Happy Boxing day and ready for 2015!!

 

Hello everyone and a very Merry Christmas to you all. I hope you have all had a lovely time.

So it will soon be time to start a new Calendar Journal for 2015 and this is the page I have prepared ready for it.
I was really wishing when I was doing this page that I may see some of the white stuff!! However I have just looked out of my window and YES it is snowing. My festive season is now complete for me as I love snow!

I probably will not be around much now until after the holidays so I will take this opportunity  to wish you all a very Happy New Year and see you all again in 2015!!!!

Thank you for all your lovely support and comments throughout this year and your following of my work. I so much appreciate you visiting and have made some wonderful friends from blogland.

See you all soon

Smile...

 

Hello everyone and hope your all well. Not long to go now until the festive day is here and I can see the days getting busier for me!!!

 

Anyway allowing myself a bit of play time in between and this week over at the Stampotique designers Blog challenge it is "Anything Goes"

 

I have been playing in my journal and I have used a Daniel Torrente stamp for my image. I love his little heart he wears.

The quote is from Dylusions which I thought fitted him well.

 

This is for challenge:

Journal 52- Newsprint

 

Hello everyone and hope your all ok.

 

I am catching up on a few of the journal 52 projects which I never managed to do before the end of the year and a new one starts!!

 

This is for the prompt week 37-Newsprint. I had a new stamp from Christy Tomlinson of a newsprint image. I stamped it onto a scanned background of mine and cut out some circles. I like the way when you add them to a page it really breaks up the background if it looks a little busy!!!

The main image is from Tumblefish Studios.

 

Thank you all for stopping  by today and see you all later

Create Your own Special Style -Journal 52

 

Hello everyone and hope your all ok. Weather is calming down here now after the winds and hailstorms.

 

I have given myself a bit of time in my craft room. I was missing having a few moments to myself and it is so easy at this time of year to get caught up with other things!!!

 

I am playing a bit of catch up with Journal 52 and this is for week 47- Wise Words

"Create Your own Style" we all have one and sometimes for some it is just finding what suits you.

 

The image is using one of the Dina Wakley stencils and black paint. I then went back in with a Dylusions number stencil and white paint.

 

Thanks for stopping b y today and visiting. Hope your all managing to find some time to yourselves as the festive season will be upon us very shortly!!

 

See you all soon

It's Wednesday and time for the catch up of all our desks and projects. Mine is messy today and I am working on a tag although it's taking me longer than I thought-but Rome wasn't built in a day so they say!!!!!

 

Here is the link to WOYWDW and looking forward to catching up with you all.

 

And here are a few pics of my Christmas decorations at home.
