I'm shining a spotlight on the amazing Dina Wakley Media Journal over the next week. The journal has, bound right into the signatures, four surfaces to work on: kraft, handmade paper, thin canvas, and burlap. It should be shipping from the Ranger warehouse by mid-Feb.
First up in the spotlight: kraft! The weight of the kraft in the journal is lovely. It's heavy and a delight to work on. Sure, you can gesso it, but then you cover up all that glorious kraft color (though clear gesso is an option if you feel your work requires that under layer). My Acrylic Paints really pop on the background, and it makes a fun change from standard white or ivory.
At the trade show, Tim Holtz gave me some of his new Idea-ology Paper Dolls. Oh my. They are like Found Relatives, but they are die-cut out of the background so you just have the figure. I am a wee bit obsessed with them. Okay, more than a wee bit, as you can see in the pages below.
Products used in these pages: Idea-ology Paper Dolls, Dina Wakley Media Scribble Sticks, Dina Wakley Media Tape, Dina Wakley Media Acrylic paints, Fudeball black pen, white paint pen.
Oh my, each and everyone really rocks! When I saw you use the paper dolls the other day...I preordered 2 packs! I knew I had to have them. Shame on you...you enabler you!

Every single page/spread is amazing. I love how freely you are able to write on your pages. That's something that I still struggle with, but I'm hoping to improve this year. Love your color choices and the way you combine elements.

Hi Dina! I'm trying to decide if I want to order the paper dolls. Did you use these to make the blank silhouettes On your pages? I so, how? Do the dolls punch out and you are left with a stencil type space? Thanks!! Lisa Gallup
