Quotes....


I love turning journal pages into fabric postcards. I really enjoy thinking of ways to substitute paper for fabric. The other challenge is finding quotes. The quote on the journal page is from the Theme song off the film "Lost Boys". The image I found on the Internet and I knew straight away they would work well together to create a journal page.   For the House fabric card I had several quotes in mind (home is where the heart is, home sweet home, an Englishman's home is his castle) but in the end I chose "it takes hands to build a house but a heart to make a home. However, sometimes I struggle with originality and I wonder if I'm looking for them in the wrong place? I google quotes, I look on pintrest and I find quotes from seeing other peoples journal pages. My favourite one this evening I found on the journal soup fb page "You are about to exceed the limits of my medication" it has tickled me and I can feel a new fabric card slowly evolving in my mind. So I'm off to grab the sketch book to get my idea down on paper.
