I came away with prepped backgrounds in my journals in an effort to keep what I need to bring down to a minimum but the bag still seemed to weigh a ton. Here is what I've managed to improvise
Journal 52. Full moon / Lunacy
Obviously I came away without a moon but I just happened to need to open a pack of Coffeemate and the seal is embossed foil! Moon sorted :-). I then wrote the lyrics to a song from my childhood that my mum loves : Full moon & empty arms. I know the Katerina Valente version although the most known seems to be by Frank Sinatra ( someone else mum was very partial to!). I filled the loops in my writing in with assorted coloured pens.
For Colour me positive : Believe in yourself and magic will happen.
More of the pod stencil, Tim Holtz CARGO stencil, I filled the letters in with metallic Derwent pencils.
Art Prompts Galore Circles are the order of the day!
Underpaper , Gelli print circles & added doodling took care of that one!
Inchie this week is Village
Assorted mop-up backgrounds & Tim Holtz blueprint stamps!
May the sun shine on you all & bring some joy.....see you again soon!
A fantastic selection Sally. please send some of that heat back here.

What a superb selection of cards and journalling Sally. V jealous of your holiday weather!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY RUDOLPH DAY to you.
Hugs, Sarn x
How nice to be able to enjoy warm sunshine while a lot of people are struggling with huge snowfalls. It's amazing what can be accomplished with minimal supplies. Nice journal pages. Your village as a silhouette is super too!
ReplyDeleteThese mop up backgrounds are so perfect with the Tim Holtz stamps you chose! Think I have that set too ...must open that package and try them as yours look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in the January Rudolph Challenge.
Great collection of cards and very different images, I really like them.

Some fabulous work Sally. I am so jealous of the weather you are having. It's howling a gale and raining here.
ReplyDeleteBeing in short sleeves sounds like heaven! I'm so ready for the warm weather to come back and winter to be a distant memory. Love, love, love your mixed media journal pages!! They look fabulous and bright. I also love your little village inchie Sally, how cut it is. And your Rudolph day card is fabulous, everything we associate Christmas/winter with is on your card. Never had to use snow shoes before though, but probably could use them here now! lol Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
ReplyDeletewhat great works of art, and wonderful designs too.
I remember once having a weekend holiday in Cornwall at the end of November, and the weather was so nice I sat outside on a veranda drinking coffee in a tee shirt.
How amazing is that for this country.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Love your little village.
ReplyDeleteso much lovelies! I love that you improvised the Moon on your first one!
ReplyDeleteSO many creations in one post ~ If I had to pick a fav it would be the "Believe in yourself" piece, so much positive encouragement! -K
ReplyDeleteSo inventive with your coffee lid moon! Love that you went with journals full of backgrounds - lots of great pages here - but I'm facing the travelling kit issue again soon, and I do sympathise with the heavy bag...
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmas cards - lovely subtle watercolouring - and cute little Village inchie.

Oh, and I forgot to say lucky you with the weather... definitely envious! x
ReplyDeleteAm so green, and I don't normally feel envy, but the time you have, the ability to be organised and take what you need with you, your weather and your scenery! Love your little inchie and enjoy it all because it's blowing a hooley here and bucketing down- you'd think we'd had enough wet stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love your gorgeous cards and the journal page too. Lucky you enjoying sunshine and high temps.

wow you have been busy! I admire all your work. Love your monochromatic village inchie - very classy. Envy your lovely weather- even here in Canada it is warm this winter - 2C today and no snow! Very unusual.
ReplyDeleteGood for you at such a jump start on your Christmas stash. Love the images and the colors you've used...It's a refreshing change to see the Christmas cards in the non-traditional colors, but still so festive. These could be framed & hung as a gallery! TFS
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creations!! Love your Christmas cards with the blue print stamps!! Love the backgrounds. Thanks for sharing your creation with us at Rudolph days Challenge.
