Hi There! I often spend some time between Christmas and new year tidying my desk, and putting all the christmas stamps back in their folders so I can find them again (I have in the past lost things at this time of year). Once the desk space was clear I decided to do a little bit if journaling to welcome in 2025. I don't do new years resolutions, but I do like to choose myself a word or two to focus on with a positive mindset. How about you? What do you do?
I began by blending distress oxides across the pages. I used Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Mermaid Lagoon and Wilted Violet.
Next, I placed the mandala inkables onto the page and blended Black Soot Distress Oxide through them. I was thinking of using the same inkable twice, but changed my mind and used a different one as you will see in the next photo.
Using an inkables skyline I added more Black Soot Distress oxide along the bottom of the page.
I then added a few light sprays of Distress spritz in Fossilized Amber, Worn Lipstick and weathered wood.
On a scrap of white card, I stamped the big numbers 2025 in Charming Pink Versafine Clair and cut them out.
Finally I added these to the page along with sone wordy stickers using matte medium.
Here is the finished (?) page again. I may well add some white pen before I put it away😂
I used:
A square 5 inch journal
Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Mermaid Lagoon, Wilted Violet and Black Soot.
Thanks for looking and I hope 2025 bring you joy and opportunities! I also hope you can treat yourself to something from the
Bee Crafty Twixmas sale which ends on 5th January!

What a great journal page and I love the colours Sally, just as though the sky is all lit up above the silhouette buildings, and the mandalas do the job brilliantly. Thank you for continuing to post here on a Wednesday, and I always look forward to seeing it. Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year and all the best to you and yours for 2025. x
