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, plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. 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. 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 Evangelical Church.

WOYWW #888 - Encounters In Colour

Oh my life struggling with STUFF! Can't even seem to position my photos on my blog! Aarrhh!!

Yay done it, having deleted all and closed it down and started again.

Jut one of those days methinks (Tuesday evening).

On desk in the 2nd of my pages for Encounters in Colour my latest on-line art journaling course.


We started with a warm up session on affirmation cards.

The first 2 days pages are here.....

and here.......

Struggling with finding a word for mine but enjoying the art work.

Earlier in the week I made a 40th card using a die I got at the scrap store.

Along with lots of other goodies. 

All for a tenner.

My living line continues to grow too.

Oh and I did the June page in my journal as well.

I think the choppy waves explain how I'm feeling right now. 

Praying for some peace in this troubled sea.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Happy Knitting Day WOYWW
Wow your cards are amazing - colourful is the word! And I think I need to browse back for the origin of the living line, cause that is looking fabulous too. And an cool haul from the scrap store too.

Lovely post, BJ. Your journal pages are simply beautiful. I'm never going to be an art journalist though I am planning on starting a sort scrap journal to record my everyday life. I've always kept a written journal but I think I'd like to change up to something a bit more scrappy. Have a very happy WOYWW, despite those waves. Hugs, Elizabeth xx #12

Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit “choppy “, praying for calmer waters for you. I have been struggling to watch Encounters in Colour as the Internet is so bad here. Ridiculous in this day and age, when you have to make doctors appointments on line. Enjoy the rest of the course. Angela #13
