little white pen

this week, our DLP challenge  is to use a white pen 

prominently on our journal page…..

and i'm super happy about that, because i think the little white pen

is one of the sweetest little treasures in my art box.

it's great for adding a little sparkle in just the right places…...

and no matter how you use it,

it can make any journal page seem like a masterpiece!

{i used these supplies for the week 37 DLP challenge:

moleskine planner, kraft card stock, sakura white gelly roll pen, pitt pens,

derwent inktense pencils, 5B graphite pencil, washi tape}

*i love white.

i think it's the unsung hero in the crayon box.

*it's pure, it's genuine, it's clean, it's uncomplicated.

*white is the official color of angel clothing.

*it can be cold as ice or warm incandescent light.

*it gets along beautifully with every color on the color wheel.

*and it even tastes great in chocolate form. :))

girl on the go

this is a blank, hardcover journal that i made yesterday.  for this book, i used fabric that i bought at the quilt show this past weekend.  as with my other journals, the inside is filled with italian velata paper.  i sewed some black and white cloth tape to the front and it wraps around the spine onto the back cover.  to finish, there are two wooden buttons (made by me by gluing paper to wooden discs) hand-sewn to the front cover using waxed linen thread.  i love the black, white and hot pink combination, and while i don't usually use novelty-type fabrics, it's fun to deviate from the norm every once in a while!
