Flowers in her hair

A last page for Mia's theme..... Flowers

 this month at Art Journal Journey
We have been so happy to see all the fantastic entries everyone has shared with us for the theme and for Mia's inspirational pages.
This hybrid page started with a mop up paint and stencil base, which I then
added images to in the digital program I use.

I still haven't been able to catch up with you all, the lap top finally gave up
 and spat all its toys out the pram. I have lost quite a bit of digital art work,
 I'll get our sons to have a look at it for me when they are allowed to visit me properly
 and come inside the house.
 So I am catching  snippets of time  on the main desk top computer
 when hubby is settled for  a snooze.
The email system still isn't working properly, but I do shout thank you that I can still get the internet.

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

Tuesday musings

Hello everyone calling in to see me on T Day.

The weekly gathering over at

  Bleubeard and Elizabeths

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

After struggling for a few weeks on my grumpy  old laptop computer, 

the poor old thing has decided to pack its bag 

and go completely walk about.

I will coax it along gently over the next few days to try and get the photos I have prepared there, then   it will have to be stored away a family heirloom.

It has taken me 40 minutes  to upload this photo of my cuppa .

Add to my party , the internet issues I am having
 especially with emails not being sent or received
It would be good   to escape the house for  a while.
I think this week,  lock down
 and having a poorly husband has really got to me.
We have muddled along, tried to keep ourselves occupied
Our sons brought  this technical lego Land rover kit over
 for my hubby to  make up, it has taken  a number of weeks
 to finish, as he couldn't sit or concentrate  for long,
  it  has springs and lots of other attributes that took  a lot of making,
 far to technical for me.  For sure an adult toy not a little ones toy.

I  crept upstairs to finish this post on the main household computer, the lap top   has  some more photos it doesn't want to let me get to,
 to  show you what I have been up to recently.
 [ a few journal pages and a tag are waiting to be shared]

I apologize in advance that it will take me a while to visit you all.
However you spend the day I hope it will be a good one for you.
Stay safe and keep well.

Cut it out....... at TioT's

Cut it out

is the new  challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays.

Have some fun,  you can use fussy cut images as I did with this cat and dog or use a die cut images.

Please pop over for all the details and see what we have been making.

On the left are a few photos 

of the stages in my journal before I decided to stop messing stick down the animals and declare that I liked the  version with the friends sheltering under an umbrella

A few photos later and I could add the computer generated words, once again the words were moved around  before I was happy with the final version .

Thank you foe calling in I hope you have a good and safe day.

T day.... coffee! and roses for AJJ

Its Tuesday and its T day

over at Bleubeard and Elizabeths

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

Just to give a few of you a shock my choice of drink for this post is a......

 ''coffee'..... 

with a frothy milky topping.

All this brew needed was the kettle of boiling water

and for me to open the packet and give it a stir. in the mug.

Not my usual brew of tea, but I did enjoy having this for a change.

My hands on  crafting time is still  limited, , although I do try to get some base layers started in my journals.

The first page  involved stencils and oxide inks.

All the images were added in the digital program I use.

A second base layer  with the same stencil

s

There was a lot of ink left on the stencil so  I sprayed it with water

 and managed to get the pale softer background.

So another hybrid page created......

this one I will link up to Mia's theme.......Flowers

at Art Journal Journey

Thank you for stopping by

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

Meet Miss Rose

Miss Rose is calling in to add some colour to your world and 

bring you a friendly hug to brighten your day.

This is how she looks in my journal.

 A stencil background, she came  from a die cut block book [StudioLight]

After posing for her photo, the extra flowers. words and stitched frame were added in the digital program I use.

Sorry I cannot attribute the quote.

I had it written down with a few others that caught my eye in recent weeks while surfing the net.

I will be linking to Mia's theme of..... Flowers .....

at Art Journal Journey

She would also fit the theme of Lovely Ladies at

 Try it on Tuesdays

Thank you for calling in today.

Stay safe and keep well.

Lovely Ladies...... at TioT's

Lovely Ladies......

is the new theme at Try it on Tuesdays.

WE hope you will join us there, please pop over to see how  the TioT's gang  interpreted the theme and to get all the details.

My page began with a splashed 

mop up background and I added the fun gals. These were die cut pop outs from a [ StudioLight paper pad.]

This lovely trio love hats and couldn't decide which one to wear , so I pilled a few up in case they change their mind at the last minute before they go out.

Thank you for calling in today.

However you spend your day stay safe and well.


If you called in for T day, please scroll down to my earlier post

Tuesday is ..T day and a flower for AJJ.

Its Tuesday and its time to visit Bleubeard and Elizabeth for....

T stands for Tuesdays

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

After a number of days seeming to all spread into one and nothing being completed,
 I have a couple  journal pages to share today.

First of all  the tea was placed close by, before I started  writing the post.
This first one had a stencil and stamped background, but was finished off
with some digital images.  Alice and her friends brought their own teapot, but if it wasn't so cold here I would really enjoy one of those ice cream cones.

These  past few days, it seemed like winter was returning, so I have created another journal page for Mia's theme..... Flowers

 over at Art Journal Journey

The words gave me permission to create, so I changed the colours slightly  in the digital program I use.

Even the bumble bee has lost his yellow bands, which I have to admit don't look yellow in the original photo.









Thank you for calling in  today.
Stay safe and keep well.
