Life is a song

One last page for  Art Journal Journey

 where Hazel  is  the hostess for February's  theme of---

 If music be the food of love.

I hope as they journey through life, these two sisters 

will remember special moments,  where  the world seemed a magical place,

 filled with music and love.

I used a selection of images from Mischief  Circus and my own stored/found ones.

Thank you for taking time to stop by and see me today.

 I always appreciate the comments you leave me.

Chocolate and lime.

The Cheeky challenge theme for this week over at

Dezinaworld 

is  Chocolate and Lime.

 I do have my ladies posed on a chocolate bar, and the cat has just tasted the chocolate egg,

 but the fun for me was using a colour that is not in my comfort zone --lime.

The background digital layers are  from my own and found  images.

The ladies on the bench are from a Dezinaworld set.

Thank you for calling to see me today.

 I always appreciate any comments you take time to leave for me

Vintage wedding.

The theme for this week at the  Take a Word Challenge is

 Vintage Sepia-Buttons and bows.

Another digital page, I am hooked on this kind of crafting at the moment, but still manage to have a complete mess in the craftroom,  where there are  some mixed media pieces-- work in progress 

and a few messy  backgrounds.

 Look close and you can see  part of the page I used yesterday with the love birds.

Other images used were my own/found and from Mischief Circus or Dezinaworld kits.

If music be the food of Love....... is the theme

 over at Art Journal Journey

I think this happy couple will have heard the birds singing to them

 as they posed for the wedding photo.

Thank you for calling to see me today I always appreciate the comments you leave me.

Sing your love song

Another couple  pages for
Art Journal Journey
 there is still another week   to go on the current theme set by Hazel
......If music be the food of love.
This is the digital version of my mixed media page.

I have been inspired by my blog friend Susi and all the wonderful journal pages she makes.

 especially the ones that include birds.

Now I have to admit I cannot draw anything that   vaguely resembles  a bird or any known creature, but I can fussy cut.

I have a box of magazine pull out papers and  pictures that I save.

So when I was sorting through it, these two love birds came  to light.
I think they may have come  from an American craft magazine in the pull out to use section.

This is the mixed media  base I made, using water colours, texture paste. lace  and some metal bits and pieces

This is the mixed media version with the cut out birds.

The digital additions came from Dezinaworld kits and my own stored images.
Please pop over to visit June at Dezinaworld, this generous lady has an amazing offer for us all

Thank you for calling to see me today, the comments you leave me are always appreciated.

The journey starts here

Its week two for the Transport theme over at Try it on Tuesdays.

I used one of the backgrounds from last weeks pages [here] as the base for this digital page.

Images from Mischief Circus kits.

These two young ones are having fun, maybe they are dreaming that one day

 they could be flying a machine like their fathers.

Thank you for stopping by to see me today, i always appreciate the comments you leave for me.

Felix and Mimi for AJJ

When Felix asked Mimi out for a romantic dinner,

 she never imagined she would have to catch her own fish,

 then cook it on an open fire.

Love moves in many ways, at least Felix had hired a local seagull

 to whistle a tune while they were waiting for the fish to bite.

I think they were in for a long wait, those fish look wise to me.

A digital page using a mixed media background and  card as a base

 for Art Journal Journey

where Hazel is hosting this months theme of--if music be the food of love.

Digital additions are from mischief Circus kits and my stored images.

This is the textured background I used,

 it was embossed Kraft card

 and shaded with distress inks.

Now for the  card that I used for the base,  here it is  on the left.

A stenciled background and I just had to ink up these new stamps. Tim Holtz's Crazy Cats. These cats were water coloured.

Looks like Mimi got her romantic dinner cooked and they enjoyed the fish.

Thank you for calling to see me today, I always appreciate the comments you leave for me.

The keeper of the Keys..... and Mary

This weeks Cheeky Challenge theme at 

Dezinaworld

is Locks and/or keys
June also  added  an image for us  to use if we wished.
I have included it in this first page
.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
 I

This second page  also features  locks,........
however I did have a story  buzzing in my head when I was creating this digital page

Here we have  Mary taking a break .

She has to find the shed keys she dropped in the grass

 but would much rather sit in the sun and enjoy the spring air watching the sheep
and thinking about her boyfriend.

Maybe she is even humming a tune to herself .

I wonder what it may be?
Love is in the Air???

Mary will be off to visit Art Journal Journey
where Hazel's  theme is If music be the food of love
