Getting there

I've managed to complete a few more pages....

Here's the DLP tissue pages....

I've used  section of paper napkin over stamped with drips in hickory smoke, added 3 umbrellas & a doodled border.

The other half is typed tissue paper, pumpkins from a paper napkin glued down with glue n seal

Also for DLP velum/ sheer genius

I'm not really into velum so I scratched around to see what I had in my stash....

And found a small sheet of pink that I've placed over the seepage from the previous week, some tracing paper that has been through the cuttlebug in a "Swiss dots" folder, a butterfly coloured on the reverse with promarkers that was in some happy mail & an ATC that I received from a friend back in 2010.

The other half has some distress ink stencilling in spun sugar, tattered rose & Victorian velvet. A piece of velum with gold printing that has some lines dry embossed into it & a small piece which has some gold embossing that was another happy mail piece.  It was a struggle but I managed to keep to the required elements which is more than one of the design team had done!

A final share...journal 52 fairytale.

I received this as a piece of happy mail, the reverse had a load of oriental script on it, not a clue what it's all about but looks like a children's book so I've gone with writing the beginnings of my very own tale!

See you all again soon....

Busy bee

Got me some more pages to share...

Autumn created with an image from the bottom of Mt Washington that I've done some digital work to, skeleton & silk leaves and a hand written poem.

Pink October where I've used an image that a friend shared on Facebook 

These are both from Positiv journal.

I also got 1 page finished for DLP the storyboard week

I have had these little frames for ages.... A ball sticker to represent the "homecoming" football match at the local high school, a beer ticket for the brewfest, a music sticker for our trip to the Ogunquit Playhouse where we saw the last performance of the last show of the summer season of Saturday night fever and also the lunar eclipse!, a small map of an area of the Maine sea coast showing Boothbay where we had a lovely day out visiting a wonderful gallery ( bought a moose made of stone & iron) and also a splendid coastal garden filled with some amazing sculptures, a logo from my till receipt - my day shopping at the Maine Mall, a pumpkin for visit to the Cumberland Fair and finally the apple logo from the band enclosing my cutlery/ napkin that is for our lunch at the local branch of Applebee's.

I'm catching up :-)

Hello!

I'm back from my travels and raring to go....

I'm a few weeks behind on all journal challenges but no sweat, I'll catch up

Journal 52 I am / trees (started) / fairy tales / masks (done)

I've used a new stencil & DI in shaded lilac, dusty concord, shaded lilac, vintage photo, 2 ATCs and a topper and a metal mask that's been run through the cuttlebug to flatten it somewhat!

DLP silhouettes / storyboard - a week in the life / deli paper - you had me at hello / tissue paper - the disappearing trick / velum - sheer genius. These all remain unstarted but I've got ideas.

Positiv journal pécher mignon / autumn / pink October. The last 2 have been started.

On the inchie front... I missed posting my hotel, 

lumberjack, a piece from an old lumberjack shirt!

 and I'm very late with key

And here's the companion ATC 

I'll return with more soon!

Yikes

I simply cannot believe it's only 3 months to Christmas! I'm reasonably organised on the card front and have a few here for the Rudolph challenge 

These got put together with scraps from my desk, I was tidying up before coming over to the USA for a holiday with the family. Tonight we are off to watch the "homecoming football " match, Saturday is Lakes Brewfest for the grown ups then Sunday we are being treated to "Saturday night Fever" after having a house full for Football Sunday (American Football) so a busy weekend.

See you all with some more creations soon..... 

Latest...

So we flew across the pond on Sunday ....shopped yesterday....yeay! I got a gelli plate to play with on my return home, some Tim holtz stuff & other fun items.... This morning I got to draw a dinosaur with my grandson at the breakfast table but I think I'll refrain from sharing as it's pretty pathetic!

I managed to put together a quick page for journal 52- calendar

A free calendar, some stencilling, a motif cut from an adult colouring book. The desk at home is cleared so I had to make it be fast & simple....

Every chief Monday was a real challenge, MYTH here is where it took me...

Yep! I failed miserably this week to find anything suitable :-(

For my ATC I did slightly better

I'm off out for the day so I'll see what I can come up with for next weeks challenge...

Friends

Our latest theme for positiv journal is friends...

Some paper from my stash, sizzlits used on 2 corners, the image was a card received from a friend that was hanging on the display in front of me & seemed perfect for the occasion.

Patricia & Sabine are my 2 oldest friends from primary school days, they both came from Paris & their parents were diplomats. We were all in the same class in Libya and though we've not met up since 1967 we have remained in touch & occasionally speak on the phone. One lives in France & works for the government whilst the other is now living in Washington state. Who knows when we will meet again...

Monday

So where did last week go? One day it was Monday and a challenge of ear then I blinked....did a couple of journal challenges which involved some digital fun, see 

 http://krazyjaynes.blogspot.com/2015/09/digital-imagery.html for that one if you're interested) for DLP & I also did some inky creating for journal 52 that's covered in http://krazyjaynes.blogspot.com/2015/09/hope.html - I also started taking part in 365 days of journaling dangerously (glutton for punishment) 

Here are 3 of the posts....

And now it's Monday again and.....drum roll please.....we have a new theme for our inchie rhythm so without further ado here is the inchie....Stamping on a scrap with some plastic musical pieces

And the ATC, another scrap, stamp ( inkadinkadoo) peel-offs another plastic topper and some hand doodling
