Japanese theme digital Page

Hi All. Beautiful morning here and no wind for a change so we are going to the car boot sale later to see what bargains there are to be had. Last time we went we bought an unused foot spa/massager for £3 and it has had lots of use already. Thank you for calling in and big welcome to my latest follower.

Today I have a fusion journal page using a photograph of ours and also a photograph of part of a cross stitch picture my daughter did years ago.

It is for Art Journal Journey where the theme for June is Masculine/Feminine and for Moo Mania and More where Anything goes. Hope to see you at both.

Lots of effects and jiggery pokery in Paint Shop Pro.

This was part of a large tapestry-one of many that my daughter did years ago when she was a cross stitch addict. Pleased to say she has recovered but is now a patchwork and fancy cake making addict--two for the price of one.;0)
Difficult to show all the little cross stitches



The photograph was taken in Peasholme Park in Scarborough. They always have a Japanese theme there and this round arch was right on top of a hill above the boating lake. Sorry you can no longer go to see it because of all the health and safety rules that have stopped us enjoying a lot of the life we used to lead. Whoops I almost fell of my soap box then.

Have a great day and I hope the sun is shining where you are

Love Chrissie xx

    I love Asia and what you did here to combine the wonderful cross stitched piece from your dauhter with one of your own photos is magical Chrissie! Your daughter was and is as creative as you are it seems!
    Good luck for the sale!
    Thank you so much for being with us at AJJ and MM&M Chrissie!

    Chrissie, firstly I am honoured you want to save some of my sentiments, it's a pleasure and hope you can do it anytime you feel inspired. That's what this is all about. Not about winning a prize in a challenge but winning the love and compassion of blogging friends like you and sharing what we have. Love the Japanese theme and love the tapestry your daughter made, its an art in itself and LOVE your page, a great work of art....xx{aNNie My Personal Blog}

    Love how you matched the colours of the scene with the colours in the tapestry, it works very well as a whole and the feel is definitely oriental.

T is for Tag Tuesday and Inchie

Hello Friends and Followers. Nice to have you pop in today and thank you for your visit. At Tag Tuesday this time Wilma our teamie has chosen Cake as the theme I went straight out of the cake tin and into a Goth Wedding where the couple can't decided which cake to choose for the happy day. We have seen a few Goth Weddings when we have visited Whitby and they are terrific events with wonderful costumes worn by all. Vic isn't keen on me taking photographs of the Goths though I am sure they wouldn't mind. If you dress as they do I would think you crave attention. Their clothes and make-up are amazing. At Every Inchie Monday this week the theme the animal Fly As I have only being the heads of all the animal inchies this year I found a drawing of a fly's head--yuk. The colour choices are mine and may not be real Happy T Day if you have arrived from Altered Book Lover blog where Elizabeth and Bluebeard invite everyone to join in on Tuesday with a drink related post- or par...

T stands for inchie and tag

Hi All and a happy new week. Thank you for popping in at Jumbled Crafts. Happy T Day to my friends from Elizabeth and Bluebeard's Tuesday get together. Happy 4th Anniversay to their T a Day posts. This week we haven't been far at all as we both like watching Wimbledon so have stayed home and just had a short walk somewhere in the morning. Short walk meaning 10,000 steps if possible  This is my meal in a bowl and a drink. It is quick to make and means I can nibble at it with a fork and watch television with a nice cup of tea. It is a tuna salad with grapes. I was going to be really clever this week and make a tea cup and saucer with beautiful additions. This came about because I decided to clear out lots of old folders on my computer and this project was in one of them I made the cup ok, then thought WHY? It may or not get finished. The picture in the cup is how it should look. This week at Every Inchie Monday we have Buffalo as the theme I used an outline found on Google, made...

Hello Everyone and thank you for the wonderful comments you left while I was away. I did have internet a few times but not for very long so I haven't been able to do my usual blog rounds. I will be back to normal now and look forward to seeing your makes. At Tag Tuesday dear Wendy chose Textures as her theme and it is going well. You still have a few days left to join us there with your textured tag so I hope to see your makes This tag is made of fabric that has metal drops on it. Haven't a clue how they do that but it was from quite a nice old tee shirt that I cut up. I used a plastic doillie and a metal adornment from a belt as well. Go Tag Thursday has Star or Stars as the theme for this week. Good to see more people joining in there as well. A bit of a tag revival going on I think. This is a digital tag with free to use tattoo designs and a background I made in Paint Shop Pro. At Art Journal Journey the theme chosen by Rosie is circles and runs until the end of the mon...
