Team Circle Journal

I'm currently running a circle journal for my team mates on UKS. We have each chosen a theme and each month one of our team mates creates a page and posts to us.
I have received these so far and will make covers when I have some more time.

These pages were created by Liz I love the combination of colours she has chosen.

The verse is just so special and meaningful to me

Child of my child, heart of my heart, your smile bridges the years between us,

I am young again, discovering the world through your eyes.

You have the time to listen and I have the time to spend,

Delighted to gaze at familiar, loved features made new in you again.

Through you I see the future, through me you'll see the past,

In the present we will love one another as long as these moments last

These are from Suzy and I  had asked her to do them in an art journally style as she is so good at it. She has even managed to do them a bit more vintagey as she knows how I love this. There is so much detail.

The quote is " Some people come into our lives and quickly go, others stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same "

So true

Ravers Team Circle Journal

As part of a team the Rik Rak Ravers on UKs we all take our turn to run a challenge. Whilst the idea of a team Circle Journal wasn't mine I did volunteer to run it.

We have all chosen different themes and will complete a double page LO for each persons journal although die to ever increasing postage cost we will only be posting the pages to each person rather than the whole journal.

My theme is quotes or poems that I can use on scrapbook pages.

I have decided not to do my covers until I have got a few more pages back then I can decide better how best to do them

So here are my pages for my journal. I kept it quite vintagey as that's really the style I am most comfortable with. I have every intention of being more art journally as the CJ progresses and would love to see lots of different styles in my journal

 The above quote is  'home is where you treat your friends like family and your family like friends'

The quotes below are 'Families are like fudge, mostly sweet with lots of nuts'

and

'Family - like branches on a tree we all grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one'

I wanted the journal to be quite interactive so have pockets, tags and opening pages

My Mini Book

We take it in turns on our team on UKS to run a little challenge for the rest of the team ( I still need to do mine)
This was Dee's and she created this fantastic mini book with full insrtructions for us to do.Why dont you pop over to her blog and you can download full instructions Here
I decided to do mine on some of the places I love too - its been a labour of love with lots of hand stitching but I'm pretty pleased with the way its turned out

and a few close ups of some of the pages -
I called mine home and away as although I love travelling its always lovely to come home and I do love my home
