Collage and card

Hi All. Hope you are well and happy and enjoy what you find here at Jumbled Crafts today. I always appreciated a visit and the wonderful comments that are left on my posts--thank you :)

This week at Collage Obsession the theme is handwriting. I can't imagine doing that these days. I either print or do scribble that no one else can read. 65 years ago I won a pen because my handwriting was so beautiful-how times change eh? We used to have handwriting lessons in the olden days :)

With that in mind I did this digital collage then printed it out and did some of my printing and a tiny bit of my hand writing

I would like to enter this at Try It On Tuesday as well



The Craft Room Challenge this time to a colour challenge with a beautiful photograph and colour pallet as inspiration

Here is the card I made using the colours and part of the image


I made two background papers using the colours the digitised part of the picture to make a topper for my card.


These are the papers if you would like them--they both fit onto an A4 sheet of paper.

Have a great day everyone

Love Chrissie x

    Love all that amazing script in your handwriting piece - and the globe is fabulous! I'm very sad about the demise of handwriting - I think you have a different relationship with a word when you shape it cursively with your hand than when you tap it into a computer and all letters are completely the same. Can also remember handwriting practice with specially lined paper - sorry, you've tapped into one of my little obsessions!

    Beautiful spring colours in your digi-papers, and thank you for offering them up so generously.

    Have a lovely weekend!

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
