Diary day and a crafty playtime.



Diary Day week 9


''Spring is on its way''
nobody has told our weather  this fact.
Weather warnings and only some main roads getting cleared. Some folk have been stranded in their cars for  hours in very bleak conditions.
So, 'Snow', has  kept us home  this week and today it's been   more of the same conditions.. so what an excuse to have a  few extra hours in my craft room.
Thank goodness for a well stocked freezer and larder at
times like these.

This grey page needed cheering up.
. After colouring in the flowers,
I used a Paper Artsy stamp and fussy cut  the bird house.  Some animals  torn from a napkin and as you see one of my favourite stencils and colourful oxide inks..

I will also share this page with the folk at
 Art Journal Journey
for Rosie's theme.....'Spring'.



..................................................................

I  also made a tag  for the current challenge theme of
Spring Flowers  at..............
Tag Tuesday




Above you can see the hybrid version of the tag that I created for the Tag Tuesday theme
The spring flowers were  computer generated.

The base of the tag was coloured with oxide inks. A little random script stamping, with some stencilled foliage.
The  stamps I used were free with a magazine.The tag with the rabbit will be going off to a  a crafting penfriend.










I have been using my computer   quite a bit as well this week.

This   digital page
 [notes in my sidebar]
which I  am sharing  here, comes with a reminder that there is still a few days left if you would like to join the current
 Try it on Tuesdays
theme..... Vintage.









Thank you for calling in to see me today, you are always very welcome here.

  3. Hope your weather improves quickly. Sounds like your winter weather waited until almost spring to arrive. We don't get Siberian weather here but we get Canadian Clippers that come down from the Arctic. Not fun and probably similar to that Siberian weather. But on the good news you've created some fantastic art by staying in. Your calendar spread is so bright and colorful-like spring should be! And your tags are beautiful as is your digital piece. We have had heavy wind and rain today-luckily not snow or we would have been dumped on and it was a good art day for me too. happy weekend! Stay warm inside. Hugs-Erika

  5. I always love your calendar pages. What got me was those two pages look NOTHING like the original you started with. Talk about a makeover. This is fabulous.

    I also love your spring inspired tags, too. And of course, I love the vintage inspired digital art, too. You do digital SO well.

  9. There is no better excuse than the weather to keep us indoors and craft, what a beautiful collection of artwork, tags and printed pages Yvonne. Well done on your well stocked freezer, I have been helping make sure that family unable to get out have enough to see them through this very bleak weather. Hoping to get some crafty time myself this weekend now I know everyone else is provided for.

  10. You were so busy and all three pieces are so beautiful! I love your fantastic spring scene in the diary! Your diary is going to become a wonderful book of art! Thanks for linking this to Rosie's AJJ collection dear Yvonne!Much appreciated!♥
    The tag is so beautiful - I love the colors of the tag - the original is terrific and I am sure your friend will be happy about it and the digital additions make it even more pretty, but I love especially the blue/green quality of the original tag! Your wonderful digital Tiot Vinatge reminder collage is so pretty as well! Have a great Saturday!

  17. Wow, I'm loving all your crafty playtime creations 😁. Your diary pages are so joyful with the happy colours and fun animals, it makes me smile as they look like they are having a wonderful time playing in all those flowers. That's such a lovely flower stencil too, I may have to have a look out for one of those 😁. Your tag is perfect for spring and I love your digital vintage page for TioTs too - beautiful! Let's hope the weather gets more spring-like soon, all our snow has gone now and we still have cold temperatures and strong winds. Stay warm and Happy Weekend! J 😊 x
