Out of a Hat Challenge 61

Hello Everyone who pops in to Jumbled Crafts . This is a scheduled post as I am not really around this week. Fingers crossed that it all goes well as I won't be able to fix it until Sunday if it doesn't. That's just me talking to myself as if it doesn't go right you won't see this post anyway :(

This week at Out of a Hat the challenge is to use a photograph somewhere on the project you make.

This is what I made. A journal with empty pages so far. Just corrugated carboard , a couple of jigsaw pieces and some dyed lace to cover the Bind-it-all stuff.

I started out with this photograph that Vic took in our garden

Then I played about with it in Paint Shop Pro and ended up with this design. Oh dear it's up side down.


Then it turned into a postcard before becoming part of the journal front.

Do pop to see what Von, Janet and Sandra have made and hope you will say hello if you have time

Hope your week is going well

Chrissie x

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. 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
