Material patterns

Scraps of patterned material, paper bits  and  a digital computer program where  used for this page.

The materials were  glued in one of my journals and  overnight kindly decided they didn't want to glue down. they bubbled up in places and lifted at the edges. So to complete this last page for 

Erika's theme...... PSPP

 over at Art Journal Journey,

I took the photo and used  the computer to add the extras.

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

Happiness is.......

Happiness is Homemade.

Another journal page for Erika's theme PSPP  choice at Art Journal Journey

This is how the page began and you will notice that I turned it up the other way before I added a few digital additions and computer generated words..



I went a bit over the top with the stencils, but it has made good pattern for a base layer.

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

Which blend would you drink?

Hello to everyone who calls in to see me today.

Its Tuesday and its T day over at Bleubeard and Elizabeths

where we are always made very welcome with a drinks related post.

My cuppa of choice had its photo taken while I was fussy cutting some magazine images

There was a stack of colourful cups to cut out and the gal who seems to be savouring the moment .

before she picks up her cup.. She looks so thoughtful, maybe she cannot make up her mind that she made the right choice., or is just enjoying the aroma.

 I didn't have to think what  type of tea bag to use for my cuppa.....strong  Breakfast tea this morning, it may look bright outside, that is actually sun shining on my desk..... buts it is very cold.
Have you a favourite blend of tea?

The background in my journal page was random  stamped and coloured with oxide inks.

Then finished off with a few extras  in  the digital program I use.

However you spend your day I hope it will be a good one for you.

Apples and Pears

Apples and Pears is the theme  for the challenge over at

 Tag Tuesday

I remembered I had this pear stamp in one of my boxes and was happy when I found it, however apples were  in short supply except those on the trees in my garden.

So it was off to the digital program I use to add a few apples to the tag.

Thank you for calling in to see me  I hope

you all have a good day.

Hot Hot Hot .... at TioT's

Its........' HOT. HOT, HOT'......

for this new theme at Try it on Tuesdays.....

Use  hot colours, maybe a visit to a  hot country, even a hot comforting drink.

We look forward to seeing how you interpret this theme and hope you will join us and have fun

creating your project.

The DT have shared  lots of  wonderful inspiration pieces. please pop over to get all the information for this challenge.

This  mixed media page started off with a colour wash and some stencils. . Next a scrap of fabric. I created the  ATC size topper using   a fun stamped image with the mice  hoping for a sip from  a mug of hot chocolate. not tea as advertised in the background.  Just right to drink on a cooler day as  the season is changing into autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere.

The words were computer generated in the digital program I use.

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

T day musings and dressed to impress.

She knew her friends were talking about her but.........

She could see no good reason to act her age.

Bold stripes and bright colours  and  she was ready to face the day.

However not before she had  finished her morning cuppa...

This is my brew, I don't think the rabbits can believe the colour of that suit either.

I will be calling in to say hello to friends over at

  Bleubeard and Elizabeths

where every Tuesday we are always welcome with a drinks related post.

The page I created was a fussy cut image from a fashion book I found in a charity shop

The background was probably  resprayed stencils and stamps. I never like to waste the inks and spray  them with water, adding them to my mop up pages. in one of my journals.

I will also  be joining in Erika's theme......PSPP

 over at Art Journal Journey

Thank you for calling in to see me and  however you spend your day
 I hope you have a good one.

Messy and happy

I have been having a lot of messy but clean fun  using mt digital art program.

The page began with a few  stencil  layers in my journal,  which will probably stay at this stage till I get a bit inspiration on what to do next.

I will be adding my hybrid pages to Erika's theme ....

Polka dots, plaids and patterns...  over at

  Art Journal Journey

This is another version with the stencil base and digital additions.

This version so far is my favourite, but as I can return to the program, its possible that I could  end up with another page.

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