mandala, read that I hoped I could use this background, which was the seepage from my Staz-on reinkers and alcohol.
Faced with this dilemma, I decided to find some images from a book I have that is called
The Traveler. I've used images from it before, but I've always fussy cut the images, rather than cutting around them. My only embellishment was the faux stitching I made with my Uni-ball ink pen. In a way, this looks like the sloppy stitches I would probably sew
IF I hand stitched, which I don't.
Even the week number came from a page in the book.
A few fun detail shots
show how quirky the images in this book really are.
I couldn't pull myself away, even though I had run out of room on my recycled file folder.
One more look and my imaginary travel experience must come to an end. Thank you for visiting, because I am not on Facebook or Flickr, the only places you can share group photos.

Those are some really cool images... I need to find a book like that :)
Your blue and tan traveling page is wonderful E!
At first I thought WOW Elizabeth was busy stitching ;)
Those images are super...
in fact I have an unmounted rubber stamp with the fellow peddling on the swan boat...it is a fav quirky stamp that I had to add to my swan collection...
Hope you are having a great weekend!

Very nice! Is your not being on Facebook a privacy issue? 'Cuz I sure wish you were! XO!
Oh, this is so cute! Perfect for the challenge! :)
Beautiful page, I love the vintage images and the stitching goes quite well with them. I've finished my 6th page by now and hope to get them uploaded today. :)
Excellent traveling page! The blue background brought a song to mind..."off we go into the wild blue yonder..."
I think I might have liked to try that first self-propelled contraption at the top!
nice page! I particularly like the 'stitching'. ;)
What excellent images for this challenge, and the faux stitching really ties it together (couldn't resist that one LOL)
It all came together so well, and you were worried about the background.
I am often amazed at the images you find. These are great
Loved the images you used as well as the color combo!
