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 #802 - The Quiet Before the Storm

My 3 day Bible Conference starts this afternoon at 4pm going on till 1am each day in Arizona Time. So funny how my random screen saver has decided to join in the fun too.

Just a week's worth of journal pages this week and a few bits and bobs...

Day 8 - was touch and go. I used up some of the scrap snippets strip I made a while ago which was still pending my sewing machine coming out!

I played with the word sunshine for just a Posca Pen design on top with some distress ink around the edges.

Day 9 - was some acrylic paints and ink with B&W Posca doodles on top.

Day 10 - I had some frayed threads from my dyed fabric strips so used those with some water colour and splatters. 

Just so happens this was the day I missed the Aurora Borealis yet again, who knew!

Day 11 - finally managed to download the extra freebie from one on the conference speakers so used it on my folder, on my ticket page and in my daily journal.

If you sign up for Roxanne's emails list you'll get it free too. I love it for the butterflies and the lady praying.

Day 12 - I had a black half page so black gessoed the other half and had a paint doodle.

Day13 - I used a mop up sheet, some ink splatters and drew some mushrooms on more of the mop up sheet. We did the Belt of Truth in church so I used some words from last years conference which was on the Armour of God.

Day 14 - Wanted to use the colours from Chris and Dianne's costumes from last Saturday's Strictly. I just played around with lots of different supplies.

The words just jumped out at me from my saved cuttings.


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Oooh - love Day 10. I can't imagine staying up till 1AM, certainly not all week. Yikes. But have a great time with it and we will all look forward to seeing the pages.
Before I crash…
Happy WOYWW.

The journal pages are all so very different - I think my favs are the cosmos and faith versions! I don’t think I could stay up til 1am for an online project so I admire your staying power!

Ooh fabulous pages - I love the purple and yellow on day 14 in particular- that's a gorgeous colour combo (I don't watch Strictly but I bet the costumes were fantastic!) I don't think anything would keep me awake until 1am each night but I admire your stamina! I'm looking forward to seeing your next pages,
Hope you have a good week
