I should be working in my HIMnal, but had to test out a few pages in my notebook. Acrylic paint and rubber stamp ink work really nice on the pages. Spray paint bleeds through (as it does on most journal pages) but the effect is super cool because it's so random and will guide your play on the next page.
Michelle,
You have been busy girl! And what inspiration! Beautiful pages as usual, makes me want to go back home and work in my book instead of being at work.
Hope you share your pages in your HIMnal as well.
Can’t wait to see more!
Until later,

Hey Michelle! FAB new banner!!! I am, as always, in awe… really love seeing what you’ve been doing in your journal, too… I’m still stunned by the banner, though! You go, girl… BRAVA!!! xoxo
Awesome! I think my favorite is the one in blues and greens with your picture, because you’re right, it’s best to be able to see the backgrounds.
Also, 3/23 is your anniversary? It’s my birthday! How weird is that???
Inspiring…daring, bold and free — that’s what art should be — wonderful examples!
Thanks for the ideas and the inspiration. I am so wowed by the blank pages in this journal that I keep NOT wanting to touch them. However, I do agree with you about leaving some space for the walls to show through and I love your photoshopped self!
Amazing pages Michelle ! I so love your photoshopped self. What a fantastic “truly you” tool to have in your tool box as a stencil, mask or page element !
Thanks for the wonderful inspiration, as always. It was great to see what is happening in your journal.
(Happy belated anniversary !)

i am a technology dum dum, but i don’t understand why your photos don’t show on google reader. do you have any idea? maybe its some setting i don’t have right? anyway, i’d like to fix it to be able to follow you.
I’m totally in awe of your mad skillz!! I found you through the feb/mar/apr issue of “Artful Blogging.” I couldn’t wait to check out your blog… and now I’m hooked on your blog and your Street Team techniques/challenge. I can’t wait to carve out some time to try out your suggestions. Looking forward to digging deeper. Thanks for the inspiration!
You are the Queen of Layering!
These pages are wonderful Michelle!
Happy anniversary!
Mam…your pages are a sight for sore eyes!
Happy Anniversary!! I’ve been SO busy getting ready to go somewhere that I’m WAY late.
These are so good, so vibrant. your correspondence with the author? hmmm…
as an aside, I’m using dry brushing and spray paint so much now that it’s ‘bleeding’ over into my other work! haha!! get it? ‘bleeding’? HA!
ok
OMG!! I absolutely LOVE your pages!! They are like these incredibly cool street scenes only in miniature. And with you as an adorable urban-chic paper doll. Happy Anniversary! oxox
Hi Michelle! I love the Notebook that you’ve found, I can see it would be a great inspiration!
I’m travelling again for work, and this time in Buenos Aires. I managed to fit in a visit to the very famous Recoleta Cemetary, and of course the grave of Eva Peron (Evita). I did think about getting you some grave dirt, but unfortunately, it’s not that kind of cemetary. It’s more like a City of the Dead where all the family coffins are housed in little houses. Well, some of them are more like little churches.
Anyway, if you are interested, here is a link to the photos I took there. I am so busy with work these days that photography is literally the only creative outlet I have right now! Anyway, hope you enjoy: http://brayergirl.typepad.com/brayergirls_blog/2009/03/recoleta-cemetary-buenos-aires-argentina.html
Nobody does it better…………. :o)
these are amazing pages Michelle. really.
Hey Michelle, Could you please get in touch with your personal pal Ville and see if he would see fit to help me replace my lost HIM items? Maybe he could come and play for my benefit April 19th? I have to tell you…because you are the only one that won’t think I am insane…the night of my fire…my husband went in to the house…and salvaged…guess? My HIM earrings! Then, the next day a friend gave me a HIM cd and a GUITAR so I could still keep strumming PLAY DEAD…then, I went to get something to eat and the total was $6.66…and one of the customers had a HIM sweatshirt on. Coincidence? I think not!
Squee! SO cool, these pages of yours!!! I can’t wait to get my copy of the wall journal!
Excellent pages in an excellent book. Love your style!
awesome pages, so vibrant and sooo u!
Whoa….MORE inspiration?…delightful.
I remember that when you started this Blog, you were determined to build a community and open-heartedly SHARE.
Mission accomplished…over and over and over again.
Michelle, How wonderful and bold you are! To jump in and actually start USING the Walls Notebook – I have this tendency to “save” such things for … what for I’m not sure, but they linger so long in the “Saved” pile that I forget them or they disintegrate. YaY for you and thanks for inspiring everyone – as always!!!
Hey girlfriend!
Hope you ordered more than 1 of these…because at this rate you could fill several! LOVE IT!!!
xo…deb
I love your pages Michelle…so inspirational! And that notebook is truly amazing! BTW not only do our hubbies share the same name but we both got married in March. Mine is tomorrow (I have been married for 10 years more than you though :lol:)
Ordered my copy last week!
Michelle what an amazing blog! Your colors and techniques are quite an inspiration. I am new to photography and blogging and loved your article in Artful Blogging about photoshop. Which one do you recommend a first time user to purchase?
