Fresh Pair of Googly Eyes

I can't help myself to stick two pairs of googly eyes on my journal pages after seeing them so cute on Lisa Minkler's blog. Check out her owl cards here. Yesterday, I found just the perfect quote to go along with the googly eyes that says " Originality is simply a pair of fresh eyes" by Thomas Wentworth Higginson.

And I've just got to have chubby birds on my journal too :). Here's how they look,

   
Background colors are from water-soluble crayons and glimmer mist over a stencil. Drew circles with black india ink and let some dripped to create chubby birds. I also collaged numbers from newspapers, cupcake wrappers, measuring tape and masking tapes.



Drew circles & dots with correction pen and calling it done :).
A quick & fun spread from me. Till next, happy journaling!.
Hugs.

  15. Hah! What fun pages. I had to really look to spy the eyes and then once I did, the whole bird came into focus... so clever! Love the way you off set the white circle as it made it truly hard to see and then such fun once I did focus on it.
