As for the journal itself, I've continued to use K & Co papers and distressing edges with worn lipstick ink. I used stamps from the Kanban Cavendish ladies range - the first one is from 'day at the races' and the second from 'putting on the ritz'. I've used a mixture of paper piecing and colouring with copics, with the addition of a few gems and various flowers and gems scattered on the pages.
You can read what I've written if you click on the pictures to enlarge them.
I really enjoyed doing this. Much as I love making cards, this made a change. I nearly didn't join the CJ group because of the pressure of other things, but I'm so glad I did.How strange that, having done this, including the paper piecing, I was checking challenges today and have just found out that Freshly brewed 16 is 'paper piecing', so I'm linking for that.
There are lots of films from the 1920s era, particularly The Charleston and Roxie Hart, starring Ginger Rogers - I've just had a fun time watching a few clips on the internet - so I'm linking for Hels' Sunday Stamper 121 'more like the movies.
