Journal Page and Photographs

Hi All from a sunny and bright NE UK coast. Thank you for visiting today and for all the times you visit and bring a smile to my face.

I have made another page for Art Journal Journey and their Post and Postage theme for the month of July.

Nothing digital on this one for a change.

I had an A4 piece of paper with hand writing on it that I used for the background. The image in the centre is a Crafty Individuals stamp that I stamped on yellow card then coloured the poppies and bee with Sharpies. The stamps are for real and the bottom one I cut from a padded envelope so it stands out from the background as I couldn't get the bubbles off it. The hearts are die cuts and the letters from sheets I had printed out a long time ago. Not enough 'E's left so had to use an 'F' which doesn't look quite right. I used a stamp to fill in a few spaces.

We had a wonderful walk o on Thursday along a path we hadn't been along before. We didn't go all the way as it is the old railway track from Scarborough to Whitby and 22 miles long. We did do 12 miles over the day so plenty of walking for me in one day I reckon. Vic took lots of amazing photographs but I thought I would give you a taster with the start of the walk. If you ever want to try it you need to go through to the back of Sainsbury's car park and the path starts there.

 You go through the graffiti arches which are amazing if you like graffiti. I love it and so the start of this walk was pure magic for me.

 The walls all along are covered in wonderful 'art' and the sports court on the right also has walls covered as well. That's me in the distance drinking in the wonder of it all never guessing what was to come around the corner.

It was this scene! Lots more wonderful things along the way so will post some more pics another time.

Have a good day today. I am going for a long walk along the sea edge to get over Andy Murray loosing his semi final match yesterday. I know I should get a life but somethings are important and he should have won :(

Love Chrissie xx

    Love your postal page Chrissie - a brilliant way to use the CI stamp! I love to see graffiti art, unfortunately around Manchester it seems to be peppered with bad language and ' tags'! The tree arch looks fantastic! Have a good weekend, Chrisx

    Love your artwork Chrissie, and like a muppet I showed Neil the photographs of your walk. He's now decided that we need to do it my next Saturday off! I'll put my name down for a few miles, then hopefully there will be a bus lol. Hope you enjoyed the final yesterday, I must admit I was hoping Roger could win it one last time - maybe next year ... xx

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
