Busy

An inchie to start us off...

Our theme this week....Galaxy.

Art Prompt Weekly I've chosen to do in an ATC format and there the subject is words/fonts

Kraft card, assortment of stamps & white embossing powder.

Journal 52's final prompt for 2015 was gratitude 

Distress ink on an acrylic block, then stencilling then handwriting (Uniball 0.1)

And the first one for 2016 is word for the year...seems quite a few of us have chosen this one or a variation of it!

Stencil for the border, numbers & letters, stamps for the background ( the mosaic type square is actually made from small squares of rubber off cuts!)

I have started work on my DLP un-planner but that share will have to wait for another day. In the mean time I thought I'd share some pictures of the local flooding, you may have seen some of the Ballater floods on the national (uk) news.

These first two are taken adjacent to the bridge over the river Dee near Crathes just to the east of Banchory.

This is usually a small "burn" that feeds into the Dee and this is where the ford is!

In this one the river has come up far enough to flood the children's play park. Two of the gift shops have had to close as they were flooded the other day, we are on our third consecutive day of non stop rain and the forecast is for it to continue for another 3/4 days.

We are hoping that Aberfeldie Castle which is beside the queens estate of Balmoral will not get swept away but it's not looking too promising, their footbridge (suspension) across the river has already gone.

Fingers crossed that the water stops soon.....
