Journal Page and something a bit different

Hello Everyone from a sunny NE UK Coast.  Hope the weather is nice where you are and a big thank you for sharing your day with me by popping in to Jumbled Crafts.

At Art Journal Journey the theme is 'If Music be the Food of Love.' 


I love Shakespeare works so couldn't resist a digital page with the master himself centre stage. I also fused in a bit of Twelfth Night that inspired the theme for the challenge 

I have been making some more things for the CatS Protection where my daughter organizes events to raise funds.


These are a follow on from the spectacle wipe holders but much larger as they have two big tea sachets inside. My daughter got the tea sachets online so they weren't too expensive. I designed the holder which is very simple and all in one piece. Our old printer still had some ink left in so I used it all up printing the designs on the card. The card is only £1 for 15 sheets at The Works so not an expensive make at all.
If anyone is interesting in making any I will write a tutorial with the template etc. They would be nice as little gifts or for fund raising. I stuck little cat stickers on them as they are for the Cats Protection

Have a great day all.

    Gorgeous layers of images on your journal page Chrissie, it looks awesome.
    The tea bag holders are a great idea for raising money for charities. . I would definitely be interested in how you made them. I imagine they would be quite easy to post as a gift as well.

    I'm sadly not a fan of Shakespeare, but I'm definitely a fan of your lovely digital entry. This is superb.

    I really LOVE the tea bag holders, and I can see them selling quickly, too. Both Bleubeard and Squiggles give them two paws up and think they are the Cat's meow (couldn't help myself).

    Ah, well, there's a digi page to make me happy! Love the layering, with the characters just ghosted in from the great man's imagination.

    Love what you've been creating for the fundraising too - clever idea in a very good cause.

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
