One completed page
and
one background
see some new transparent tape?
Yum!!
Oh, I have decided I don't like to use gel medium to glue images on theses. Though it's great for smooth backgrounds it gets a little messy,and if it gets on the top of the image it's hard to write on. If I am doing a painting or mixed-media piece I use the gel medium and cover the image with it too, especially if I will be adding paint on top. But in these collage journal pages I want to be able to write directly on top of the papers and images. I have found a glue stick I like a lot. It's Scotch wrinkle -free glue stick.
I am off to take our kitty Flirt to the vet. She has a bladder full of stones and is having surgery today.

Once again I love your journal pages. I really like how you use numbers on your pages. It looks so cool! For some reason I relate so many things to music. As soon as I saw your journal pages here, I thought of the song: 1,2,3,4 by Leslie Feist. You will have to look that song up! It's a catchy tune that sticks with you.
Keep us updated on the furbaby. Your journal pages are lovely.
poor kitty! I hope he's ok! (I'll pray for him!) I'm enjoying your journal pages so much Mary!
Hopeing Flirt will come through her surgery nicely. Mary I am so inspired by your journaling.
awww poor kitty,I hope everything goes well. I love both of your pages.
Sending positive healing thoughts....may your kitty have rapid recovery.
I love the glue stick idea compared to gel medium. But glue sticks can be quite messy too.....or maybe I'm just a messy person, period.
Lovely pages...and hope your kitty feels better soon. I love the UHU glue stick...works awesome! I do mostly use gel, though, and apply it with my finger.
