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 #806 - More Junk Journaling

Here's the desk yesterday after doing my journal page.

Still have loads of bits and bobs from the conference printables to use up, which are in the yellow tray along with various tags and items collected too.

My collage for days 5 & 6 includes a sachet from a new tea as a pocket. I sort of actually like Twinings Immune Support but maybe it being my favourite colour is more the reason!

I tried to google my favourite colour to find it's name but that's really difficult but I have kept a few notes and popped that in the pocket too.

Magenta, Orchid, Fandango, Lollipop, Lilac, Seedless Preserves - take your pick.

Collages for days 7/8 & 9/10 I just went with the flow, using up bits I'd come across sorting out an old paper box and various words and scriptures I had left over in my stash.


I completed the study on Mary Magdalene from the conference in the little booklet which was provided. 

Here is my centre spread.

I included a lady image from Gecko Gals plus items from other conference sessions and a magazine picture of a tower as that is what Magdalene translates to.

In my Faith Journal I used the extra resource from Charlene Warwick based on the nameless sinful woman. I made a pocket for the tri-fold sheet on the study for this session.

I love the single continuous line drawings of the women and have quite a few left so they will be popping up in my journal methinks.

Woman go in Peace, Luke 7:36-50.

Also in my Faith Journal I used some of the extra Esther pieces for another page.

The page edge label worked well with my previous pages above, that was a plus.

I church on Sunday we made a tissue Poppy. It was quite taxing for the adults let alone the kids but it's a lovely poignant reminder for Remembrance Sunday. 

For my last two collages for days 11 & 12 I included the second of the prayer cards which I got whilst out geocaching last month.

The pocket was from a conference resource (same as day 4 last week).

All the painting and big black marks, were from the mop-up sheet I'd used in the construction of the journal so there wasn't much to do, just add some words and pictures and doodle a bit more.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

The poppy does look tricky. But the journal pages are stunning as ever and just the balm I need on this dreary ans dismal day.

I’d say Berry would cover the colour name choices as well? Lovely colours anyway, I always associate you with purple *grin*. That poppy is fantastic and worth the trouble it took to make!

That is a gorgeous poppy but looks fiddly to make. You are so impressive with all those journal pages. My brain seems to go numb when I think of working in my journals but I am so easily distracted by other stuff. Wishing you a very happy and productive woyww. Hugs Angela x11x
