About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

WOYWW#419 - More ATCs, Scrapping and Cards

Not much on my desk this morning except my BP petrol receipt from last night, as I was supposed to get double Nectar points with the voucher but it didn't work???

Might look into that today.



I received my last few ATCs so now have a lovely set which I have put on my fireplace tiles.




I'm back to my usual style of scrapping and have done some more pages from last December.











I made a black and white card for a friend's birthday and a second spare one with bits left over from the first.

Exam season (A-levels) here so things are a little unusual, 2 down and 6 to go for my son.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

The card is gorgeous. Really stands out. Wonderful ATCs. There are so many talented people who join in with WOYWW. Seeing your pages reminds me that I need to get back to photos. I'm just getting overwhelmed again - not sure where to start.

Have a great WOYWW

Lovely pages, BJ and it struck me looking at your card that I never do black and white cards and they look so elegant don't they? I will have to give it a go.

Hi BJ,
Great scrapbook pages - did your son record at Abbey Road? That's VERY cool - just visiting the studio would be VERY cool!!! I love the little white car; we need more of those in the states.

Great card for your friend. Love the simplicity (and drama) of black and white.

Happy WOYWW
Peace, Kay (43)

We've just had AS level exams in this house, now we've started year 2 a couple of weeks early and one of the four subjects has been dropped. You can already tell a difference in attitude, behaviour and temper in Lil Miss B - for the better I should add!

Have a great week.
