Altered diary cover and Long Matchbox

Well I have had time to be creative today, actually I have been pouring my thoughts into my diary so decided it needed to be covered cause it was just an ugly looking notebook, so I have used gesso, distress inks, tissue paper which I have stamped my images on and then added them on with gel medium its very plain and barren but  I don't want it to look to clustered as my mind is busy enough...I actually want to be able to write in it and not get distracted...

The next thing I have done is an altered long matchbox I haven't altered one of these before and I still have an embellishment to put on but it's still drying so this is still a work in progess, I'm organizing a swap over at ARTISTIC document so wanted to get the girls motivated with what can look like.......

Well that's about it for me for today, now I'm off to spend some time with the family....

Hi Maria, I love them both. I love diaries, but I can never think what to write ... that's why I struggle with the BOM, just can't think about myself.
