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

Here cones Summer .....at TioT's

 

Here Comes Summer....

is  the theme for the next two weeks over at

Try it on Tuesdays

Please call over to TioT's to get all the information and see how we have been 

interpreting this theme, we hope you will join us there.

Enjoying the sunshine  down by the sea

 for many over the years has been a wonderful way to spend a warm summer day.

I think the ladies in the vintage swimwear on this digital  journal page would love to be wearing what  the two modern girls are wearing.  

I'm sure they will all have had fun in the sun.

\Thank you for calling in here, I hope you all are safe and well.

For the man in your life at TioT's

The new challenge theme over at Try It on Tuesdays is.....

'For the Man in Your life.'

It could be a Birthday, Fathers Day, Retirement, New Baby Boy et.. etc.

Please pop over to see how we all interpreted the theme.

I made a  masculine card that could be suitable [I think] for a few occasions.

The background is embossed and layered onto a plain white card. The main image [ I think its a TH stamp, I never keep  the packaging] is on a lightly stamped background.

One of my sons had a cycling holiday planned for 2020 and because of the pandemic situation

it was  moved to this year,   it is on hold and will be for quite a time longer.

Another friend's son was going to have a year out and go travelling, also on hold.

I've heard of many other plans that have been  stopped over the past months.

Birthdays celebrated without friend or family close by,

this list could be very long

So I hope this card will appeal to many and that you know that one day we may be free to meet freely with each other and go out to explore again..

Thank you for calling in to see me today, your visit is always appreciated.

Stay safe.

Butterflies for...... Art Journal Journey

 June

and a new theme for the month

'Butterflies'

  chosen for us  by Mia from  Craftartista

 our  Host for this month over at Art Journal Journey

Please pop over to AJJ to read the details and to see Mia's inspiration page for her theme.

Butterflies are  lovely to see in our gardens at this time of the year,

 they are not as colourful  here in the UK

 as the ones I added digitally to my journal page,

 but they look so delicate and magical as they flutter round the flowers.

This is how the page started before the butterflies were added.

A second print from a stencil, a really old script stamp and finally  a  piece torn from the corner of  a floral napkin .

Thank you for calling in to see me today and I hope you will join us at AJJ this month.

Stay safe.
