"I'm Going to do it."

I started my journal and already realized that it would have worked out better if I had chosen a blank book with heavier paper.  I am currently used 98 lb.  I did have a great time even if it took forever to start.

 
Over at LETS PLAY with Carolyn Dube, her January theme for a journal page or project is, "use something you would throw away."
 
AND, I also joined CREATIVE EVERY DAY with Leah Piken Kolidas. 
 
The page on the right was created from a brochure received to sign up for a variety of classes.  I had put it in the trash and then realized it would be great for the January challenge at LETS PLAY.  Being new to creating journal pages, I felt like the elements on the page.  There were so many things going round and round in my head, I wasn't sure where to begin.  Well, the cogs are turning and I did complete this spread.  I used stencils and modeling paste on the JOURNAL page along with watercolor washes.

very good illustration of what play should be versus letting the brain kick in.
