scrapbooking

Good evening folks, I hope everyone is keeping dry and warm and managed to survive Storm Doris!
I have been scrapbooking. There are a few parchment pieces on the table as work in progress but this post is all scrappy stuff, oh and a little Art journalling .I guess I should have named this blog something more general. but I can't change it now without loosing all the past posts!

This one above is my eldest daughter with her friends on a day trip to Harry Potter land, It was her birthday . It was inspired by a sketch challenge over at UKS.  it's White card stock and I got the dust off the sewing machine for the stitching.

This was another page made for a challenge over at UKS I had to use blue, a winter photo and a sketch. Again its Karen the eldest daughter. on that trip to Harry Potter land

This again is for a UKS challenge. I had to follow the sketch. Its Leo my dog. He has been living with family over the past fifteen months while I recovered from three operations on my hip and leg. At last the doc said Yes to him coming home! YAY. I used a pale pink striped paper and some project life cards and tags.

This is yet another UKS challenge. I love these challenges. They are a sure thing to keep me scrapping away. This is Angela, youngest daughter and her hubby Marc and Karen all running to raise funds for a charity that Angela's work place Briggs supported. I used a Dazzlers texture paste and stencil for the trainer prints . I needed to use mixed media, a huge title and do some free hand stuff.

This page is Art Journal  work. I'm not that good at this stuff but enjoy having a go now and then. I had a background already. If I have un-used left over paint etc I slap it on a page and then hope I can work with it! I used  off cuts of material for the lady and dogs and a few bows. I just went with the flow and had fun.  

This is pastels. Never used them before and I'm in love with them. Now I hope to get a bigger set and so more shades. I am learning as I go. I already said I'm not a lot of good at art journaliling  and faces are a challenge! I used a spray fixative over the top to stop the pastel smudging.

Well, that's it from me this time. Is anyone looking? who knows But I keep the blog running, and hope someone nips in to check it out! Anyway I enjoy it! So why not! 

So, has always, spread the love folks. We are all different in one way or another...right????? so embrace the differences. Celebrate each others talents. and smile :) till next time.....
