Journal Page

Hello Everyone from a wet and dull NE UK coast. It seems to have been wet and dull for weeks and I would love to see the sun again.

Great to see the beautiful entries for Art Journal Journey that are many and varied. Hope you will join in with the Winter Wonderland theme that I am hosting for Susi and Valerie.



This is a digital page and the background is one from the very talented Astrid. The link will take you to her freebies page and there are so many wonders to inspire you to make something. I added various things and changed it to black and white but most of the images were already on the page before I added anything at all. Thank you Astrid.

Hope your day is going well and thank you for calling in.

Love Chrissie xx

    Completely agree about the constant grim greyness - there have been occasional half hours where the sun has broken through (and I dash out to take project photos, sometimes with the rain still spattering down!) but it's starting to feel ridiculous.

    Love your wintry snowflake page - what a great saying, I've not heard that before (I shall take "snowflake" as an additional pseudonym when necessary) - and you've made lovely use of Astrid's background.

    Love these very geometric snowflakes and the super quote (with a very interesting font too). It's a lovely page.

    Chrissie, I love your quote and page. I wish for a few snowflakes...getting rain and dreary days. Two days of sunshine, though.

    Blessings,

    This is a beautiful challenge entry. I am no good with digital, so I am always in awe on anyone who understands it. I like the monochromatic aspect of it, too.

    I had NO idea the card I used on my AJJ entry was a Christmas rose. I'm so glad you told me, because I just liked the picture.

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.
