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 #783 - Wild Art Deep Faith

Started the "Wild Art, Deep Faith" course by Jenna Burne so that's what you find on my desk (yesterday) I'm a little at odds with just playing with supplies and techniques versus wanting to get a page finished each day but I'm managing it.

Here are my first 4 days:


1) Was to Wreck your Journal but I found this quite difficult!

2) Was actual journaling, which is underneath the finished page.

3) Acrylic paints - who'd have known Dark Turquoise and Lavender mixed would be Key West Blue!

4) Watercolour and Inks (I only have Dylusions inks and they are watercolour not acrylic)

The last 2 days have brought worship songs to mind - nothing was planned.

As for the Journal, I made a new one for June in the tall slim format to fit in a magazine cover I'd been saving.

I've done my Bible Journaling Ministries Page in my Faith Journal and my mini bible.

I also WON a month of their subscription membership Momentum. Wow I was over the moon with that.



 I did my Faith Inspirations page (one colour was Key West Blue and I only discovered how to mix it the day AFTER!!! - see above).

I redid my little canvas and it might be done now.


Of course I finished off my May journal and Messy May all done. Really enjoyed the prompts and videos.

I got to do a page with all my favourite bits and pieces, had an evening of gelli printing to make a page, used up a stitched cluster from the BB Bash course earlier in the year and used a scrap/scratch sheet and a hand made mask for the last page.

I received my last few ATCs and they are all now rearranged on my fireplace, with a few oldies.

I love them all thank you so much.


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

What a great way to display the ATCs! I sent my address (eventually) but don't worry if you passed on your last one, I totally understand. Your decorated bible page is glorious and you've really stuck at all the prompts for Messy May really well! Have a great week, Lisa-Jane #13 www.prettymypage.co.uk
