Alice Postcard Project - part 4

Hello. Today I have number 4 in my altered Alice in Wonderland postcards project to share. This one is a wee bit simpler than the others. A bit of patterned paper for the background and various bits and bobs collaged on top. Have a look at my process video to see how I pulled it all together....

Here are links to previous blog posts on this project -

Hello

Hello, today I have a card to share. A modern, clean and simple take on flowers. The stamp set is 'doodle buds' by Wplus9 and the papers are 'black&white' by Glitz.

I have filmed a step by step video on how I put this card together and would love if you took a look!


I am entering the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday....clean and simple.

A Strange and Wonderful Place

Hello. I've been having more fun in my Prima Mixed Media Book, and this time I filmed it! 
The video is a little long but you can either grab some stash and play along with me or use the fast forward button! I don't mind either way!! 

I used ABStudios stamps and paper, grab them over at Paper, Pen and Plan (quote LIZ10 for 10% off ).

Micro Art Journal

Hello. For a couple of years now I have been joining in 'Tiny TN Tuesday' (TN-travellers notebook). Clare, the owner of Paper, Pen and Plan hosts this every Tuesday over in the Facebook group! 

I love this little micro so much, I am on volume 2 and will soon need a volume 3! I have never really shared on my blog as it's a facebook thing but I thought the time had come. It's amazing what you can do on tiny pages, sometimes it's just a sticker or two, but sometimes I go all out mixed media. 

The pages above are today's efforts, it's definately a snow day here! The page below is a collage, and is one of my favourite pages.

I have filmed a three minute flip through and you can see that here on my channel or click below. If you want to join in you can grab a micro journal here. Don't forget to join the PP&P facebook group to share your tiny pages!

You Are Pretty Much The Best Ever

Hello, I have a card to share today, I have also filmed a step by step on how to make it! You can pop over to my channel here or click on the video below. 

The stamp is 'sweet surrender' by Penny Black and the sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday set called 'I Like You'. Loads more info' in the video, have a nosey, and if you subscribe you won't miss any future videos! 

I am entering my card into the following challenges -

Alice Postcard Project - parts 1 and 2

Hello, I have started a new ongoing project. I am altering a box of Alice in Wonderland postcards! 
I also have plans to share my process with you and you can watch my first video here - 
 
I will be collaging, stamping, inking, adding texture and learning as I go along. I bought an inexpensive Alice book and I am clipping the words from that. For these first two postcards I have stuck with the Alice theme but as time goes on it may just be general messiness!

So that's the first two 'in the bag'. I am trying to grow my You Tube subscribers and I would love if you joined me and subbed to my channel, and let me know in the comments if you like this sort of 'longer, talkie' sort of video. Anyway, shameless plug over, stay safe, stay home, happy crafting!

February Sweet Treat Box

Hello. It's Thursday so that means it's time to share my project for Paper, Pen and Plan. Well, my February box popped through the letter box yesterday. Wow! Before I tell you about my project, let me share what is in my box.

Gorgeous pompom trim, ribbon, twine, length of fabric, wooden frame, ink pad, doily and gems!

A transfer foil set and a handy bullet journal stencil.

Patterned papers, sticker sheets and diecut shapes and tags. Like I said, wow!

So, I decided to make something for my planner. It's a triple folder with pockets. The front (top pic') has a handy calendar that pulls out from a pocket.

Open it up and it has my 'to do' lists. Open it further and it has pull out planner pages.

I decorated using the trim, ribbon and stickers from the box. You can grab yourself a box here.

Arteza Art Journal - part 3

Hello. Another mixed media scene in my Arteza Journal. This time the background is patterned tissue paper, texture paste through a brick wall stencil and watercolour paints. 

The main focal point images are from the Lady Vagabond paper pad by Stamperia. I have only fairly recently discovered Stamperia, where have I been?

Nature Journal - part 15

Hello. I have another entry in my nature journal to share. This one records a snowy walk in the park next to where we live. I have kept the colours very pale and muted to hopefully reflect the white of the snow! 

The pictures were printed from my phone using my PeriPage mini printer. This little printer needs no ink, it prints on a roll of receipt paper. Not perfect pics but good enough to record in a journal. And, of course, I still have the originals in my phone! 

The background is patterned paper and the 'January bear' is a snippet from a magazine. I stamped the words and date. I also stamped the green branches using my ABStudio Twig rubber stamp, it's available here (quote LIZ10 for 10% off).

Parts 1-14 of my nature journal are here -

Archer & Olive Journal - part 1

Hello, I bought two Archer&Olive journals over a year ago now, this black one with kraft paper and a gorgeous yellow one with white paper. I have now been stroking them long enough and have now taken the plunge with the black one! I decided that I didn't want to limit this journal to a certain subject and it would just be a 'do anything in it' journal. So here are a couple of pages.

The page above is a memory I have about my late Dad's Brownie camera. He loved his Brownie and I think he quite fancied himself as a bit of a photographer! And here is that very camera, on display on my bookcase. I still also have its brown canvas shoulder bag safely stored away. 


The pages below are just a nice easy play with some nature bits. I probably should have done these pages in my nature journal but I wanted to see how they would turn out on the kraft paper.

I am so happy to have started in this journal and I'm pretty pleased with how 
my pages have turned out so far.
