I have heaps of memories lying on the floor, surrounded by paper, crayons and colouring pencils. I remember drawing and doodling big flowers and strange looking people. I would then spend ages cutting out my drawings and pasting them in a scrap book.
About the only thing that has changed, is I no longer lay on the floor to colour in.....it would take me too long to get up LOL.
I have never sat down and thought why I am drawn to weirdo arty images, doodling, fussy cutting and art journalling - seems the love started in my childhood.
Before I started, I put down a layer of gesso. The magic of gesso often means dodgy stamping or colouring can be wiped off with a damp cloth. These background pages were already done, this challenge inspired me to colour an A4 sheet, then cut it up and paste it in place.
I hope you get a chance to join in. Thank you for looking.

Oh, my goodness, what a beautiful memory, Susie! So, that is why you are such an incredible colorist! I love the big colorful flowers, young girl with a floral eye, and washi tape on your wonderful pages!

I adore your free spirited magical stuff Susie! I don't have that creativity in me but I sure love seeing it in others! Your little flower child is such a cutie!

Love your fun journal page. The flowers look like buttons and the Vera Lane cutie is wonderfully weird and artsy!! We may have been on different hemispheres, but we were side by side in spirit coloring our days away!!
