The next page i did was the 'Make a Funnel' Page. 

 I came up with this design myself and the first thing I did was customise the page.

This is the back of the page, I didn't colour the back of the funnel because the idea was the colours would run in the water and would be visible from the back.

I used masking tape to secure the funnel because it was easy to remove when the funnel was wet without ripping the paper.
 
I quickly filled the cup with water and tipped it away again to try an stop all the pen washing out completely. I kind of cheated and didn't drink from the funnel as I didn't fancy ink poisoning. 

I left it on the radiator to dry before sticking it back in.

Here is the front and back of that completed page.
I am not sure weather or not I should outline the circles with a black pen or if that will distract from the point of the page, thoughts would be highly appreciated xx 


So for my first page I wanted to start with something relatively simple, easy yet effective. "Climb up high, Drop the journal' seemed perfect.

Firstly I decided to customise the page, I had no idea what to do so i started to search online. I found many brilliant ideas but decided to copy one i found of Mario (Keith Pickering).

 My design was no where near as good as Keith and his Girlfriend's but I absolutely loved the idea. 
Next I had to drop the Journal so I threw it out of my bedroom window into the back garden. 

There was not too much damage as the impact of the fall was mostly taken by the back left corner of the book and spine.

Welcome.

So for a long time I have wanted to own a 'Wreck This Journal'. So finally the other day the inevitable  happened and I purchased one from my local Waterstones. I started to fill it in and realised how much I lack creativity! I started searching online for ideas and now my book is coming along great. I wanted to share it with everyone, so i created this blog. I have tried to blog before but have failed miserably, and I'm guessing this will too but its worth a shot. So welcome to WreckItJournal.Blogspot.com and i hope you enjoy. (please note because i have a huge lack of creativity i have 'borrowed' many ideas form around the internet and i will try to give credit where i can) THANKYOU xxx
