Journal Page

Hello Everyone and thank you for calling in. 

Nice of everyone to leave the comments about the missed bungalow you are so kind. We have  moved on in our thoughts and have new plans to mull over with lots of possibilities we hadn't thought of before. It is nice to have uncluttered everywhere and to have a new crafting space even though I can't find where anything is yet.

At Art Journal Journey the theme is Through My Window and at Moo Mania and More we are asked to use Black and White.

I painted the paper with Acrylic white to give it some body and texture. Then I used two lots of stamps that I hadn't used before one is by Technique Tuesday and the other by Prima. I highlighted parts of the stamping with black charcoal pencil and drew the hearts as well. The birds and the butterflies were rescued from past projects and the black ATC cards I have had for a while. I wrote on the title of the song by Beth Hart as it is one I listen to sometimes.

Hope to get messy again today though if the weather turns better we have plans to change some of our garden and make it easier to manage.

Have a great day all

Love Chrissie xx

    Wonderful page, Chrissie...and so true. Someone said a similar thing to me yesterday. Leave the past, and especially any of it's negative junk behind you, and press forward into positive, happy things...a new day, a new season, a new you! I'll back track to catch up a bit. Have a great day,

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
