Natalie's journal is a nice A4 size binder, though when I received it, I didn't actually know whose journal it was - sorry Nat, your instructions have gone missing along the way!
A check back through the blog showed what Natalie was looking for in her journal.
I decided to base my pages on the green eyed monster - envy, greed, jealousy and all those other unpleasant emotions. Sometimes the grass does look greener on the other side of the fence, or we try to keep up with the Jones' (easy for me, since I'm a Jones!), but a reminder now and then to look at the positives in your life and be happy is always good!
I started with a gelli-printed background with some collaged bits and some stamped flowers.
On the right, same background, then I painted a green eyed girl on it. The writing in the background is the lyrics to Jesse J's 'Price Tag' which I thought went well with the theme.
And both pages:
I enjoyed doing this spread, hope you like it Natalie!
Cheers, Lisa
