Having a crafting play time, we returned home yesterday evening ,
all the decorations are safely stored away for next Christmas.
It was good to spend a couple of hours in the craft room again.
A page for January's theme over at
where Alison's chosen topic is...
Geometric Shapes.
The stencils I used for the background were circles and rectangles using distress oxides for colour.
I just had to give a new stamp an outing , culling this down to a rectangle.
I stuck the animals [paper napkin] to card and cut them to shapes as well, but I did computer generate the words on the green backgrounds.
Thank you for calling in today and for all the lovely comments you have been leaving for me .
I do really appreciate the comments you leave for me here.
A great way of incorporating Geometric shapes and what a subject - nothing can be more beautiful than nature! Great design.

Beautiful piece so full of God's natures.xxx
ReplyDeleteI love the mellow colors and the natural images. Your page feels like winter, but in a beautiful sunny winter day kind of way. It always feel so good to put out the holiday decorations and then pick them up and put them away after the holiday doesn't it? I hope you have a good end to your week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt definitely didn't take you long to put that lovely fern stamp to work. I can see why you like it. It's lovely and so is your geometric inspired beauty. You also did a great job using those napkins. What a true quote, too. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful images for this theme Yvonne. Great that you left lots of white aroubnd the boxes
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day

Your nature page is beautiful! I love your new stamp too and you combined it beautifully with the animal images and wording - perfect 😁. I was sorry to put my Christmas decorations away today too but twelfth night is approaching meaning Christmas is officially over ...lol 😉. It's lovely to be crafting again though, isn't it! Wishing you a happy weekend! J 😊 x

The simple square frames for those lovely animal images work beautifully for Alison's theme - a really great page celebrating nature's beauty.

Aren't you clever, I was over-thinking this challenge too literally and not digging it much. Love what you did with it, xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat delightful nature elements you used here!
