True

I saw this recently and it struck a chord!

And yet more catchups

I could not resist adding another "shoe" page to DLP- made from a free sheet of paper, the 2 large shoes & the boot are all from old birthday cards and the smaller ones are on recycled ATCs

Yes! I do like shoes...but ironically, I prefer to be barefoot from choice - must be something to do with all my years in the middle east :-)

My second page is for Journal 52: refresh

A bright sheet of random magazine paper,  some leftover washi tape, some paper with oil pastel blocks of colour that has been stencilled over the top of using distress ink. The tea pot came as a topper with a magazine. I've added a few of my coloured & stamped stickers as well.

DLP 7 and 14

I'm still catching up...between sleeping in (08.20!) having breakfast, walking the dog, a spot of gardening, mailing Bills medical claim, having lunch, going to Aberdeen so Bill could see the hip consultant, driving home (now I know why my shoulder is so sore:-(!) and having a couple of glasses of wine in the sunshine in the back garden I managed to finish 2 more pages!!!

Week 7 take a shape, repeat it & colour

Week 14 decorate your name

I used some chipboard letters that I've had for ages, coated with gesso then distress paint (persimmon) I've doodled the shape with the letter using a sharpie pen (s on S, a on A etc) the background is a mixture of distress stains, embossing paste, stencilling, a little treasure copper.

I added some recycled flowers and some tattered garland leaves.

My washi is masking tape coloured with a spectrum noire pen & stamped with a couple of rubber stampede leaf stamps using DI walnut stain.

Implausible

Every inchie Monday's new theme nearly had me stumped!

I eventually got there after a rummage in my bits & pieces and thanks to an article in our local paper all about Scotland's famous Nessie - the Loch Ness monster :-) apparently she's not been seen for 11 years!!!!! No wonder, I found her hiding in my craft room :-D

So here is my share for this week...

DLP 10,11 and 12

More catch ups, I'm on a roll!

Page 10 make a list of the things that make you YOU

a stencilled background & a Chocolate Baroque mini stamp border done with DI (squeezed lemonade & mowed lawn) 

Page 11 add a bird 

I had a sheet of 6x6 pink Paislee (golden jubilee) that's been sitting around for a while & now it's found a home :-) I stamped a golden cage & "be free" from a recent set of free stamps and added a little blue bird that came from an advert- the tracks at the top/bottom of the page were also a free stamp

Next up and it's #12 page from a magazine it's from STELLA (feb14 Sunday telegraph) with bright spring colours . I've done book page washi tape (DI mustard seed) a couple of button dimensional stickers & one of my created one from yesterday (enjoy life)

More catch ups

Page 3 at DLP  is add an envelope from the mail

I've not had any all week so I chose to add an addressed one that never got sent + some mini envelopes I made ages ago

Then I stuck some off cuts on the back of another page where the ink had bled through 

DLP 5 is added a doodled border so I did something to match the Journal 52 page

And the reverse is facing lost art of love letters so I've used woven paper strips, random heart stickers & some stamping (Paper Artsy)

And then I could not resist adding another party animal

Now I'm decorating sticky labels!!!!

Documented life project catch up

Page 1 my front door

Poetic licence for this one... A chocolate baroque stamp for the front door of that villa in Italy that I dream of!

Page 2 selfie

I hate to have my picture taken & rarely have any photos of myself to share but I took this one just after Bill came back to the chalet so it's getting put in the journal. The home made washi tape was the right colour :-)
