Wreck this Journal #4

First blog of my 19th year on the planet,

 I now have a better camera so quality on image's as of this blog will be  a lot higher! 

I haven't really had much time to do anything in my journal once again but I am getting the paint out this week and completing the pages that allows you to get messy, Actually excited to do the finger painting page if I'm honest!  Anyway here's my Wreck this Journal update ; 

Page 19 - press leaves and other found things.


this actually occured by accident I decided to make a circle of leaves, and it reminded me of jesus (sorry all you christians and catholics out there).


This is my Favourite page so far :
           Don't want to give it away tho D:

Page 43 - make a paper aeroplane.


Yeah that's an aeroplane stuck to paper...
I was actually devastated that I couldn't remember how to make one and failed miserably but after a master class off a close friend over skype pretty sure I'm good on the whole making a paper aeroplane again now!

page 90 & 91 - Trace the things in your bag (or pockets) let the lines overlap


Badly drawn Hello kitty overload with a sprinkle of tokidoki and a rubbish phone. This would be what I carry on me 90% of time, No idea why I had hello kitty mints in my bag at this particular time as I'm allergic to them ....

Page 82 - let a child loose on this page!


one of the pages I've added myself, so there aren't any blank pages in my Journal, I let my 6 year old twin sisters loose on this! so pleased they actually listened and didn't go crazy!

The Next instalment will probably be based on the pages that include paint and ink etc although many of the pages I started a while ago that ask you to collect or find stuff are coming along pretty quick now! I can't believe I've almost completed it! there are a few pages I'm terrified of doing so as the book says : 'instructions are open to interpretation' I'm trying to find a way around them! 

Wreck this Journal #3

so seems as my previous wreck this journal entries have gotten a response I wasn't expecting, Here's the third part of my wreck this journal Journey. I have to admit some of the posts In this blog are a little disappointing to the perfectionist inside of me but the whole point of 'wreck this journal' is to test yourself as well as the book and see how far your creativity will take you. so here we go: 

Pages 158 & 159 - Glue a page from a magazine, circle words you like.


so I demolished my Company magazines and ended up with this; So clearly the page has the Beautiful Lily Allen and Rihanna but the main focus was the Zooey deschanel Interview from company <3

'Make Tea not war'

Pages 24 & 25 -

Scribble wildly, violently with reckless abandon. 

Says what it is on the tin, scribble.. scribble. 

Pages 4 & 5 - stand here, wipe your feet. 

Yeah I actually hate feet and I hate this page! but yeah, wiped my Vans on here before i ended up with this can obviously see the damage they created? no. 

Page 29 -Glue, staple, or tape these pages together. 

Pointless placing of this page next to the tear strips, rip it up page really isn't it? 

Page 27 Tear strips, rip it up. 

Page before the last entry see the problem now? completed this at stupid o'clock in the morning hence the little imagination. Might redo this page eventually! 

so yeah part three and hopefully the worst entry of this series! Really need to get my creative flow going again to make the journal the best it can be... before I destroy it by taking it in the shower. (maybe). there should be an update within the few days along with a small update on 'this is not a book' because I can't even explain how disappointed I was with it! but I will complete it, just not document it like this! 

Wreck this Journal #1

So I finally own 
'Wreck this journal' - Keri Smith 

and it now looks like I'll have to buy every book in the series cause I'm hooked!!

I love being creative but my perfectionism gets in the way! this book is trailing and testing that to the limit, but I am enjoying every second of it!

If you tend to have a lot of time on your hands and need something to occupy you i highly recommend this book!



Page 127 - Trace your Hand!

As you can see my fingers are tiny!
one of the first pages i completed tempted to colour this in.we shall see what happens!

Page 157 - A page for four letter words!

this page actually drove me insane! the larger words fine but the miniature red words were a different story this page took up to 2 hours almost!

Page 41 - Tear out, crumple

Now for my inner perfectionist this was hard! but I'm really glad of the way it looks now my journals started to look a bit battered now! proves it's loved right? :)

Page 177 - Close the journal, write/scribble something on the edges.

So the outside of my journal is the same colours as the ones shown here! wanted it to be pretty and couldn't decide on what to write!







so that's the beginning of my 'wreck this journal' Journey current pages that are in progress are 'collect fruit stickers here', 'draw fat lines and thin' and 'collect stamps off all your mail' really excited to see the end product of this and will update again once 3 - 4 more pages are complete! <3
