Here is the challenge for this week.   If you'd like to check out what the rest of the design team have created, HERE is the link.You have until 24th Nov the to play along if you'd like to join in.
Many old papers were used on this page, mostly Kaisercraft. It’s always good to use up the stash. I struggled a bit with the purple...it’s not something I am drawn to and always admire what other artists do with it.

THE JOURNALLING READS
Once upon a time there was a little boy who was dreamed about becoming a big boy and celebrating his Birthday.  He had watched others  enjoy their birthdays and he was longing to have candles on a cake of his own. He also loved the film Toy Story.  When he opened one of his parcels and found the wings for Buzz Lightyear, his joy bubbled up like a fountain. He flew up and down the corridor, lights flashing, wings flapping, with his face absolutely beaming.  What a special day.
