Journal page and tag

Hello All. Hope your weekend is going well. Thank you for calling in today. I have been doing a lot of sport watching as usual and the snooker final is on the list for this afternoon.


Art Journal Journey  their challenge for December was chosen by dear Valerie and her theme this time is Light and Darkness



I painted a background then scanned it and added some digital effects. Nice way to be able to use painted backgrounds often instead of just once.

Go Tag Thursday has Christmas Trees or Trees for their theme this week and also I am going to enter this at Dragon's Lair Designs where the theme for December is Christmas Wishes

 For the tree shape I folded circles and put them inside each other and the wooden one I painted and added glitter.

Hope you have a great day

Love Chrissie xx

    Love your ghost ship, it has the most marvellous background, the paint texture is awesome, difficult to believe it's digital! Great shape for your Christmas card too...

    Your tag was amazing. I was inspired by the trees, and may have to steal (OOPS, I mean BORROW) that idea. I have a punch and I have paper. Thanks for the idea.

    As always, you come through with AJJ pages, too. This one is fantastic.

Map and Card

Thank you for joining me at Jumbled Crafts where I have a couple of projects to show you today. At Art Journal Journey they still have Maps as their theme until the end of the month so hope to see your makes for there I took a bit of the map of our seafront and added a bit of a photograph by Valerie- she takes wonderful photographs of so many birds as well as many other things of interest. I thought of a bird's eye view and how nice it would be if the birds could know where it is safe and where they can get food.' I know I am mad as a box of frogs but I enjoy myself ' :)) At  City Crafters Challenge Blog  this week they have a photograph to inspire us and also the theme White and Bright The photograph for inspiration I took a small portion of the photograph and made a background then added a tulip image and a fancy edging in Paint Shop Pro. A plain and simple card for my stash. Have a lovely day everyone and don't forget to vote if you are in the UK Love Chrissie xx

T is for Tag Tuesday and Inchie

Hello Friends and Followers. Nice to have you pop in today and thank you for your visit. At Tag Tuesday this time Wilma our teamie has chosen Cake as the theme I went straight out of the cake tin and into a Goth Wedding where the couple can't decided which cake to choose for the happy day. We have seen a few Goth Weddings when we have visited Whitby and they are terrific events with wonderful costumes worn by all. Vic isn't keen on me taking photographs of the Goths though I am sure they wouldn't mind. If you dress as they do I would think you crave attention. Their clothes and make-up are amazing. At Every Inchie Monday this week the theme the animal Fly As I have only being the heads of all the animal inchies this year I found a drawing of a fly's head--yuk. The colour choices are mine and may not be real Happy T Day if you have arrived from Altered Book Lover blog where Elizabeth and Bluebeard invite everyone to join in on Tuesday with a drink related post- or par...

T stands for inchie and tag

Hi All and a happy new week. Thank you for popping in at Jumbled Crafts. Happy T Day to my friends from Elizabeth and Bluebeard's Tuesday get together. Happy 4th Anniversay to their T a Day posts. This week we haven't been far at all as we both like watching Wimbledon so have stayed home and just had a short walk somewhere in the morning. Short walk meaning 10,000 steps if possible  This is my meal in a bowl and a drink. It is quick to make and means I can nibble at it with a fork and watch television with a nice cup of tea. It is a tuna salad with grapes. I was going to be really clever this week and make a tea cup and saucer with beautiful additions. This came about because I decided to clear out lots of old folders on my computer and this project was in one of them I made the cup ok, then thought WHY? It may or not get finished. The picture in the cup is how it should look. This week at Every Inchie Monday we have Buffalo as the theme I used an outline found on Google, made...
