Challenge 59 Out of a Hat

Hello Everyone and welcome to Jumbled Crafts for the weekly project posting for the Out of a Hat Challenge.

 This week the challenge is to make a Postcard from France. I see lots of wonderful postcards made by other crafters but I must admit I find them difficult to make and this week I had to resort to some digital work in Paint Shop Pro to help me along the way. I do enjoy dabbling in PSP anyway so it definitely wasn't a chore :)



The background is 2 fused images of different french lifestyles-Paris and a small village. I stamped in the Fleur de Lis and stuck on images I found online. That's about really.


'Nothing is real but dreams and love', from Le Coeur innombrable, IV, Chanson du temps opportun by Anna de Noailles. -this is the quote translated.


Hope to some of you will join in and show what you can make.

Do visit Von, Janet and Sandra and see their makes as well.

Love Chrissie xx

    This is terrific, Chrissie. I have to admit I thought the postcard would be easy but found myself struggling to come up with something I liked. Harder than I thought. Hope you're enjoying your trip! Hugs, Tracy

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. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
