Reasons to be cheerful part..........?

What's rocking my world this friday????
I had real fun making this front page for my art journal#2, after finding my home decor sponge stamps earlier this week :D. I stamped the bee onto paterned paper and then zen doodled it, great fun on a grey rainy day!( I luuuuurve buzzy bees :D)

This is the layout form last nights scrapbook class at Craftden, the pic is "Chunky Monkey" laughing his self silly, I think his dad was pulling faces, but I can still hear him laughing whenever I look at this pic :D
And this is my journal page for this week. Darcy gave us the word ILLUMINATE= to give knowledge to...
I always associate that word with studious monks, lovingly decorating manuscript (my perfect lifestyle choice, art and rare books....mmmmmmm...)

And finding a new challenge starting up this week for Journal pages!!! Check out Dawns Journal Journeys challenge and find some extra inspiration :D
Thank you to my Butterfly Bush, for flowering beautifully, even though the weather has been so strange, and the weather for providing some of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen :D
I'd also like to take this oppurtunity to say thank you to June Mac at Dezinaworld, who 1st inspired me to have a go at collage work, and is such a generous loving person :D
