Happy New Year

Happy New Year.

The page was made with a stencils background after I had added a torn picture  from an old calendar. It is a stamped clock and I added TH word quotes.

 These two friends are waiting for the clock to strike twelve so they can welcome the  New Year.. They wore their warm woolly scarves as it is going to be a cold winters night.

I will add this last entry for the month to 

Bleubeard and Elizabeths theme over at

 Art Journal Journey.......

Tis the seasom or My favourite season
I have really enjoyed this theme Elizabeth.

My lovely family know I like the ALL&create stamps and I was lucky to get some    for Christmas. This is one of them beside my cuppa . I know I will get lots of crafting fun using  them in the coming weeks.

For fun and knowing how I love my cups of tea this large tin cup and saucer was also a gift.

Its sitting  on the kitchen  window ledge  and  is  the right size  to hold   my indoor  parsley plant.

The frost usually gets to the one

 I have in the garden.

I hope I will be able to link up  later  to
T stands for Tuesday and visit with the folk there
Bleubeard and Elizabeth always make us feel very welcome with a drinks related post.

I would  like to wish everyone a very Happy  Healthy and Peaceful 2019.

Diary Day.......Lets Party

Lets Party

My last Diary Day of the year.
I added more colour this week to an already bright page.
Of course I used stencils and random stamping for the background,
why change  my favourite  additions to my weekly diary pages.
Hugo and Fifi  [PA stamps] are busy making cakes for the  New Years  Party on Tuesday .

As its nearly New Year's Eve I will link this page to
Bleubeard and Elizabeths theme at
 Art Journal  Journey
 this months theme is.....
Tis the Season or My favourite season.

There will  be many gatherings and parties this festive season  to celebrate the New Year,
although ours will be  a rather quieter event with the family.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who has called in  on Fridays  to see what I have been creating in my weekly diary......  52 weeks.... I made it......
 your visits and comments  have been very much appreciated.

Snow is falling

A hybrid journal page to share with you today.

Straight away I will tell you that this water colour painting is one of my husbands, which he used to make my Christmas card.

So its a bit of a joint effort.

 I asked for a photo  before he made the card  and  I used it in my digital program to create this  Winter scene.

I will join  Bleubeard and Elizabeth

over at Art Journal Journey 

for their .... Tis the Season or My favourite season theme .

Thank you for calling in to see me today,  I hope you had a lovely Festive  Holiday.

Happy Christmas everyone

Happy Christmas everyone.

However you spend  Christmas  or celebrate   this  season  of the year.
I send you my best wishes  for a peaceful and Happy Holiday.


******************************

This photo  is  to share with the friends I have made  at Bleubeard and Elizabeths's Blog
Where each Tuesday our hosts welcome us  with a drinks related post.






I will leave  Santa a warm drink in the flask tonight  with  chocolate biscuits  and won't  forget that the reindeer would like  to munch on a carrot..



Have a super day everyone, your friendship
 means a lot to me

My digital journal page will fit the theme at  

 Art Journal Journal

where Bleubeard and Elizabeth are hosting

Tis the Season or my Favourite Season.

So I will pop over and add my link.

Diary Day...... Peace on Earth

I have really struggled to get a good photo of this coming weeks diary page.

I used gesso to cover the background colours, with a sprinkle of brusho powder.

 A stamped image today  that I think sends its own message without needing  many more additions.
 I finished the page with   some stencils   using modeling paste for texture.

This page will also  fit  the current
Art Journal Journey theme
set by Bleubeard on Elizabeth this month.
Tis the Season or My Favourite season,......... so I will pop over and link it there.

It is the season when we  celebrate the birth of the infant Jesus.
A time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.

I hope you all have a lovely peaceful and happy day.

Summer on a winters day

Depending on where you live in our world, you may be  enjoying some warm summer weather,

So I am sending some sunshine

  to  friends who like me are experiencing our cold frosty, winter weather..

I will be calling in to say hello to friends over at Bleubeard and Elizabeths, where each Tuesday we are given a very warm welcome  when we share a drinks related post.

Crayons, inks, stencils and washi tape were all used on this page . I added the sunny scene which was torn from an old gifted calendar .

I did stamp the flowers but ended up re stamping and fussy cutting the flower heads.

Santa joined me for a cuppa today, before he has his busiest day of the year. . The evergreen plants  close  to the house  are still looking healthy

although most of our trees are bare.

I pondered at first on how to get a photo without reflections  of  the  well lit lounge with its open door, but gave up,  it  looked interesting as if there  was a door opening in the garden.

The light does strange things at this time of the year.

Thank you all for stopping by, its very much appreciated at this busy time of the year.

I will also link my journal page to 

Bleaubeard and Elizabeth's

 theme...Tis the season or My favourite Season.. over at

Art Journal Journey

A most wonderful time of the year.

A winter page for  Bleubeard and Elizabeths theme over at....

Art Journal Journey

Tis the season or My favourite season.

I was trying to have a bit of a tidy up on my craft desk yesterday.

A cold frosty day with some snow which I am pleased to say was gone by this morning.

 I had been writing family  Christmas cards and came across  a box of card toppers[saved from cards sent to our family] . I was  looking for envelopes. I have always said  'I am a very untidy crafter'.

This skating scene just had to be used, so I  created a page for  this month AJJ theme.

A sprayed brusho background, random grass stamped images which didn't turn out so well. the topper, a few die cut trees and word quote.

Thank you for stopping by at this busy time of the year,

I do appreciate your comments.
