Journal page and card

Hi All. Hope you week is going well and thank you for visiting my blog along the way

At Art Journal Journey there is still time to be inspired by a song hosted by Linda. Thank you for a great choice.

This will be my last page for this theme as I have lots to do this weekend. I have really enjoyed making my pages and seeing all the others as well.


These are some of the words from Beyond the Sea which has been sung by so many artist for years and years. I love to hear it as La Mer sung in French.
I used an old photograph that Vic took from his Uncle's window when the sun was going down over the houses opposite. I digitally painted on the sea and added an image of a cruise ship.
The original photograph


At Crafting by Design they have the theme Let's Hear it for the Boys and Men


My daughter gave me lots of kits she had bought from Create and Craft years ago. She also gave me precut cards and envelopes to fit as well as silver and gold card. I am working through them all to make cards for a charity she is involved in and they have a summer sale. Only about another 100 to go!
 I thought this would fit the theme nicely.

Have a nice day

Love Chrissie 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
