Live your dream..... its T day



Hello  to everyone who is calling in to see me today.
Its T stands for Tuesdays over at

where we are always made to feel welcome with a drinks related post


I am  sharing  this  page today.
On the left is how it began in my 8 x 8 inch journal. I had a  piece of card, embossed using a brick style folder.  I used water  colours, distress inks  and some gilding wax to colour this, knowing I was going to add the fussy cut  cat.

The photo was taken, then it was off to the computer for the added additions.

One of these days I may give myself a shock and not use as many colours.  But,  I prefer to live my dream when it comes to being creative 
 and just go where the flow takes me.


My two angels have popped down from the shelf  they usually stand on  for the holidays.
They have seen many cuppa's over the past few days and I think they approved when they saw that there was still a piece of the  Christmas cake left to go with today's cuppa.

I scheduled this post as we are  on our  way back home today after spending New Year with one of out  sons. I will grab a cuppa and catch up with you later today.

Thank you for calling in you are always welcome here.

Post update now I'm home.
I will add this page
 Art Journal Journey
where Erika's chose the new theme of..... New Year, New Adventures
I  am determined to follow my experiments using hands on as well as digital  art this coming year.
So you could say my New Year resolution is to live my dreams, go with the flow and see where my art will take me next.

  1. Happy 2018 dear Yvonne. I saw that napkin at Valerie's blog and I know why both you and she love it so much. It is truly colorful. Yes, you do love to live in color.

    I am so glad your angels are watching over the tea and Christmas cake. They are doing a beautiful job guarding them. Thanks for sharing your fabulous and colorful art as well as your cuppa and Christmas cake with us for T this Tuesday.

  2. The texture on your page is amazing and I love this cat- napkin ... I will use it as well since a very nice woman sent it to me recently!
    And that sentiment fits perfectly! THANK YOU V E R Y MUCH for such a wonderful page linked to AJJ Yvonne!
    I like the square sized design of your journal!
    This pair of angels is really beautiful and your cup looks so pretty - I have to find a cup with poppies for me as well - I like poppies so much and it would be a pleasure to always drink out of such a cup.
    Maybe I can paint some poppies and order my custom cup with it... you brought me this idea just now - thank you!
    Will notice it!
    Happy first T-Day of the year !
    I would love to have a slice of this christmas cake after lunch today - looks tempting!

  4. Loving your kitty page. It has a cool effect! And I really like your angels. It is nice to have a little sweet with your coffee/tea too. We are very cold here-one week now. I have been sipping so much tea...but no angels looking over mine which is maybe why it is so cold. (ha-ha). Happy T day. Hugs-Erika
