Ah yes.....journaling. My style varies a little bit..sometimes I hit the journal page with one word..other times a few lines in my "serial killer handwriting" and then there is the one sentence thought. Anyway, I love to write something on each page. Here are two pages I made for the crusade:
You can check out more of my journal pages here..they're all here!
Happy 30th, Crusaders!

Lovely texture & layering. The big of crackle really appeals to me.
Posted by: Regina | April 11, 2009 at 10:16 AM
The crackles are awesome, so is the heart-page, I love them! Happy Easter and Crusading Julie!

The first one knocks my socks off but they are all fabulous.
I've always loved the depth and texture you bring to your work, Julie. There's also an element of the unseen being as important as what's seen. . . and a sort of abstract visual poetry. But I think what I like best is the fact that you're not interested in pretty but in a deeper, more beautiful truth.

Julie - you know how I love your handwriting style - these are GREAT!!!! I also went and took a peek at your journal pages. Your artwork is inspiring and awesome!

Thank you!! I always put the audio track on after I make the video because I choose one of YouTube's "approved" songs. I find it's easier that way too because they do it for you. :) Looking forward to seeing more of your work!!!
