Sweet Wreckage!

It's week three of Jamie Ridler's Next Chapter Book Club of Wreck This Journal, and I can already see we are a whole new group of people!

The fun is permeating this wrecking crew and gleeful, wicked laughter can be heard worldwide. It's not only the sweet sensation of throwing taboo out the window along with the journal, it's incredibly exhilarating to watch what devastation my fellow bloggers are up to!

Here's what my journal is looking like this week.



It can't stay closed. Its cover is bend and the spine barely holding on. Of course it looks pristine compared to others' journals but I'm trying to do the internal wrecking first before I go for the gusto! :)

I marked it though :)

I chewed on it! More chewing will ensue... :)


I poked holes!


I made ugly lines!


I scratched it!







I drew circles...













I burned it!


I spilled coffee all over it! You can see the ashes from the burning stuck to this page!
And the eye peeking out from the burned page :)
The spillage on the right reminds me of a heart! Whoop :)



I drew ugly things in it :)



I stapled white things in it, purposely not making it neat :)



I defied the rules!


And last but not least...



I embellished it! :)

If you haven't joined, what are you waiting for? It's never too late :)

I still have to chew my page, but now there's gross oil/old BBQ sauce that has bled over from the Document Your Dinner page before it! Unless that'll give it some flavor. Hm.....

Great wrecking this week, Genie!

I saw that journal at Barnes and Noble yesterday. I almost bought it, but....I'm glad to see that you are having fun with it. It sure looks like you are!!

The Other Laura said...

I love your coffee spill. It DOES look a little like a heart, and a little like a treasure map!

Kavindra said...

Ooh I love how the burned page and the beautiful face are interacting in the destruction and rising like a phoenix into something unexpected. And your coffee spill! Gorgeous ... how do you get it to be so artful and interesting? Really cool journal.

Lesley Myrick said...

Hehehe...I like your embellishments. :)

nadia said...

your journal is just bulging with creative stuff. I love the ugly page and the fruit page. such fun! ciao!

Kate said...

You definetly will need to drive over it. If you don't have a puddle of water then just use a water bottle and make one. I think its looking at the tread on your page that is the cool part.

Pink Heels said...

Wow! You really accomplish a lot within a week! My favorite, thus far, has to be your version of the cracked spine! Rule breaker!!! LOL

Kim said...

Cool! I like the face you made from the burn page! Wrecking leading to creating!! FABULOUS!

Dawn said...

Ok, I love that whole burned out face with the coffed drips combo thing you have going on...very awesome! So much fun!

Gretchen Wegner said...

I love all your pictures!! You got busy. I think I'll steal your idea, and post a ton of pics of all the small things I've done. My favorite is actually how you traced the coffee stain... Goooooooo genie!!

Heather Plett said...

I love how you're making art out of the wreckage. Well done.

Ooh! This looks GREAT! I am anxious to wreck more...My book is still a little too pristine for my taste. :)

creativehealinggoddess said...

I love you book, I love it !!!!

Lisa PN said...

Wow,
I better get at it! I think that somehow i have done the big destructive things first and then decided to do the lovely fun things...wonder why that is!

Thanks for the inspiration. Wonderful for sure!

The Bodhi Chicklet said...

You were a one-woman wrecking crew this week! Good idea to get some of the inside jobs done before it becomes impossible to work in. I've held back at rubbing food in it or spitting in it. For now, anyway.
