[This is how the journal page , you can see in my TioT's post later today was finished.]
But I will start by saying Hello to all the folk from....
................and friends who call in to share a cuppa today.
Happy New Year wishes to you all,
I was using Napkins for my DT project and as there were 4 lovely deer images to each napkin ,
I decided to use one to make a page in the journal.
For sure there was cuppa, close to hand as I got started with the stencils and the vintage Photo distress ink .
At this stage I wasn't too sure about how I wanted it to look, so after the photo was taken I went off to the computer for a bit of digital inspiration, also to add a few word..
Yes, by now the tea was stone cold, but habit had me take to cup with me.
A year ago if anyone asked me about digital crafting,
I think I would have said, I wasn't happy with how it worked for me.
But, months later, I have to tell you that. I did try,
I got out of my comfort zone and now, thoroughly enjoy creating digital pieces.
On the days when my hands declare they won't grip stuff.
I can count on a couple of the fingers still willing to press the keyboard
and move the mouse on the computer.
and move the mouse on the computer.
So, note to self, I will remember, it will never work, if you don't keep trying..
Happy Tea Day.
For digital information
see note in my sidebar.
Wonderful journal page, and wise words. I am happy too that I can still create digitally although my hands don't always cooperate for other things. Happy T Day, hugs, Valere
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful page!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day Yvonne!

I can truly relate to hands not able to grip. That's yet another reason why I need to learn to use my digital software. I think this is brilliant. Your words of wisdom, both on the page and part of your blog post, speak volumes. Of course, I can relate to cold tea, as I can to cold coffee. Your lovely journal page goes so well with your cold tea that you shared with us for T this Tuesday. You have put into words what I often feel, but am unable to attain.
ReplyDeleteThis page is truly beautiful! I love the words you added. I am lucky that at the moment I only have arthritis in my toes (although this can cause problems on long walks) The cold tea?….substitute that for coffee…yes I do know all about that!! Happy T Day! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your hybrid pages. It's good to have a secondary way of creating, and your practice always pays off!
ReplyDeleteNice! I love your hybrid pages and this one is no exception. Those deer give the page a beautiful wintery. Happy T day. Love your bird cup too. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteYes, that is so true. I need to be reminded to get out of my comfort zone. I used to be very adventurous, but since I retired I prefer familiar things. You have reminded me that there is a world of different things out there. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful page though with the deer.
Happy New Year and happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Beautiful page Yvonne, and wise words to remember too. I must also remember the new theme for TioT as i have tons of napkins to play with :) Happy T day!
ReplyDeletewonderful journaling ... and so good you stepped out of your comfort Zone and learned digitally working!
ReplyDeletehappy t-day and a healthy new year!!
Beautiful journal page Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteWise words too.
Brings to mind the old saying: Nothing ventured...nothing gained.
Napkins are great collage ingredients and your deer is gorgeous.
Happy First T Day of 2017

Such a gorgeous page Yvonne! The deer image is adorable and I love the way napkins melt into the page, on first glance I thought it was painted especially with the way you created the background with page pieces and the stencil - so very beautiful! I love the sentiment too, such great words to start the New Year, here's to experimenting and trying new things :-). Wishing you a Happy T Day! J :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful post Yvonne and once again I love what you have created with those beautiful napkins.
ReplyDeleteLove the quote on your page and one I will try to remember :)
I'd be lost without digital creations too on days my hands play up-who ever it was that created the software was a genius!

Wise words. I love your attitude. Never say never, just keep moving forward. I carry a notebook in my purse with the "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." I bought it for the quote, not the notebook! You made a beautiful page of it, Yvonne.
ReplyDeleteI traveled the opposite direction. I started with digital scrapbooking, loved it and thought I'd never want to deal with the mess and supply mountains of paper scrapbooking or mixed media. Now I love them all. That's what can happen when we step outside our comfort zones ;-)
Happy T Day and Happy New Year! XOX, Eileen
Love the journal page Yvonne and I lover the quote.

Beautifully done! congrats for learning the digital process too. Happy T Day, and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYour digital art is really fabulous Yvonne, and this page is awesome with a great quote.

Such and amazing page and message ♥♥♥♥ I'll keep repeating the quote as I struggle with my new class :) Happy T Day !!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful journal page and an important lesson. As to creating digital art, a computer is just another tool in your tool box. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteI know why you use that cup so much. I'd find myself always reaching for it if it were in my cabinet :) Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteHow delightful an image that deer is!
