Collage Confession....

I admit. I am guilty.
I've always had a soft spot in my heart for collage.
There is something about all those layers of yummy textured paper, 
color, and pattern that makes me smile!

An inside look, at a few of my latest pages, 
I have been working on in my collage journal.


I do not have a sister. 
Yet, I see the beautiful bond my two daughters have. 



Visual expression is sometimes self explaining... 





I really enjoy exploring the possibilities with paper.
Combining colors, patterns, typography, and images without applying paint...
now, this is my biggest challenge!

  8. This is beautiful April... yes, i know exactly what you mean about collage. I feel the same way.
    Your reference to sisters is so heartwarming. I don't have a sister either, but i love what you said about the bond between your daughters. Beautiful work, as usual. Very inspiring. xox
