The House of Bears

Hello to everyone who drops by Jumbled Crafts-hope your day is going well

I love the Jane Austen quotes challenges at The House of Bears and this is my take on one from this month's list


Not a pretty page-sorry bears. I did the background with distressed inks and a blob of something that just appeared from nowhere--honest. The images were all ones I found on the net.

Love Chrissie x

    Oh we love this, the pages are fab with the quote and we have a sneaky feeling this may be the most used of this month's quotes. We like all the images you've used to represent the quote. Fab work and thank you so much for joining with us again.

    Fabulous page! I agree with the quote - my hubby is poorly at the moment and my neighbours on both sides texted after a few days when they noticed his car hadn't moved. They wanted to check we were ok. It was lovely to know they cared! xx

    Your page was saved and looks great. I know how you feel, though, once I got chocolate smudge on one of my Knittington Fairy designs...don't ask. It was tramatic, indeed.

    Sending love and hugs,

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
