Alpha Challenge Letter C

Hello to my Friends and Followers and thank you for popping by and leaving such wonderful comments on my projects.

I made this page today for the Alpha, Dictionary Challenge at The Craft Barn. It is a wonderful challenge and I am sure I will look forward to making every one of the pages


I scanned the relevant pages from my dictionary as I was unable to find an old one. The word I chose for C is Carnival and it was the first word on the left hand page. The background is painted in various H20 colours and spritz with Cosmic glitter mist.

The stamps are 4 I have had for a while-they are made by Tabby Kat. I stamped 2 of them straight onto the pages and the others I had already stamped and coloured a while ago so I stuck them on.

Thank you for the challenge and for looking at my page

Love Chrissie xx

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery.
