Is it Elegance or Grunge?
I
t may even be both - either way it is my latest page for Gill's theme at Art Journal Journey 'Elegance and Grunge'!
A Paper Artsy Infusions background (you know I love these!)some stencilling, stamping, spattering and lots of bits from one of my scrap bags! The leaf is from Lin Brown's set ELB29
The quote - from the well known song Dream the Impossible Dream sums up my unfulfilled dream to be a ballet dancer.(It was never going to happen!)
I would also like to enter this page in the challenge at A Vintage Journey - for Jenny's choice of theme Use a Quote.
Thanks for looking, Chris

This is so romantic and so BEAUTIFUL Chris! I am sorry to hear that you dream was unfulfilled -
but I guess the unfulfilled dreams are the best ones!!!
Thank you very much for yet another fantastic page to Gill's theme!
Happy weekend to you!

I can see you being a ballet dancer. OK, I have a very vivid imagination.
This is a beautiful entry, and I personally think it looks more like elegance than grunge. I love the lace and swirly cardboard.
How very charming page. Love the soft beautiful colours and your composition is fabulous.
Happy Mother's Day and weekend xx
Wonderful journal page, love the depth you have managed to get in it. I tried Ballet lessons but very quickly realised I had two left feet lol.

You have created such a pretty vintage look, there is so much beautiful detail with the stencilling, stamping, spatters and bits 😊. I love the song you used and the story behind your page - perfect! I'm going to be singing that all day now ... lol! Happy Friday and have a great weekend! J 😀
What a wonderful page! I love that song, too. Hugs, Valerie
Yes - so elegant and grungy ( a beautiful grunginess )and isn't that lace lovely - I love this Chris - thanks for another fantastic page for AJJ.

I think many girls would like to be a dancer, Your journal page looks fabulous and everyone should have a dream.

Such a terrific page well thought out for sure. The background is great and the dresses as a centre piece look just right
Love Chrissie xx
That's a good question. Its a gorgeous page though Chris. Hugs-Erika
Definitely a bit of both and beautifully put together. Have a great weekend xxx
I agree, both. Lovely page and pretty elements.
I think it's definitely both - it's also incredibly beautiful - probably a new favourite for me.

Fabulous journal page! I love your quote and the image! Ha! Ha! I love your dream...it's good to have them. 'A goal without a plan is just a dream' I was always told, and my dream (shhhh, don't tell anyone!) was to run in the Olympics! Didn't happen! Thank you for sharing this with us at A Vintage Journey for our Use a Quote challenge! Hugs!
A lovely journal page of your dream! Wonderful layering of lace, cardboard and images! Thanks for joining us in the A Vintage Journey Quote challenge (again!) Julia xx
