My WordPress adventures have come to an end, as I have used up my media allowance, and upgrading costs money. I’ve moved to Blogger, at Craftytrog’s Arty Adventures.
To my lovely followers here, thank you for all your amazing support and comments, I do hope you will join me at my new domain.

We’re home from the beautiful French Alps, and I finally got a chance to make my June art journal calendar. I saved teabags whilst away…the room maids must have thought I was potty! Lol! Anyway, that’s what I used for my background. I stamped a Claudine Hellmuth flower onto 7 Gypsy papers and lots of cutting out. I used PaperArtsy Everything Art, and Darkroom Door stamps for the title, then finished with white paint pen accents and splatter.
I’m linking my pages to the Art Journal Journey Challenge of Circles.
Happy Sunday!

Just thought I’d share my recent crochet projects with you. I made the orange, pink and green wrap last week, whilst holidaying in Chamonix, France, in between hikes up in the beautiful alps. I had my crochet with me on the mountains too 😉
Wishing you a glorious day,

Here are a couple of cards I made, that were inspired by Karin Van Den Broek’s lovely cards on Birgit Koopsen’s blog.
Every Wednesday, one of Birgit’s crew posts some inspiration, using Birgit’s stamp, stencil, and die designs for Carabelle Studio. You can play along with Birgit’s Art Crew, and share your art with them on their Facebook group HERE.

In the 2016 Wanderlust class, Kasia showed us how to make some prayer flags. I’m still catching up, and here are some that I made. I going to leave them up in my garden like Kasia did, and see what happens to them.
I’m linking my flags to the Stamps and Stencils challenge – Fabric & Fibres. There’s fabric stencilled with rust powder, lace, gauze, and stamped words.

I have another art journal page to share, that I created for That’s Crafty, for one of their Hochanda TV shows. On this page, I’ve used torn Gelli Plate prints, with That’s Crafty stamps and stencils, and Dylusions paints.
I’m entering this page in That’s Crafty’s ‘Bright’ challenge.

Here’s my May art journal calendar, ready to go. Lots of celebrations this month! I used PaperArtsy stamps and paints by Seth Apter.
I would also like to enter my pages for the Art Journal Journey challenge of Elegance and Grunge. I have chosen the theme of Grunge, of course!
Happy May Day!

At the end of March, my pal Dawn and I travelled up to Harrogate for two wonderful classes with the fabulous Dina Wakley, at Art From The Heart. Included in the classes was one of Dina’s fab new media journals, which have four different types of pages, watercolour paper, kraft card, canvas, and burlap. We also got to try Dina’s new Scribble Sticks, which look like crayons, but act like water colour pencils, with tons of pigment. Here are the pages I created over the two days…
Dina showed us how to create scribbly faces. This really appeals to me, as I don’t have the patience to paint faces realistically. We used her Scribble Sticks for this, and water activated with a paintbrush.
Loving the drips on this one.
After the classes, I headed up to Scotland for a couple of weeks holiday with my family, taking a few crafty supplies with me of course. I had a lovely play, printing on empty teabags with my Gelli Plate, That’s Crafty stencils, and Dina Wakley acrylic paint. I made a couple of collages with them in my new journal.
If you ever get the chance to take one of Dina’s classes, I would thoroughly recommend it. I adore her free and easy style.

Just a quick, and late share of my April calendar pages. I’m away up in the highlands of Scotland, and internet is limited, so big apologies for the lack of blog visits recently. We arrived on Orkney today, staying for a few days, so so beautiful…and windy! 😉
Hope you all have a good week,
