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 #755 - Scrapping, cards and more...

Yep, pushing myself to get some scrapping done, just finished up to April 2023 - yay.

I've stuck this since taking the photo, well I needed to, so I could get to the PC keyboard to type my post - LOL. 

So we have the last bits of February, Valentine's Dance and 25th Anniversary. The snow early March and my son's surprise visit for Mother's Day in mid-March.

We finally got SMART mid-April, plus a bit of geocaching, garage electrics and Easter.

I did a hidden page for the actual old/new meters and the "story" behind us getting them etc. bit boring photowise but all part of life.

The end of April and I did a "Potbound" craft retreat whilst hubby met up with an old pal and went to a photo exhibition in London.

I made a few of my craft challenge index cards into cards.
The spare (not quite cut properly) rose was made into a card too. I used backing paper I'd painted myself too.

Scripture52 is at week 46, not long to go to finish it now.

And finally my Bible watercolour for this week is a pair of lungs with Sunflowers. Signifying the breath of God/Holy Spirit within us.



Happy WOYWW Everyone.

I always love visiting your desk to see the array of projects you have been working on BJ. Your layouts are fabulous as always - love the hidden bits too - they are part of the story. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2

I suspect that may be the first time that anyone has ever scrapped electricity meters but you’re right, why not? It’s the sort of thing that’s easy to forget but is part of life! You have been really busy, the LOs are fab!

I love your bible painting.
I see now what you are doing with your scrapping. you are kind of treating it as a diary of events that have been going on in your lives. What a great idea, and what a lovely thing it will be to pick up and read and see in years to come.

Great pages and Bible art. I am trying to do the prayer journal on Jade’s FB page. I am finding it a bit difficult to get the prompts. I think she is now posting her completed prompts, I wrote down what I thought were the new ones and when I came to do them realized I had already done those. Happy WOYWW. Angela #6

I just love your layouts. It is still wonderful to look back at all my albums - I just wish I could get motivated to delve back in. I suspect it'll take a grand-baby for that to happen LOL!
Nothing more tragic than dodgy internet on WOYWW day!
