Craft Barn's two words for this 23 challenge are Journey and Friendship.
For this piece, I chose the word Journey. I spray painted a blue background, then added splotches of old nail polish, something I haven't used in a long time. I wasn't thinking properly, possibly because it's past my bedtime, and most of the splotches ended up in the area I covered up with the picture.
I sanded around the focal image I cut in an irregular shape.
I printed this quote by Tim Cahill on my computer, using the Seagull font. I thought I had it positioned lower, and couldn't read it once I had printed it. The quote reads:A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles.You can also see the 23 in the image above that I punched from a book page. Other elements include my used file folder, an image I've been saving for just the right moment, spray paint, and nail polish.

As I have throughout the year, I visited everyone again this challenge, although I can't leave comments to those on Facebook or Flickr. I was able, however, to (sort of) leave a comment for Fiona, but only because of my dear internet friend Mo (Twinkle Toes), who generously agreed to forward the message. For that I am extremely grateful.

Wow Elizabeth you are speedy getting your Challenge up lol!
Beautiful quote, gorgeous blue and nail polish background and your focal image is very very cute.
I have the perfect stamp for one of the words, it is my favourite ever quote but i will try and find both as that is my challenge within the CB Challenge.
Enjoy your Sunday:-) xxx
love the entry, Elizabeth, fast as ever!
The image is really sweet, and a perfect quote to boot!
Such an interesting quote from a travel writer who has covered so many miles :) Sweet.
Beautiful is this!

Very nice and a beautiful quote to go with such a precious picture. Hugs, Rasz
Hehehe, hi elizabeth. I've been about three quarters of a day behind AEDM for about four to five days where before I was almost 24 hours ahead! Sometimes life gets in the way but at least I'm still getting my art in by the skin of my teeth, lol. Usually only by almost midnight the day it's due. Tomorrow I'll be getting two pieces done so I can be back to posting with you early. I like that way best.
Your piece looks so sweet, the fox image is wonderful. See you tomorrow my friend!
Such a beautiful and heartfelt work of art, Elizabeth! I love the image so much - and your sentiment is perfect here!
Wow, such a cute foxes, love them :-)
The image and the quote suit the challenge so well.

Love the quote and the sweet image. Nail varnish is a great idea, I must give it a go.
Such a cute photo - I was thinking your were doing friendship but they're definitely on a journey. Loving the background!
Another fab page. Love the image, the blue and the nail polish. Have to give the nail polish a try sometime. Love the effect :)

One way to use my unloved polish!
The foxes image is really cute...

I love your nail varnish splotches. What a clever idea. The foxes are so cute and illustrate your quote perfectly.
