Aches

Aching arms from digging! We had snow all day Friday and all day Saturday - I've lost count of the number of times I cleared the access to the chalet! Thank goodness we are on the level & don't have access stairs as well. 
Thanks to the weather I was at home & indoors a lot and got my journal pages done....

Colour me positive: with all your heart
I know! Not the traditional red hearts here! I used the next page in my journal which just happened to be shades is sage/gold, added a die cut scrap, an ATC dating back to February 2008 from Katherine Dunn, drew around a plastic heart with a water soluble pencil, added some domed heart stickers in shades of pink & my Tim Holtz cargo stencil came out again....That was Friday morning!

Journal 52: self care

 And here I used the next page....shades of blue acrylic paint & a TWC stencil + black paint.

I wrote with my white  signs pen, added white dots to the black pods, tiny black circles around the pods and some extra circles that I have at times coloured in with turquoise & lime green Staedler fine liner. That happened in the afternoon.

Art prompts galore was late posting the theme but I took care of that one Saturday afternoon before going to one of the local hostleries to watch the rugby. The theme was hearts of course, what else could it be in Valentines week!

I used a piece from a card in the top corner, I was still trying to go with the ATC format, added an assortment of hearts that had been die-cut from book pages.
I outlined with a water soluble graphite pencil & did lots of fake quilting around the hearts.

Finally, I have my inchie for the new week which is beer, a free stamp from a few years ago!

I've dug out the car again, the digger driver cleared 3 adjacent slots so we all moved & reparked and now I have the afternoon clear to make a start on my DLP challenge because, yes, you guessed correctly, it's snowing!

Thanks for looking

  7. I hate shoveling snow - this year in my part of Canada we have had an amazing total of about 2 inches this year - yup - that's all- very rare, but thank goodness. Great art journal pages love your beer stamp - what wonderful stamps you must have.

  11. Great inchie, and fabulous journal pages. I didn't read the self care one properly, eat more, now that's a good idea. I'll see what I can do.

  12. Lots of nice "love" themed things this week. I am glad to know that your beer was a stamp. I was beginning to feel quite the failure LOL! Hope your snow stops soon!

  13. I love your non-traditional hearts! Me and my friend from fast assignment help - fast assignment writing think that they can be a wonderful alternative to traditional red hearts.

  15. Love all the hearts and love expressed with so many different colors, themes and moods! I noticed that your Art Prompts hearts are cut-outs of the botany of tamarisk, a plant that our fair state cannot handle. It was transplanted here from Egypt and it grows virulently. And you made it look so pretty! I know, too much information! Sending warmth and sunshine! Cheryl
