Hope you will check her blog as she makes amazing journal pages(and cards).This months prompt is "Light" interpret as you will.I had an already smooched background in my Pink Pig journal,then I used some flower stamps from Chocolate Baroque as they reminded me of hanging lights,the feathers and light bulb stamps were were craft mag freebies years ago.I added colour with promarkers and doodled lines with a silver Graphik pen.

What a fun page depicting light sources and I love the feathers mixed in with the bulbs. I always admire those who doodle because it adds such fun detail to everything. You met this challenge well once again :)

Wow, this is stunning Carol! I love those stamps and how you've arranged them on your page! The hearts inside the lightbulbs are so cool and they look like flowers glowing light from the center! You are always so great about using your backgrounds and I love it for this one with your stamps! Thanks for your inspiration every month and most of all thank you for sharing this lovely page for my theme at AJJ! Have a great weekend friend!
