Journal page and a moan

I can't tell you how much I hate this page or how many layers it has - even though I struggle with layering, why create a lovely page and then cover it up? - it has so many layers as I hated it but everytime I put another layer on it looked worse!

There is acrylic paint, sprays, gesso... it seems that a lot of sprays (october challenge, cosmic shimmer mists) flick ink everywhere when you pull the lid off - luckily it hasn't stained anything or anywhere yet but what a pain!

I decided I couldn't make it any worse so I used some ugly paper (paper from card stack which I didn't like - there is usually one) sprayed and stencilled and background stamped it. Then I stamped my sentiment.

It reads - try - it doesn't have to be perfect - just try. Thought it suited this page!

I am now on my 3rd week of being off work ill with a viral infection. I KNOW there are some people at work who will think it's the same as being on holiday but it really isn't! Although those same people will drag themselves in and infect everyone else...

I have to say I'm getting pretty fed up of it - haven't really got the energy to get much done, including crafting so I'm hoping it's on it's way out and I will be back to normal soon

Hope your week is going well and you are not poorly !
