TGIF - FWF Friday!!!

Yay!  It's Friday, yippeee!!! Today I'm posting something slightly different.  I have been following Donna Downey's blog, and been really inspired by her art journals.  I bought this book awhile ago, intending to use it as a mini album for a friend, but realized it had way too many pages for a mini album, and with it's thick, water-colour like paper, thought it would be perfect for an art journal.  I finally got my hands on some Faber Castell gelatos, and have been wanting to play with them, so I used those, and some Unity/Donna Downey co-brand stamps to create my first page.  I hope to play in this journal often, especially trying out new techniques and mediums.
