Friendship.

Friendship

A page  created as a thankyou to all the folk  who over the years

 have contributed to making TioT's a happy and friendly challenge blog.

To the current DT 

Avril, Susi,  Chris, Marjut. Joan, Rosie. Jo, Cath, Erika

and

 to all my other friends out there in Blogland.

Your friendship means the world to me.

So about the page.... inky and messy, random stamping  for the base.

An AALL&create main image, with added  doodling by me.

I think this is the style of crafting I like best.

This is my last page  created to celebrate

 Try it on Tuesdays  10th Birthday.

there will be a new theme beginning tomorrow

and I hope the start of many more years where folk can gather there to share their art.

Happiness is.........

For today's     journal  post  I have used one of the  material  pages in my mixed media journal.

I stamped the images on tissue as there was no way they would stamp their image on the weave of this fabric. After sticking them down and patiently waiting for them to dry out.

 I used  distress inks to add colour. I also used my favourite script stamp in the background.

I also used some digital stamps for the seed heads.

As you can  see  I am still celebrating TioT's Birthday

and enjoying creating  pages in my journal.

My internet time is still limited, I will be catching up as soon as I can.

Thank you for calling in, your visit is very much appreciated.

Thank you for the prompt Erika ,
I will add this to your theme In the Sky/In the air at
 Art Journal Journey

The Mouse in the Moon

This  digital page was fun to create. 

No mater what your style is.... or the mediums you use, always  be happy
 that the art you create is part of you.

Its unique to you, you are the artist who had the vision

 to put what you see and imagine onto paper.

Well in this case it was into my digital scrapbook.
Computer crafting is an easy option for me when we are away in the caravan.
I can still, 'play',   with the bonus that there will be less actual mess.
Another page to add  to my file  that I am creating for the
Try it on Tuesdays.

10th Birthday celebrations.

If I have the internet I will also link up to Erika's theme at
Art Journal Journey
In the air/In the sky
We often talk about, 'a man in the moon'.
Wouldn't it be fun if it were a mouse.
After all, in one of the Nursery rhymes a . 'cow jumped over the moon', so why not ,
that's what imagination is all about.

Thank you again for calling in.
I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Information about my digital

pages can be found in my sidebar.

Messy fun

This was really a fun page to create. 

The base is one huge  'mess'

Big splodges of paint,  lots of stamping to use all the ink on the stamps.

I found the music printed tape looking for something else and the canvas tag.... I didn't stitch, it came in a lucky bag from a friend a  long while ago.

 So messy, lots of color, scraps used and positive words to........

Follow your dreams.

Crafting fun in my world.

Try it on Tuesdays

Thank you for stopping by, you are very welcome here.

Free as a bird

Another digital page,

and the bonus is I have clean hands today.

But I can still create messy backgrounds in the digital program I use.

Try it on Tuesdays

This is  the first of a few scheduled posts as I may not have internet for a few days.
If all goes well we will be in a huge field with  like minded friends for the
National Landrover ' off road',  events.

Thank you for calling in and  I will catch up with you all soon.

For information about my digital pages

the notes are in my sidebar.

Sun, makes the garden grow.

This is a hybrid journal page from me today, I started with a  tag......
The tag had some stamping and stencils as a background and I stamped and fussy cut the flowers.
 All the shading is water colours and oxide inks.

The page  base is  a digital paper that I worked on in   my computer program, adding a variety of digital images and paint effects.

As it is a bright and sunny page it will, I think,  fit

 Erika's theme  In the  sky/in the air....over at 

Art Journal Journey

We need the sun for many of our  flowers to grow and thrive.

Another post and page to Celebrate  Try it on Tuesdays 10th Birthday.

Where we hope  you will share your Art with us there.

Thank you for the prompt Valerie
I will also link my tag to the new
Tag Tuesday

challenge theme
Gardening

The Garden Party

Can you just imagine a group of animal friends getting together

 to have a tea party on a sunny afternoon, like the ones on my journal page.

The animals came from a napkin stuck to a watercoloured base. I used an old  stamp for the grasses and after stamping the sun I fussy cut another one so I could add some sparkle after I'd coloured it. The suns rays were drawn freehand, not neat , but it gives an idea of what I hoped it could have been like on a warm spring day in the sunshine. The words were computer generated

I will be adding this page to Erika's theme of in the Sky/In the air....over at.....

Art Journal Journey

Now will be a good time to say hello to friends at
 Bleubeard and Elizabeths
where each Tuesday we are always welcome with a drinks related post.

Spring finally has arrived in my garden, the trees and plants are looking  so green .

The Acer is a really rich red shade and the Lilac is in full bloom.
The green Acer beside the steps is spreading its way over the patio already. The bluebells  under the trees are all blooming.

This is the photo with my morning cuppa, Mr Fox  again,  he  seems to be one of my
 favourite mugs to use these days.

Each day sees more colour in the garden,
Spring is here.

These last photos show the blossom   on one of my old apple trees












Thank you for calling in to see me , I hope you all  have a lovely day.

Moonlight

I am continuing my journal page shares

  with this digital piece  [notes in my sidebar].

Digital art is something I have explored quite recently and have to say

 its another avenue that I really enjoy exploring. 

I made this page with  Erika's theme in mind  over at 

Art Journal Journey

In the sky/In the air.

The folk at AJJ are always welcoming and make everyone feel at home.

Also another page for the daily art I am trying to share 

during this last week of the theme  at....

Thank you for stopping by, you are always very welcome here.

Good Times

Try it on Tuesdays is celebrating its 10th Birthday in Blogland this month.

It was back in November 2010 that I was invited to join the design team.

At the end of May 2012 Avril and myself  started taking over the Administration of TioT's.

Over the years my style of crafting has changed , but my love of getting messy and creating 'my style' of art has been a journey I have enjoyed every minute of.

So these next few days to celebrate TioT's theme.....

Lets Party

where the theme asked        everyone to......

share your ART and the things you like to create....with us.

I am off on my own personal  trip on my blog

 and sharing  some journal pages I have had fun creating.

A variety of stamps were used on this page.

The base was  a simple watercolour wipe over and distress oxides.

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

Lets Party...... at TioT's

Its a special  year for us at

 Try it on Tuesdays

This month we celebrate our 10th year in blogland.

Please follow the link to TIOT's and we hope you will join us all there.

Only one photo in the early stages of creating this page as I was having fun creating it.

I used modeling paste through stencils  on the background. Splashes of colour and shading through more stencils. Next  I printed the computer generated words and bunting.

The party people are Paper Artsy images.



I brought cakes to the party and my page was made with love.
Ten years ago the challenge  blog was started by   Janet and  Michelle , I hope they would be happy to know it is still  a happy blog and going strong
 all these years later.
TioT's means a lot to me  and I hope,  we continue to welcome and inspire folk who join us there.
