Where has the time gone?

Hello Friends, I am back. Once again the time is just flying by and I wish I had more time to be here and to be creating and making lovely things. It is a thing of life being so very busy and finding the energy to do what I love is hard. Never mind, I take it where I can get it. Also, my techie son has left home so I am having trouble negotiating the technological terrain. While I have new projects to show I have yet to get them onto the computer. This is a card from a little time ago which I hope you enjoy seeing. Relish the Autumn season and make the most of the lingering warm weather. Bye for now.

January 2018 Already

Well, happy new year everyone. I hope the new year has started off well for you. I am finding it hard to believe that it is nearly half way through January 2018. The time has gotten by so quickly and creative opportunities have been hard to find. However, I have managed some new creations which have brought me much joy in the making. Wishing you all peace, joy and fulfilment as you continue your journeys.

I finally have some time to have a play with my art and to upload my latest art journal page. This is mostly acrylic paint and pen. I used just my fingers to create the picture and it was so much fun. I am really happy with the outcome. It is bright and reminiscent of spring time. Who says fingerpainting is just for kids? This was done in my altered book art journal. I hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed making it. Have a great weekend, folks.

How quickly time passes.

Hello dear Friends, the time has passes so quickly and I have been hard at work studying and looking after family, keeping the house etc. I thought I should pop on here quickly and show you that I haven't stopped making art, it has just slowed down. I hope you enjoy these little atc's I have been making. Have a great week peeps.

End of an Era Mojo 500

Hi Friends, I really can't believe it. Mojo Monday has put up their last sketch ever. I only started entering my cards at the end of last year and have so enjoyed being able to join in. Julee has always done such a wonderful job with the sketches and running the competitions. A big thank you to Julee and the team for so many years of service to the papercraft community. I wish everyone all the very best with future endeavours, whatever they may be. Here is the card I made for the very last entry. It was a birthday card for a teenage girl using the Fiesta pack from Kaisercraft again. I think it turned out beautifully, especially with a little bit of glitter paper for added fun. Goodbye, Mojo Monday, you will be missed.

Mojo 495

Hi Friends, just in the nick of time I have completed a card for this weeks mojo monday and it's competition week. This was a great sketch. Again I have used the Fiesta pack from Kaisercraft keeping it fun and bright. It could easily be a birthday card for a girl friend. Have a great weekend and hopefully I will catch up again next week. TTFN. 😊

New art journal page

Hi All, hope you have had a wonderful weekend. It has been a long weekend here, so I have had some time for crafting. I wanted to see what would happen if I did an art journal page of one of my favourite artist trading cards. Here is the result. Now, since it is a pic of Ian Sommerhalder I automatically love it, but thats cheating. Also, anytime I get to use ultramarine blue, it's going to be one I really like. Throw in blue feathers and I'm sold. Mind you, I still love the atc best.
