CatchPhrase V - Z

CatchPhrase is a journaling challenge at Daisy Yellow. Tammy gave us 26 prompts to work in our own pace. Read all about this challenge at Daisy Yellow.

I finished CatchPhrase in the beginning of the month, but there was no time to take photos of the finished journal and blog about them. So here are the last pages and the finished book.

CatchPhrase V: concentric

CatchPhrase W: stripes

CatchPhrase X: Lemon/Lime

CatchPhrase Y: postcard
I found this postcard a few months ago in an old book at my parents’ house. It was sent to me in 1967!

CatchPhrase Z: stretched
Buiten spelen is Dutch for play outside.

On the last page I added an index with the prompts.

I’m happy with my first handbound book filled with pretty spreads!

CatchPhrase T & U

CatchPhrase is the new challenge at Daisy Yellow, perfect to keep the journaling-flow going after ICAD! Tammy gave us 26 prompts to work in your own pace. I planned to do a prompt every other day, so I have time to do some stitching on the other days. Read all about this challenge at Daisy Yellow.

It was a busy week, so I only had time for 2 promts. Prompt T is  space age. I made this collage on the day Cassini ended his mission.

Prompt U is synonyms. I used Dutch synonyms for see/look to practise my hand lettering.

CatchPhrase R & S

Prompt R is layers. I used a piece of handmade paper, 3 cards, a playing card, postage stamps and an ATC background. I received them in swaps over the years. There’s a video of this spread here.

I made a collage for prompt N: arrow.

Prompt O is postage, a great excuse to use some of the stamps I got from my DH.

Prompt P is mix tape. I made a collage with magazine clippings, stickers and music tape.

Prompt Q is tropical. I made another collage and used my hand carved fish stamp again.

 And a detail of prompt Q. I like making these faces!

Repeat/repeat/repeat is prompt J. I just repeated my interpretation of the repeat prompt from ICAD. It was fun to use the Universe tutorial again!

Symbols (or code) is prompt L. I made a yoga inspired collage.

Three words is prompt M. Houdt het simpel is Dutch for keep it simple.

To make sure I do all prompts I made my first handbound journal with enough pages to do 26 prompts. I watched a few YouTube videos with longstitch binding and gave it a try. I’m very happy with my first journal!

Weather was prompt A. I made a collage inspired by Teesha Moore and added a quote. It’s Dutch for

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass,

it’s about learning to dance in the rain.

Outline was prompt B. It reminded me of my Assisi embroidery, so I made an Assisi collage with a bold outline.

The Beatles was prompt C. At first I didn’t want to do Yellow Submarine, because I already did that in the 2015 Top2000 party. But I ended up using the same image in a different way. First I made a collage with watercolour paint, painted book pages, my hand carved stamp, ink and markers.

Then I cut it in pieces and made another collage with it in my CatchPhrase journal. It’s inspired by the work of Cecil Touchon.

Prompt D is The sea. I made a collage and used my hand carved stamp again.

Found poetry is prompt E. I made a colourful background and added my Dutch found poetry. It says:

The sun gives

3.1 million

square

meters

flowers.

That is

the new face of

having fun.

Prompt F is washi tape. To make it easier for me I used the word fiets, which is Dutch for bicycle.
