late tuesday

It's late on Tuesday….and I'm finally getting around to posting my RT Journal pages!  It's nearly full so I picked up a new one today because I want to carry on in this theme.  Today's pages are test-run print-outs of my new stamp images.  I had been working on a totally different collection when these ideas came to me – I will explain my vision when I upload the completed sheets this weekend.  Since we are working on grid formats with the GPP Street Team I thought I would stretch the definition of linear layout and make an Evidence spread with these circular punch-outs in my journal.  Some terrific entries posted on the link list over at the crusade blog.  Go see what we are up to and join in!

I'm sticking to my self-imposed deadlines for several projects including this collection and the other one which will follow in a few weeks.  Kids are out of school – nice to be able to sleep in :)  My wrist is slowly mending.  X-ray didn't show anything but it is still painful when I twist it – so I wear a brace during most of the day to keep it protected.  Had a lovely Father's Day weekend – took Graham to our first country western concert, Toby Keith, in an outdoor amphitheater venue.  Really wonderful.   Been following the World Cup.  Tomorrow is a big day for both US and England.  Cheering for both!

Hope you are enjoying the sun and all that comes with the change of the season.

    Michelle-
    I am just amazed by the ideas you come up with. I know I will have to have them all, but which ones first?!?! I love them all.
    I was beginning to worry about you…over a week with no post! I hope you are not in too much pain, the hands are the worst when you work with them so much. When I had to have carpal tunnel sugery I about went crazy! Hope you are healing.
    Sorry I have not emailed, my computer died at home and work has been impossible.
    Hope to email soon,
    Until later,
    Judy

    I love the new stamps, Michelle. I’ve always loved circles, so I really like these. Guess Carrie and I will have to share them!
    Hope the wrist gets better soon,

    i adore circles!! and the you rock sheet is awesome–makes me even sadder that i will not be able to attend the Melissa concert this year 🙁 i might still have some older photos that need to be scrapbooked though….hmmmmm…and of course i am learning to play the bass…mmmmm
    sad to say, I have joined you in the wrapped wrist club 🙁 i was rear-ended yesterday and my wrist took the brunt of the hit as i braced against the steering wheel 🙁 its all wrapped and achy now–i’ll share my ice virtually with you though 🙂

    Round grids – extremely fun! Love the layout and the circles, love punching circles. I will NEED to get a square punch when i can find one! 🙂

    You’ve had such a tough year, Michelle, but look at these beauties! How do you do it? Glad to hear that your wrist is mending and the roses are blooming. These new stamps are amazing. I do have one teeny request on behalf of your Jewish friends. It is so hard to find anything for Jewish holidays, much less something that totally rocks like your artwork. Would you consider adding a couple of stamps for us?

    Can’t WAIT to get my hands on those stamps!! Can you tell us what size circle punches these work with?

    WANT! I love the circles! You are amazing. All of this work and with an injured wrist!
    Glad you’re enjoying summer and concerts and the World Cup. Like you, I have divided loyalties — US and Germany. Big day for both yesterday 🙂

    Your stamps are gorgeous and I know they will be a huge hit! Your journal page is inspiring me to open my journal and play.

    This is some serious circular wonderfulness!
    Spooky. I was just altering round tags and thinking how to layer them over the grid I made for the crusade. Nutty! The numbers are especially cool… I love how the double digits are staggered. YOU rock! And I hope your wrist eases up for you. Happy creations, tj in germany

    Fantastic, love all the circles ! And those stamps are just to die for … Hope I can get some too. Must have missed the thing with your wrist, but I do hope it will mend soon. Just aweful when you can’t use your hands properly when you’re into the drawing/painting 😉 I know, because I was recently diagnosed with arthritis, and in my hands and wrists it can be pretty bad sometimes ….

    Michelle – Love all the circles! Hope your wrist is better soon. Take care of it. I am back from vacation (oh so sweet, but short!) and will visit more often now!
