I am probably one of the biggest fans of Outsider Artists. As a tribute to their talent and generosity in sharing their amazing images, I have lovingly created these "Twilight Journals" to share during Vanessa's "Hauntingly Magical Halloween Celebration" today.
The stunning blue "Bella Vision" portrait was created by Becky Loyall of Whymsical Musings. She has generously shared this 300 dpi picture on her blog. The other three brilliant images were digitally created by Deborah Bohm of Outsider Artists and can be purchased through Deborah Dare Art by email.
I printed all of these images on matte photo paper for sturdiness, a sharper image, and then covered my composition book. I was imagining all the wonderful things I could create with these special photos. Thank you so much, Becky and Deborah. I have become quite attached to the Twilight saga, and am visualizing other magical projects using them.
Tomorrow Never Knows
Turn off your mind relax and float
down-stream.
It is not dying, it is not dying,
lay down all thought surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.
That you may see the meaning of within,
It is speaking, it is speaking,
that love is all and love is everyone,
It is knowing, it is knowing.
When ignorance and haste may mourn
the dead,
It is believing, it is believing.
But listen to the color of your dreams,
It is not living, it is not living.
Or play the game existence to the end.
Of the beginning, of the beginning.
Of the beginning, of the beginning.
~The Beatles "Songbook"

Love your layout, and your art is amazing. Thank you so much for inviting me to your party!
Lovin the little black top hat charm. Where ever did you find it? Are these the larger journals? I was okay with the Twilight movie, but am loving the "Vampire Diaries" on the CW. I would like to put those Salvatore brothers on a journal.......

Dear Mistress Nancy....
Thank you ever so for the kind invitation to your most eerie Halloween party.How kind of you to invite my to your lovely Halloween party. I did so have a wonderful time!
Please accept my humble apologies for joining your party so late. You see... I was traveling home from New York on Saturday and had no computer access. Now I'm playing catch-up and visiting all of Vanessa's wonderful parties.
Thank you so much for flying over to Casa Hice on your broomstick and leaving your little petite witchy footprints on my welcome mat. I hope you will come again, as the door is always open.
And now, I must away and subscribe to your enchanting blog with haste!
Happy Halloween!
Sorry I'm late to the party, there is just too many wonderful things to see!!
Your journals look amazing.
Happy Haunting!
