This is my go at this month's creative techniques challenge. I used the blending and sticker techniques. https://ozone.oscraps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21711

Journaling: Almost every day, Olivia comes home with scrunched up papers in her pockets. When I smooth those papers out, I usually find the beginnings of a story. She has a gift. If she knew I saved all those stories, shed be mad. She would tell me that I had done something wrong. But how can I throw them away or leave them to get lost in the jumble of our lives? I love reading these stories and, hopefully, someday Olivia will be happy that I saved them.

and here is part of one of the stories on the page: We gotta get going if we are gonna make it to the ravines, said a man called Will. Liz, his wife, pushed him back into the seat. I dont think youre going without me. Did you? She snickered. Her voice sounded all too smooth. Will gave a sarcastic grin, pushing her hand off his arched shoulder. He stood up and said, Yes. Liz narrowed her hazel brown eyes. She humphed and flipped her head around stomping out of the darkly lit room. The men laughed and Will held up a hand for silence. He cleared his throat and finished his speech. The men cheered. One man with a scar and olive skin gave a toothy smile. I will be guard. Several men argued. Holding up a hand, Will announced, Pack your things men, were heading out tonight, then left the room. He headed to the small cabin across the road. His leather boots softly crunched the leaves as he made his way across a tree covered highland. Hours seemed to go by before Will reached the cracked wooden door of his home. He walked in and packed his gear. Slapping the old green bag over his shoulder he stomped out the door. He trudged back to the gambling hall meeting up with the others.

Thanks for looking :)
Adryane, this is magical!!!! First, Ben and his music; now, Olivia and her writing! There is obviously no deficit of talent in that sweet family of yours!! LOVE the way Olivia can turn a phrase, such FABULOUS word pictures! Fantastic design, particularly the rough sticker work on the extraction of Olivia! Your talent knows no bounds ... nor do your offsprings' talent!
 
OMgosh she does have a gift! You must save them! thank goodness you can scan them in to save them - love how you made her photo a sticker! gorgeous page!
 
Oh, my! Generational talent in the arts abounds in your family, Adryane! SO glad you're saving those treasures! Olivia writes with rich imagination! Love the stories in warped frames!
 
Wow! I was so excited to read your page...but I had no idea how amazed I would be. What incredible talent. And I love the book mark in her book. How old is she? Amazing talent!
 
what fabulous writing! the girl who used to be my daughter wrote stuff like that when she was young. i hope O will be thrilled that you kept all these. i know i always loved reading TheStories way back when. beautiful page, too!
 
Great page! Love the techniques you used. Anna's warped frames go on my wish list. Love the red bookmark. Great job Olivia. Stories are magical things! Teaching emergent literacy has come so far in the last fifteen years. Big props to you and her teachers as well. How about a collaboration with you providing scrappy illustrations for her words?!? I always thought of doing that with my son but in reverse (me putting words to his drawings).
 
I am in awe of Miss O's writing talent! Her descriptive visuals have me right in the story with Will and Liz...and wanting to read more! What an amazing and creative family! Love your page...especially the bookmark!
 
Wow! The talent is in you all!! I can read/see your pride - and she deserves it!!
wonderful page. Is the bookmark in the picture, or is it 'digi-stash'?
 
Wow, I have no words, Adryane!!!!!! Your page is perfect, just P.E.R.F.E.C.T.!!!! It must be pinned!
