Just be you for AJJ


'Collage-with some journalling, '  is the theme for December over at


Its a good way to use up some collected bits and pieces that lurk on the craft desk. I had a couple of leaves cut from hand made paper, so they got another coat of ink. The bird  just needed to be fussy cut and the image  had  need of some paint. Both are Dina Wakley images.
The background page had been done for a while, I changed my mind at the time as I wasn't happy with the pink shades. 
I used stamps and an alphabet stencil for the words.



Thank you for calling to see me today,
 I always appreciate the comments you leave for me

  1. Your scraps are a lot prettier than my scraps, Yvonne. And your collaged spread is fantastic. Of course, I love birds, so that darling bird caught my eye right away. This is a wonderful collaged entry.

  12. This is a new favourite for me, Yvonne - something about it just sings to me. I love the deep colour of the girl's dress echoed by the paler tones of the sky, and the words, the bird, the mill, the greenery - it all adds up to something really soulful and really beautiful.
