Journal Page

Hello Everyone and welcome to Jumbled Crafts. Always nice to have you call in, thank you.

I love the beginning of the month and all the new challenges on my favourite challenge blogs.

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

Before I show my first page for this I would like to show you a collage of my  pages for AJJ last month

It was a fun month as the theme said no leaves, no faces and no wings and I seem to have included those on a lot of my work without even realising that I had. I did put that right though and had fun doing it.


This is definitely mixed media as I used as my background a picture I painted in 2004. I changed a photograph of the painting in Paint Shop Pro for this challenge by adding various effects

Original painting-looks like a glass lighthouse?

Have a great day all

Love Chrissie xx

    Love you collage-collage, good to see them all together, and your lighthouse piece is fantastic, as is the original painting. Love the quote, too. Thanks so much for joining us at AJJ again, hugs, Valerie

    Great AJJ page. I LOVE the quote. I think a lighthouse was a good choice to match it. And your collage is a lot of fun to see those pieces again. HUgs-Erika

    You had a great month at AJJ and I applaud you. It was fun to see everything you came up with.

    Your first AJJ entry this month is wonderful. The fact you used your own painting is AWESOME. Gotta love it because it shows how very, very talented you are.

    Your collage is a fine idea! Yes it was really funny to realize how often we use leaves ... in our works.
    The light reflexes in your December-piece are stunning! Very clever digital work! But your original painting I like too!

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...
