September Rolodex Art Journal Pages

Here are some of my September Rolodex journal pages - better late than never! I fell off the wagon a few days in September due to some of my work and personal commitments, but managed to do a few duplicates some days to fill in and managed 28 pages for the 30 days.

Old stamped scrap embossed with multiple metallic embossing powders.
Thought the quote was great for first day of Sept.

August 2014 Rolodex-Card-a-Day Art Journaling

August was a good month! Despite the many birthday celebrations (my husband, daughter, son-in-law, daughter's boyfriend and myself all had birthdays within one week!) I managed to keep up with the Rolodex cards and finished one per day for a total of 31! I think that's a first. (Of course, I cheated a bit, doing a couple some days when I knew I was going to be busy or gone for other days. But, hey, they count, right?!)

So, without further ado, I present the August RCADs (Part 1).

This started out as a painty mess (see lower third) and kept getting worse with everything I added. Finally added pieces of collage sheet from Jodi Ohl and moved on
