Like No Other

I saw on the newspaper yesterday, a very nice advertisement showing simple things I love, photographed in a montage-style. It came with a catchy line that said 'Like No Other'. Love the grungy look of it so much I created a journal spread for it. I collaged the images and even the title on my pages! :).


I colored the background with blue & red water-soluble crayons, smudged with wet finger. It turned out as grungy as I wanted. Almost like I hang frames of my favorite things on a beaten up wall. Using a correction tape, I outlined each of the image as if they were Polaroid photos. Lastly, doodled all over the pages with a correction pen. 


A few of my favorite things: Good canvas walking shoes, red hot scooters!, great life music, cool cameras, old automobiles (especially VW camper) and bicycles (the cuter, the better). BLISS. I saw a guy riding this hottie to Bangsar Shopping Center one day, and boy was I thrilled??. I walk almost everywhere, so having a good pair of shoes is a must. And back in college, I cycled to SAFEWAY to do groceries :). 


How about take a moment on long summer afternoons ... over a nice cool glass of lemonade, think about what makes you happy. Little things that make you chuckle, maybe. Put them on your journal pages :)). Will you join me?. 

Hugs,
Shahrul

  1. WOW, these pages are soooo COOL!! I love the red/white/blue it's my favorite color combo!! The added white around pictures and doodles really make the page POP and FUN!! I will have to try this also, all your favorites are good also.

    I have to say thank you again for sharing your thoughts on the pages you create, it just makes it more fun and inspires me to let go and have fun.

    The doodles you shared yesterday inspired me to write on my page ( I rarely write) and doodle in a whole different way. This then started my thinking on a whole new level that's been in the back of my mind. When I have more to show and feel brave enough I will post them on my blog and tell you. THANK YOU!!
