This is my "Happy" themed journal page for Stamperrobin's (aka Robin, my sistah from anudder mudder and Cali mate) Free For All challenge. I appreciate that Thelma, Louise and their next door neighbour, Morticia may not make everyone smile, but doing weird stuff like this makes me grin from ear to ear and very happy indeed.
The best part of a journal is, there are no rules, you simply do whatever makes you happy on the day. Colour co-ordinated hair, eyes and dresses make me happy, digi images makes me happy, getting excellent use out of a cook book makes me very happy. It certainly makes me happy to use up my liquid pearls before they clog up just like all the other bottles that have either thickened like cement or hemorrhage all over a card.
About my page, Thelma, Louise and Morticia started out life as a digi image by Vera Lane Studio, printed onto copy paper and then coloured with Prismacolour Pencils and Copic markers. Morticia's face is just pencils. All of their eyes are pencils and a white gel pen.
Tip: If you are using Copics over the top of pencils, especially waxy pencils like Prismacolour, you might want to clean them off a bit on a scrap of paper before putting them away.
The girls were fussy cut, torn in places and then adhered to the cookbook page. Because copy paper is very thin, the best way to adhere it and avoid lumps is to completely cover the paper with a glue stick. I use Bostik glue stick, I think Elmers glue stick are the same. It's just the normal cheap stick glue from the stationary store.
Thank you for looking, and I hope you get some craft-time to join in and fill the gallery with happiness! Have a good weekend everyone.

LOL....awesome journal page and story. Your girlies have great colour coordination. They remind me of a Modigliani painting or wouldn't look out of place in Salem with hats in tow. Love it. TFS. Happy day
