Make it on Monday journal pages.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you a new journal page.

Started off by drawing a large circle to centre the main image and and a smaller one towards the top for the sun/moon then colouring the surface with Lisa Horton Inks. These interference inks are just so special even on this pale background.

I went over the smallest circle with white Gesso to tone it down.

When this was dry I stamped the trees twise giving definition and shadow.

Splattered with white paint and added the sentiment and that's your lot!

Hope you like it.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

Last Friday we went to Downtown near Grantham.

We popped into the garden centre which I love as there's always something intersting to see.

They look so sweet when they're this size but they don't always tell you they grow.

If you like fish tanks there are interesting things to entertain the fish.

And of course it's nearly Christmas so they had a singing bird.

So cute.

For most of the week I've been busy making Christmas cards then went for my eyes tested in town.

The centre of Lincoln was very busy as everyone waited for the Christmas lights to go on.

Definietly looks like Christmas is on it's way.

So many people and this was 5.00pm.

During a walk in the park I managed to photograph this bird sat in the top of a very tall tree, I wonder if you know what it is?

Of course we need a few funnies to finish.

Looking at dog thoughts today.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

WOYWW - 860 - What's on your Workdesk Wednesday.

         Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

Christmas cards and lots of them.

Still working on these but just had to have a change for a while so went back to my Ledger Journal and did a page based on Autumn. 

Hope you like it.

Details relating to this can be found here:

Finally I know some of you were interested to see the movement on the Christmas card I showed you last week so I've done my best to video it....

Fingers crossed it works.

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww

Make it on Monday.

           Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I've been busy with the Christmas cards but needed a change of scene for a while so I am here today to show you another journal page.

My aim this year was to use the seasons as themes for the pages and this one is based on the things that I see in the park walking the dogs during November.

I used some Lisa Horton ink for the background and then used stencils to add the leaves and ferns finishing it with white splatters.

For the main images I used some fussy cut Fungi by Maremi's Small Art and

diecut ferns by Memory Box.

This is something I don't use very often but I saw the book and decided to give it a go, they are beautiful images and she has lots of other themes too.

Stencils.

Hope you enjoyed seeing this as much as I enjoyed making it.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

On one of our regular walks in the park the local swan family were going walk about.

Dad is on guard as usual.

He has to keep his eyes on everything to make sure the family stay safe.

It's quite a while since they had so many cygnets, five in all this year and they are getting bigger.

You might have seen these before but they continue to look beautiful and brighten the day. these were given to me by a friend who came to the Card Play day. Another friend gave me a big bar of chocolate but I can't show you that as someone helped himself to it and now it's all gone!

Alfie suffers again, what he has to put up with!

Thursday we had a surprise when oit started snowing!

A bit unusual for November but it didn't last long.

And of course something to make you smile to finish.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.
