A red Journal and a stop at the Tea Junction

Another hybrid  and you can say 'Messy' journal spread from me today.

As you know I often use my own base layers and complete them in my digital program

On the left is a group  of  photos.

You can see the original messy pages,. It is a kraft paper journal so I started out with a layer of white acrylic paint then inks stamps and torn papers in my hands on journal..

Now the digital  additions...

far left the  main image I wanted to use. the base background from above,  many layers of colour, digital splashes etc.

On the right with additional red colours.

so I can join in at

 Art Journal Journey again for the 50 Shades of Red theme

These pages proved to me that digital can also be 'messy' when creating  them

 and a very enjoyable way to pass a cool dull afternoon.

THe bonus of these stages is that, I did have clean hands.

I will add a quick reminder that the

Try it onTuesdays  current challenge theme is

 Lets Get Messy.

Now a big Hello to friends from 

Bleubeard and Elizabeths

where every Tuesday we are made very welcome if we have a Tea related post.

This was the tidiest part of my craft desk today.

I am managing to add an entry into my diary/ journal each day,

 its only a few words, but for me its progress.

Do you like my Tea sign, a gift with the mug  at Christmas.

On the subject of mess, The craft room is a shared space and here is a peek, at the other side of the room and  some of my husbands mess.
 He has a model railway in our loft,
 out of bounds to me.

He brings the trains down to  tinker with them if they aren't running smoothly.
He calls this area his repair/shunning yard.
There is always work in progress, new buildings this time. I have to shut my eyes to the dust, when they come downstairs,  but he does have some very useful tools lying around, that  come in quite useful for me as well.



Thank you all for calling in today, you are very welcome
and I hope you have a Happy T Day.
