Say it with Flowers .....at TioT's

The new theme over at Try it on Tuesdays is....

Say it with Flowers.

Flowers are used for many occasions and in many ways,  we are looking forward  to seeing  how you interpret this theme for TioT's,. Please call over to see what we have all been making.

This is a photo of the hands on original  version of my page, a shaded yellow background with the little guy [a stamped image]  holding his bunch of sunflowers. before I got too carried away to add more digitally.

The words  read....

'I want you to know that someone cares'

I thought straight away to use  this quote  with

 some bright yellow flowers. 

 Flowers, cultivated or wild,

  given with love  show we care, they can brighten a dark day

 and give us hope for the future.

Stay safe and thank you for calling here today.

I will also link this page to Valeries theme at

 Art Journal Journey where the topic is.....Spring

Spring is in the air

 

Its been a while since my last post but I still have time to share another page for Valerie's theme

Spring over at Art Journal Journey

I have to admit to  re using   an older  page,  that had been work in progress and forgotten about for quite some time, but I did smile when I saw the duck trying to fly off   to perhaps  enjoy some spring weather.

All the additions were computer generated.

Thank you for taking time to call in, you are very welcome here and I hope you will join us at AJJ.

Black, white and one colour.... at TioT's

 

The new theme over at Try it on Tuesdays begins today.....

'Black. White and one other colour.'

I created this first page  [black, white, purple]  using computer generated images.

I wanted to leave an area of white behind the black main  image I was using., easier for me to keep a ' white space'   ,

 this is a  style of crafting I am not comfortable with. I always want to add more .

However I will share with you a hands on page as well,

 with background stamping and colouring  using  shades

 of pink  inks 

 The main image was  stamped  in black.

Its not a good photo , the light wasn't cooperating today ,

 the camera was insisting it wanted to use the flash

this is the best photo of quite a few attempts.

We are looking forward to seeing  how you interpret this topic.

Please pop over to  to get all the information  and see what the TioT team have been creating 

for this theme.

Stay safe and thank you for calling in to see me today.

Spring......at Art Journal Journey

 March and a new theme begins over at

 Art Journal Journey.

Valerie from Bastelmania is hosting this month 

and the theme she has chosen for us, is......

Spring

This was my starting place, a hands on journal page with a Brusho background and some fussy cut stamped flowers. Photo taken then  into the computer program I use  to  add some digital extras.

I don't know if my little rabbit is taking time to smell the spring flowers, or saying hello to the ladybirds and butterfly. I would like to think he is welcoming Spring and hoping to see more  sunshine as the days get longer and hopefully warmer.

We are looking forward to seeing how you all interpret the theme and hope you will join us at Art Journal Journey, where you will find all the details .

What's your Style?

 'What's your style' has been the theme over at 

Art Journal Journey  for February.

Chosen for us by Bleubeard and Elizabeth.

This  subject in relation to crafting was something I hadn't thought about very much

 over the years.. Yes, I have tried many hands on craft projects and hobbies,

 they've  always played a big part in my life..... a good way to escape  from the real world,  have  some personal  time, recharge the batteries,  reflect a little, memories and plans all could  be thought about in those free  times. These days my crafting style seems to be digital  as well as creating journal pages.

Thank you Elizabeth and Bleubeard for making me think about style this past month and for the inspiration I've  seen from everyone this past month.

This journal page is relating to  fashion style,

  how we look and what we wear.

 I'm with the kids,  who  like to dress up and have fun , 

I don't think they have a care how they look, myself I prefer casual and comfortable.

Not so their elegant mothers who are dressed to impress. 

Thank you for calling in  here,

Stay safe.

Add some texture

A new theme begins today over at 

Try it on Tuesdays...

Add some texture.

 This is how my journal page began

On the left is a  photo  showing a close up view of  some of the texture areas using modelling paste

around a stamped image that would eventually covered over.

On the right a photo of the hands on page with some added scraps and a few digital additions.

You will have guessed by now that the page was completed in the digital computer program I use

 [notes in my sidebar] A cleaner way of adding more texture and mistakes are more easier to manipulate.

Please pop over to see how the TioT gang interpreted the theme and get all the details

and we hope you will join us there.

I will also be linking with Bleubeard and Elizabeth's theme

over at Art Journal Journey... 'What's your Style'.

All Loved Up at.... TioT's

 'All Loved Up'.......

is the new theme for the next two weeks over at

 Try it on Tuesdays

If you have a dog and a cat as pets in your home

 I hope my page will make you smile.

Bonzo and Mimi want to share their love with you all

[when they are not having a scrap about who sits closest to the the warm fire]

We hope you will join us  at TioT's for this theme,

please call over to get all the details .

This was is  the journal page I used  as the starting  base for my take on the latest  theme. Background stencils and mop ups with  two fussy cut out stamped images [sorry  I cannot tell you who the maker is]  I used distress inks for colouring.

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

 

My style of crafting these days usually finishes off with added computer details.

With a starting point that could include a variety of hands on crafting styles. 

I will also link my page to the theme What's Your Style ... over at Art Journal Journey

Thank you for calling in today

Stay safe and keep well.
