homemade

 A short post to share a journal page  at Art Journal Journey

 and the theme Neet chose for us this month... Type

For the background I used an old letter and number stencil,  

dropped paint onto the page that didn't go where I had hoped, so  it is still work in progress. 

 However with the aid of my digital computer program  I was able to create this page.

Layers and scraps  with different type fonts

made  what looks like a happy face to me.

Homemade Memories

Feelings are often hard to put into words but if we note or type those words they will be remembered for a very long time.

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

Keep it Simple at........ Try it on Tuesdays

 

'Keep it Simple'

is our new theme over at Try it on Tuesdays.

I have made this card  using a single ALL& Create image and coloured it with watercolour paint.

Leaving a large area white is not something I am comfortable with [the black edge is a piece of card that I used   as a base to get the photo ] I would have liked to shade the edges of the card and perhaps add a border, but I had to stay within the theme's guidelines.

We do hope you will join us and share your

 'Keep it simple',  ideas, cards  and projects .  

Type....at Art Journal Journey.

 

August

 and a new theme over at

Art Journal Journey

where we welcome our  Guest Hostess for this month

 Neet from Hickydorums

the theme she has chosen for us is.......'Type'

Please pop over to AJJ to read all the information and see the inspiration

 Neet is giving us for this topic.

My journal page began with some stamped letters and numbers,

torn scraps  of book, dictionary paper a few scraps from the bits box and some paper dolls [TH]

There are so many styles of print to choose from to add to a journal page 

and these children just couldn't make up their minds.  I do hope that one day they will get to type  their own story  in their chosen font  perhaps using old fashioned pen and ink, or a typewriter,  although these days it would probably be  typed up using a computer.

We look forward to seeing how you interpret this theme and hope you will join us at AJJ.

Feathered Friends at TioT's

 

A new theme starts today over at Try it on Tuesdays....

'Feathered Friends'.

How you interpret the theme and materials you use is entirely up to yourselves

 We hope you will join us and have fun  and look forward to seeing what you make.

My mop up  journal page began by  adding  some torn music paper, die cut grasses/flowers

 and a fussy cut stamped bird. 

The bees and the words I added in the digital computer program I use.

The bird may be singing while the bees add the backing tune, it is a real pleasure to listen to them sing .

Thank you for calling in today, stay safe and keep well.

Travel and Adventure ..... at Try it on Tuesdays

 

A new challenge theme begins today over at Try it on Tuesdays.

Travel and Adventure.

Please pop over to TioT's to see what we have all been making.

We also have some good news to share 

Tammy from My Craft Central

is joining us there.

We are all looking forward to seeing how you interpret this theme .

With restrictions, visiting other countries isn't allowed in many parts of the world, so my page represents a hope that if your destination of choice is to somewhere hot to see the animals in the wild. you will enjoy the  adventure and the journey when  we are free to travel again.

My  digital  journal page began  with a hands on page

 using  a stamped image of a mother and her baby elephants...layers including paper and material scraps

  I created the page with the giraffes

 in the digital computer program I use

Thank you for calling in to see me.

Stay safe everyone

Summer Countryside at......... Art Journal Journey

 

Its July and we have a new theme over at Art Journal Journey

hosted by......Alison  from Words and Pictures.

Please call over to AJJ to  see how Alison has inspired us

 and to read all the information she is sharing for the theme.

I am sharing another made over journal  page using a photo taken  among the apple trees at the top of my garden.  A fussy cut stamped bird and a die cut or two, and  some computer generated leaves in the foreground which covered most of the die cut branches.

 One of the joys of a local country walk was for me.... to hear the birds singing  and see  the bushes and trees with all their abundant foliage and if we were lucky to see the deer in the distance..

These days a trip to the countryside isn't possible for many folk due to restrictions, I am lucky to live close to woodland but   don't get to walk there now, the uneven ground   is a hazard for me    I'll stay with my memories of many happy walks in the countryside  and enjoy  a few  walks with my sons when they are able to be with me. 

We hope you will join  us over at Art Journal Journey and look forward to seeing your journal pages following Alison's theme.

Spread your wings

 

Nearly the end of June  and  a last journal page from  me for

 Mia's theme over at Art Journal Journey

This is how the mixed media page began in my journal, some time ago I have to admit.

You can see its had a bit of a make over using my computer  and had some pretty butterflies added.

All my good intentions to try to do more crafting  these past few weeks hasn't happened, I'll be positive and hope it will pass and I will get round creating again soon and visiting you all

on your blogs.

Stay safe everyone
