I’m back with some journal pages to share. It felt so good today to do these pages. It’s been weeks since I’ve done anything creative. Well, if you count the disaster with soldering the Lucy slides it’s been a few days but that was so sad and disappointing I do not want to talk about it right now.
I will share on that when I get the proper materials to work with.
Onto the journal pages. I used Utee for the first time and I really like it. You can’t really see the Utee in the left corner, maybe if you zoom in you can see it. I layered it 3 times and then cracked it which was a bit difficult as I used my heat gun and Utee went flying everywhere. As a matter of fact I think I might have some in my bra. *ITCH

Here’s a close up of some embossing with the utee. I also found some text in a thrift store book that I added regarding the author’s mother’s work being her family. I thought it fit as my Mom was a homemaker and made things so special. I embossed a one of my favorite stamps, the lady eyes in the right corner. 
This close up is of me and my sister Carol. I’m on the left. I look at these pictures and laugh at the clothes. Not the dress as I Loved that party dress. It had a peachy skirt and the top of it if memory serves was lacey. But I do laugh at the polyester pants and tops on the other page. Carol and I are two years apart and my mother loved to dress us alike as most moms did back in the day. 
I’ll share more as I create. I hope everyone is having a creative and artful Monday. I big thanks to everyone who sent me well wishes and prayed for me while I was sick. I’m so glad that is over with! Until next time…….. *kiss kiss *hug hug

Love the pages. I have been working with UTEE on a piece also and I have found that if you take a clear embossing pad, invert it and pat it down over the area you are working on that the UTEE will stick to it and not blow around so much. You have to do it for each layer, but it has been working for me. Don’t forget what I said about the copper tape, either. Hugs. Susan
