366 Challenge 'MO-vember'

Yep I know I'm a couple of days late, but that's better than not at all.
With it being MOvember this month I thought it fitting to make my 366 calender page reflect that.
If you don't know what MOvember is check out This Site.
Basically men around the globe grow a moustache throughout the month of november to promote awareness and support {and funds} for Men's health and Male Cancer's.

So here is my little page to help spread the word.

I hand drew 3 tashes, then stencilled 10 of each onto white paper, cut them all out and used them for my daily journal spots.
I created the background using some yummy fresco paints in 'london bus' and 'irish cream' colours, with a little stamping too.
Thanks for stopping by, Have a great 'Mo'vember x

A Challenge Duo.

Today I wanna share with you a journal page that I created 

{there should hopefully be a utube vid to match soon, if I can get my converter to work}

I had 2 theme's in mind when I started this page.
Crafty Boots has a Home theme this week.
And Art Journal Cafe would like you to use 'Anything that can be used as a stamp'.

 I decided to use some empty pill packs and a die cut heart for my stamping.

I had no clue when I started how the page would develop, which is the case for many of my pages but I got there in the end. I hope you like it,
Sorry it's a short but sweet post, i'm feeling a little under the weather today.
Do leave a comment so I know you dropped by x

Hello/ Salut

It's a French/English written blog run by a very lovely lady called France {but I call her Frenchie} even though she's not actually French, she's from Belgium. Anyway I digress..

So today see's the launch of a Chrono Challenge:
If your wondering what that is.. don't worry.. All will be revealed in this Utube vid I've done.. Along with my entry page for the challenge. .  Enjoy

I have to say I had sooooo much fun doing this challenge, it's harder than it looks, or maybe that's just me.

I want to say a Big Thank You to all @ AJC for having me.

366 Challenge

Well here we are in September... OMG It will soon be {that festive time we dare not name}

I was a little late with my 366 Challenge August page, but I did do it as you can see, and I managed to fill it up too.

And here is my Sept page... ON TIME!!!!

 I was going to take a b4 shot but only remembered after sticking half the stars on so I managed to get a half page shoot to give you a better view of the background. I used a mix of sprays, inks, stamps, stencils, and punchinella.

All the stars were cut out using my Slice Elite machine, it doesn't get used much but boy does it come in handy when needed!
Happy Sept 1st peeps & thanks for popping by,
I'll be back later with more journal fun!
Stay Inky

366 Challenge Catch Up

Ok so I have been a bit rubbish when it comes to this 366 Challenge, the first couple of months were fine, then the blues took over and it all goes to pot, But alas I am bouncing back.. And having quickly looked back at my blog I noticed i've not blogged the past couple of month's pages.. I made sure if I did nothing else in my journal I would at least finish a calender page..
So here is April

And here is May.. yes I know there not really filled in, but hay ho i'm just too forgetful.

Now June's page is the one that let me down, It's all a bit of a blurr to be honest so the page I made yesterday for it, reflects that, I did add dates just to make it an official page.

And that leads us to July...

I'm also entering this July page into the Artistic Stamper 'Circles' Challenge

And now i'm caught up, and hope to stay on track but I can't promise anything! We'll just have to wait and see!
Till next time

366 Challenge:

Hay everyone
So I decided to join in with Kate Cranes calender journal page challenge this year,
I admired lots and lots of pages all last year so figured why not try it myself this year.

I'm working in a brand new {and my first} Moleskine Sketchbook.

For this month I used distress stains and inks, and some TH vintage shabby papers, the stamps are 'urban stamps' by papermania, and the pens are faber-castell pitt pens and a sharpie finepoint.

I'll be back on Friday with my new DT reveal!! 

Till Then..Stay Inky

Autumn is Here...

or is it???
 The past 2 days have been el scorchio and more like the height of summer than winters coming!!
Go figure, not that I mind as i'm now on holiday for 2 weeks.
No what I was actually referring to in the title, was the new theme for this months
 Artistic Stamper Challenge 
with there
Autumn Colours Theme
I splodged some paint and ink about with plenty of stamping to make a journal page

I can't really give instructions how the page was made coz I just got into the zone and went with the flow
but all the background stamps and what not are from jennie @ The Artistic Stamper online store.
And there is a whopping 25% off selected journalling stamps so get yourself a bargain while the offer lasts!
Then get inky and join in the challenge, We'd love to see what you come up with!

As you are reading this I am away doing a class on how to better use my fancy camera.
Hopefully i'll have something to report back in the next day or 2 with maybe a pic or 3 if I manage to master anything lol
Until then..

A journal page and desk of loveliness!

Seems like forever since I played along with the WOYWW crew, I keep forgetting to post on a wednesday, but I remembered today for some reason!! and as luck would have it I have a mass of yummyness on show.
Firstly I want to share my second proper attempt at a journal page..

I was totally inspired and helped along with the process by the lovely Rach who has provided me with endless help and knowledge on journalling over the past few weeks. Rach you are a total star x
 Now to what's on my desk....

I got a little bit carried away while watching the recent QVC craft day.
I only ordered the Martha Stewart paints as it's something I don't have a lot of and they looked kinda yummy.
I'm just getting into the whole art journalling thing so they will come in very handy..
I've yet to try them out so am looking forward to tomorrow when i'm not working and I can play..
But right now i'm off to bed!
 I have just got in from a 12 hr night shift and i'm cream crackered so i'm gonna take my leave, and hopefully hop round some desk in the next couple of days.
