.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
 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
...........................................
I used images from Dezinaworls kits,
 Mischief circus and my own stored items to make these pages

Transport


 Transport is Try it on Tuesday's new challenge them,
please pop over to get all the details and see what we have been making..
This time   I am sharing one of my mixed media journal spreads.


This is the base of the background, scraps of book pages, random stamping  and some stencilling.
I used paler colour of ink sprays this time, using a soft tissue to remove the excess and spread the colours around.



Quite a number of the additions to these pages
 are scraps of G45 papers

After I had taken the photos and loaded them on the computer, I realy thought that the spiral  with the unpainted paper looked a bit odd,. So into to my Craft Studio to add a joining strip and if you look carefully  at the difference to this side of the page, there are a couple of shaddowy images. {Mischief Circus].

Thank you for calling to see me today, I always appreciate the time you take to leave me a comment.

Do you love me?


Happy Valentines Day.

A mixed media journal page to share with you today.


This is how it all began with the base layers.
Using Brusho powders and distress inks until I was happy with the colours. I added some torn music
 and some random stamping.
 The large heart is printed and fussy cut. this had been a project I made quite some time ago and I always keep the photos I take of the finished pieces.
 The flowers and birds[more fussy cutting]
 are Paper Artsy stamps. I used paints to colour these images.

I will be joining the folk over at
where Hazel's theme for this month is--If music be the food of love.

Thank you for taking time to call and see me today, I always appreciate the comments you leave for me.

The girl in the blue dress


I have just managed to finish a digital page that I am reasonably happy with
 for this weeks theme -- Violin,  over at
A few ended up in the computer trash can, one I have added to my play blog,
if you are interested  you can find it here.
The page was layered up using  my own and elements from Mischief Circus kits.
The quote is by Santayana.

I think she may fit Hazel's challenge theme  If music be the food of love-- at 
Art Journal  Journey as well.
Thank you for calling to see me today, your comments are always appreciated.

Candlelight

This digital page was made using images from Mischief Circus kits and some  free to use ones.
A quick post tonight as I am finding my way around a new computer,
 the aged old friend has decided it won't play anymore and it was  a bit long in the tooth to repair.

Thank you for stopping by to see what I have made,
 I always appreciate the comments you leave me.
