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 #448 - Deja Vu

Horrah, prompted by Julia's Facebook post, my desk today. Not dissimilar to last week but with a subtle difference.

I'd been putting the ATC on the journal page to make space/tidy my desk but actually I really liked how the ATC looked ON the page so decided to stick it on.

Didn't wish to cover the wild flowers so made a hinge for it. So had to decorate the back of the ATC as well. I also updated the wording from hand written to typewriter on card and added some snow too.



To recap:-

The ATC

The Original page


The page with ATC attached and updated wording.

The page with ATC attached and opened.



The back of the ATC.

Also popped my phone in my new spare cover.

And there is the obligatory list as I can't remember the day let alone what I need to achieve in it - LOL

Seem to be getting a cold as well - ho hum - glad I did the shopping yesterday now.


 Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Happy WOYWW. Loving the ATC/journal page combo. I have had a list in my head of crafty stuff that I want to get on with, which includes several journal pages - but ATCs seem to be taking priority right now. I need small projects, as I get bored so easily! Ali x #9

WOW the journal page and ATC look like they were created for each other. Isn't it lovely when things come together so easily. Have a lovely week and stay warm.

Hope you are not getting this dreadful cold that seems to be hitting everyone. Rest and fluids is the order of the day. If possible of course.
Lovely idea with the atc and given me an idea for a journal. Do backgrounds which I love and then put my atc's on. Great!
Happy New Year, Neet 2 xx

I might get Wednesdays correct but I cannot get round everybody when horrid things like work keep cropping up so I’m late, sorry! I think the ATC looks great what a fab idea, that turned into, the hinge is little bit genius! I have a new case for my phone too, but it’s in a special place and I can’t find it !

BJ - I didn't watch THAT much tv - some of the figures were already cut out - just wanted to add to my collection so I could swap legs and heads about to finish off my journal. Sorry for misleading.
Hugs, Neet xx
