Dylusions

Like I said, my hands were itching to use the Dylusions stamps again. So the challenge at The Dyan Reaveley Art Journaling Fan Club Facebook page by the queen herself
;-) couldn't be more appropriate. The challenge is to use pink (check), a figure stamp by Dylusion (check) and the words "I believe in me" (check).

Something different

I have made these pages a while ago, but never showed them here. It's in a moleskin, love them, but just cannot work in a journal like this. So I work on loose paper and stick them in the moleskin. It's just for fun :-D





It's been a while since I played with the Dylusions stamps and my hands are itching to use them again :-D
