A glimpse of yellow

Not much colour in my world today.

Just a touch of yellow.
for Art Journal Journey

 and this months theme of...
Colour in my World.

I find that the simple things that maybe taken for granted,

 can  bring colour into how we look at the area around us..

It may be a dull day and suddenly you hear a bird singing, look around and glimpse 

 a  small splash of colour , that will take your eye to something else that has more colour.

Making the day seem brighter and more colourful  in the process.

This journal page started off with a napkin. I have been lucky to have  had so many beautiful napkins given to me by friends who know I use them in my craft projects.
many don't blog, but I always appreciate their gifts.





Thank you for stopping by today, your comments are always appreciated
 and you are very welcome here.

Broken crayons for AJJ

The colour in my world today could be  bright enough to waken a sleeping mouse.

I'm not crazy

A little bit crazy today!.

well not me but this journal page seems to have everything added to it today.

I'll   start with a cuppa which for once I did finish drinking before  I got into creating mode.

So my first call will be to see friends over at

 Bleubeard and Elizabeth's

where we are always made very welcome with a tea related post

First layers were pieces of a torn napkin.
Random stamping came next.

Oh dear this seems to be getting brighter. The next  colour I added was a  few brush stokes of 

watered down white gesso. The girl is fussy cut from a pre printed Jane  Davenport page.

As you can see on the left, I am now in front of the computer and into the digital program I use.
Tea day friends I hope you notice the water I am drinking here.......... folk its not always tea to hand.


This is also my page for today over at
 Art Journal Journey,
 where I am having a super time this month with...
Colour in my World..

Todays colours are bright happy ones, to make me feel happy.

Thank you for calling in  and I hope you all have a happy day.

A splash of red and Green

What colour is in your world today.

Mine is mainly green with a splash of red.

This is my page for my theme of

Colour in my World....

at Art Journal Journey

This is how the page started.
A stencilled background, fussy cut stamped image and some washi tape to make a bench for her to sit on.
My colours today have a for me a calming effect. a time when I would just like to sit quietly and think about the important things in life .


I will also be joining the folk for the
Take a Word Challenge
the theme this week is......Wings

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

Happiness is yellow..... for AJJ

Yellow is the 'Colour in my World' today for

Art Journal Journey

Yellow is a colour that always seems to make me feel happy even if the sun isn't shining.

The page started off with a Busho background, some fussy cut stamped, water coloured  flowers [Paper Artsy]
A scrap of muslin and a brad.
This is an 8 x 8 inch journal page and no matter how many photos I take and can never get the pages to look flat and square.
All the other additions are digital.

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

Black for AJJ

 Art Journal Journey 

I have been browsing the net for  suitable phrases and quotes for colours 

 and came up this one  for the word  .... 'black'.
so that decided todays'......... Colour in my World.

I used this mixed media  background ,  I always have a few ready made up pages,  ready to use,   re- colour or add digital images to.  You will see scraps of book print, embossing, paler colours, which I toned down even more in my digital program.
It only needed a few waterbrush style
 images to complete my page.

Thank you for stopping by, your comments are always appreciated.

Lily for AJJ

Hello I'm Lily and I love colours.
I  like bright colours and never worry if they don't go together, I am  just me...... Lily
This is my page today for
Art Journal Journey

 and my theme choice of
Colour in my World

A fun mixed media/ hybrid  page from me today, to use up some scraps

that were lying around my desk and.......

..........this colouring page.

I was pleased to have found the Colouring Books published by Stampinton but it seems that they have now disappeared from the stores

They  take  all kinds of colouring mediums including watercolours as well pens and inks as they were printed on good quality paper.

You can see I fussy cut Lily out and stuck her onto a  messy inky background. Words were computer generated.

Thank you for calling in today and for the comments you leave me, which are always appreciated.
