All kinds of everything for AJJ

Hi folk I am still on the catch up as we are now home

 and preparing for the family to stay for New Year.

By the weekend normality could be here.

But I was getting a few withdrawal symptoms,

so I decided to post this page for

  Art Journal Journey

Collage with Journalling 

The current theme has only a few days left to run

and the inspiration there is fantastic.

This is the base of journal collage page, added to over time. I  added bits and pieces that I  enjoy using, but had no idea where it would end.

Stamps [a variety]and stencils, of course.

Plenty of paint and ink.

Distress ink.

Favourite G45 papers, fussy cut.

Quote, which reads--
'You are never to old to dream a new dream'.

Die cut.

I think you get the general  idea.

Thank you for calling in to see me today, I do so appreciate the comments you leave.

Happy Christmas Everyone

To all my friends and followers,

I wish you all a Happy Festive Holiday and hope that the  coming

New Year will be a good one for you all.

I may not get to visit you all for a few days,
 but will grab a coffee and have a catch up after the holidays.

Are you in TioT's Spotlight?

Over at Try it on Tuesdays

we are ending the year with a

 Spotlight Post. 

The team have picked out some favourite projects  from all your entries

and wish we could have chosen you all. We will be back in January for our

new challenge of the New Year.

Being a DT member of Tiot's has given me the opportunity to visit many folk, 

but above all the inspiration to try new things.

These last few months it has been digital pieces, one I am sharing today.

One of my next tasks is to try out parchment craft again, so watch this space.

'The lady in the twilight'

I tweeked this page in my Craft Studio program, using
My first parchment piece in many years [a Groovi plate from Clarity, I hope a few
 more might come my way for Christmas], Mischief Circus kit and found, stored images.

This is the first of a few scheduled posts, 

there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day at this time of year.

Thank you for stopping by, I will catch up with you all soon.

Joy to the World

A mixed media journal page today.
It started off digital, with stored and found images and a couple from Mischief Circus.
You can see where my decorated Joy came from, in the photo below.
The journalling  I added reads.....
'Joy and peace to the world this Christmastime.'

This is one of the cards that I made this year  using Clarity stamps.

A simple one layer and quite a challenge in itself for me.

With a bit of colour  tweeking etc. in my Craft Studio, it seemed to fit into my collage page.

I will be joining the folk over at

Art Journal Journey

the theme is Collage with journalling

and 

Moo Mania and More

the theme there is  'Christmas'.

Thank you for calling by to see me, 

 the comments you leave for me are always very much appreciated.

The Showgirl

A quick post  I didn't think I would be able to get any crafting done yesterday,
but these digital pages can become just as addictive to make as actual hands on craft work.
Especially when the hands  aren't working as well, to grip hold of things,
 you realy only need to use a couple of finger tips to get a result.

The last  Cheeky challenge theme of the the year over at Dezinaworld is
'Burgundy'.
so another digital page using elements from Dezinaworld  and Mischief Circus kits and my own stored additions put together in my Craft Studio program.

Thank you for calling by to see me today.
I appreciate the time you take to leave me a comment especially at this busy time of the year.

Sharing the umbrella for AJJ

A digital collage page made just for fun using  Mischief Circus kits,
 some of my stored images, with a   free to use quote by an unknown author.

''We are like a snowflake,
all different in our own
beautiful way''.

I am sharing this with Art Journal Journey
where Valerie has given us the theme for December,..  Collage with Journalling .

Thank you for stopping by to see what I have been making.
the comments you leave me are always appreciated.

The Snow Maiden

The Snow Maiden

Another journal page today that started out with  a mixed media background,

 with scraps of paper a bit of embossing,  a stencil, spray paints, some die cuts

and a bit of random stamping.

This page is for Art Journal Journey

where Valerie is hosting this months theme of 

Collage with Journalling.

It did start off quite pale, but I can never resist the spray paint bottles.

Now for some altering  of the first photo and a play with some digital additions,

 using free to use Googled  images and some from a Mischief Circus kit.

My last version is for a reminder of the last challenge theme 

for this year at Try it on Tuesdays

which is Snow/snowflakes/winter whites.

Thank you for calling to see me today. 

I always appreciate the  comments you leave for me.
