Wreck This Journal #4

Today for the first time in a couple of weeks I have had some time to myself. Yes my to-do list is as long as my arm yes I am off to University in 6 days and yes there are jobs I could be doing. HOWEVER today I decided to spend some time doing things for me. So, after a few extra hours in bed and some netflix I opened up my Wreck this journal and below are some of the results intermingled with some old pages I haven't yet shown you.

Wreck this journal #3

One of the beauties of the wreck this journal is that it is constantly evolving. The more you put in it the more it grows. Under this sentiment it is perhaps not surprising that some of my favourite pages are not yet finished articles, still waiting for me to add to them.

Wreck this Journal #2

I have had a really positive response to my recent wreck this journal blog post and the kind comments you have all left me have encouraged me to post further pictures of my book. Some of these are more recent pieces of work and others are older work I did not feature in my previous post. I hope they provide you with some inspiration.

This page used a couple of old scraps of paper I had, I think they clash nicely with the darkness of the opposite page.

This page is more of a work in progress than finished article and admittedly some of the stickers are from veg not fruit! I hope to collect many more yet. 

This page is perhaps one of my favourites in the book, I drew the American flag design first and stuck and cut the strips later on.

On this final photo I have written one of my favourite quotes, something that really is important to remember and opposite, alongside my spilt coffee I have written an Ed Sheeran lyric that seemed to fit perfectly. 

What do you think? Unfortunately the pictures are not perfect quality (blame the gorgeous weather) but I hope you enjoyed seeing them. I'd love to hear your comments. 

Wreck This Journal #1

I've had my copy of wreck this journal for some time and have - somewhat sporadically - started to fill it up with a number of experiments and bits and bobs. Unfortunately I haven't added to it for some time and it has sat, alone on my bookshelf, gaining dust.

However today I stumbled across not one, but two of my favourite bloggers talking about their own experiences with this book -  you can check them out at vivatramp and tiny paint pot - which have inspired me to crack this book out again.

So first up heres a couple of photos to show you my progress so far, all these pages are old ones but hopefully soon I will be able to update with some pieces of my more recent creations!

This was a really fun page to complete, drawing the numbers on top of one another was quite a new way of working for me.

Although this looks like a shoe print I actually drew this from the bottom of my dads boot - I couldn't quite face putting dirty shoe prints in my journal just yet!

I'm really pleased with the effect of this page, its quite quirky an again was a lot of fun to complete!

Have you got a wreck this journal I'd love to see what you do for more inspiration? Please let me know what you think of mine too!
