My Other Creations: Notebook using Dina Wakley's Be Willing Stamp set and Backgrounds Collage Paper

Our theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog this week is "Movie Inspiration."  I love the remake of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Ben Stiller and adorned my notebook with a quote connected to that film.  Seems to be a good concept for this crazy overwhelming time in our world, too.

I started with a piece of patterned paper (Reminiscence by Elizabeth Craft Designs) and smeared some acrylic paint onto it.  I dried it with a heat tool (cause I'm impatient like that), then I stamped some images onto it that are from Dina Wakley's Be Willing stamp set.

Next I added more paint in various colors and by using Water Soluble Oil Pastels.  I also stuck on a strip of Altenew's Positivity washi tape.

I felt like I needed more patterning in the background, so I grabbed Dina Wakley's Collage Paper Backgrounds (polka dots in this case), tore off a piece or two and glued them to my page.

I added more color, then cut a circle frame out of some scrap text paper and laid that on.  When everything looked good, I glued the components down, typed the "Rediscover Joy" sentiment on a typewriter and glued that on, too.  Then I sewed my collage onto the cover of a notebook and added a yellow rubber band to keep it securely closed.
