Scrapbook Page

Hello Everyone who calls in and thank you for visiting Jumbled Crafts

Today is the half way point in our Create a Scene Challenge at Try it on Tuesday and the top 5 for the Layers challenge are posted as well so hope you will join in with us in the next week.

At Stamps and Stencils the theme this time is Remember, Remember and I am sure that none of us will ever forget the awful happenings in Paris.

My thoughts turned to 1947 where life still carried on for us after the awful events just before.


Difficult to get a good photograph of this scrapbook page as the weather is dull and dark again today. When I was about 5 years old we used to go every Sunday in summer to watch my dad play cricket for a little known local team. My aunt in the middle is now 90 and found this photograph among some she was sorting out. Looks like our family formed most of the supporters but they were very happy times and I went until I was about 11 years old. We were a very sporting family and I still love watching sport and would love to play if my knees weren't so painful
This is a clearer version of the photograph and I have highlighted my family. The names are all above their heads.

Hope you have a great day

Love Chrissie xx

    This is a great page to preserve this wonderful memory. Love how you kept it clean and simple with just a bit of stamping so the fabulous photo could be centre stage. Thanks for joining us at Stamps and Stencils.

    A beautiful, thoughtful way to remember both those who died and the need to carry on with our lives and loves. Your page is charming - framing that wonderful photo so gently and natural.

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
