Winter Wonderland at TioT's

The new theme at Try it on Tuesdays ,is....... Winter Wonderland.

Please pop over for all the information and see how  we all  interpreted this theme.

This has got to be one of my all time favourite stamps and it has made  regular appearances 

on my Christmas cards for a few years.  I do not know the maker as it has rubbed off the wooden block,  yes I still have many stamps on wood blocks.
I embossed the card blank and layered up the image.
Mirri card is not happy being photographed and dull weather doesn't help either.
The ribbon isn't as bright as this in real life,
  but I think you will get the  idea,  that its all  about the  winter scene
that I was trying to create for this theme.

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

Walk into your dream

I am using  my 8 x 8 inch journal today.
It was a mop up base layer with  lots of stencils and some  of my AALL&  create stamps
I did fussy cut the figure   I wanted to show some one walking into their dream.
Thank you for calling in today , you are always very welcome here.

I hope this is another page that will fit Erika's theme of

Under the sea

Do you believe  there are mermaids living under the oceans.

 One thing I have learn't this month   creating my pieces for AEDM is not to spend to much time thinking of how I want  a page to look like and be a bit flexible with the outcome.
 If it doesn't look finished off  to me. I am able to add a digital extra,
 like the ship and splashes  on this page.

The mermaid I tore from a JD tissue, stamped the words .

As for the base.....gesso, random stamping and some stencils.
Thank you for calling in, I hope you have a great day.

I will be joining.....

Why

I  seem to be day  dreaming quite a bit this month, perhaps its all the gloomy and cold days

 we have been having recently. I think it will be a long winter.

This page is a bit of a   fantasy, perhaps a bit abstract, 

modern in style and 

definitely from my imagination

Eyes open and looking around,  a dragon fly perched on the end of her nose, 

lips  firmly closed and sealed so she  doesn't say  a word , she wants to stay in her dream.

I used a variety of stamps as well as splodges as a base.

The eyes are a JD stamp. the dragonfly a   fussy cut AALL&C stamp.

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

Shoes.....

Friday is diary day and this week I am using this fun picture taken from an old calendar.

The ladies have been out to lunch and are having a shopping trip to buy shoes.

 I absolutely hate shopping for shoes  and its many a year since I bought ones with heels.

Its flat comfortable  and walking shoes that I favour these days.

The additional stencils were added using oxide inks.

I will  be adding this to.....

Thanksgiving Blessings

 A hybrid page from me today, with digital images

 added to one of my own base journal pages.

I added pieces of torn music paper colouring with   a variety of water colours  patted on with soft paper rather than a brush.  This helps me to get right to the edges and under the rings. 

 Then I sprinkled on a few  brusho powders and waited to see how it all turned out as it dried.

I had found the Thanksgiving quote a while ago but unfortunately couldn't find  the author.. 

Happy Thanksgiving Day

to all my blog friends who celebrate this day,

I hope it is special for you and send you warm wishes for  the holiday.

The next chapter

If you called in yesterday you would have seen this on my workdesk

I decided only to add  the seed head stamps to the background and a sentiment.

I am loving using my ALL& Create stamps as well as Lynne's Affirmations, but those in the background are well and truely old favourites .

Thank you for calling in today and for the comments you leave for me.
