Christmas cards - batch 3

Christmas cards - batch 2

Christmas cards - batch 1

I'm not sure whether I am very organised or just mad, but I've been making Christmas cards! As we send so many, my approach to this is different to making birthday cards etc. I create a simple design, that can be varied a little, but which I can make in bulk. It's fun and also saves money!

The theme for week 39 was 'splatters & drips'. Can you tell?!

My Documented Life - week 38

It is getting quite hard to photograph my journal now. It is so fat the pages don't sit flat anymore!

The prompt for week 38 was to 'draw, paint, doodle, sketch or incorporate a real feather onto your page'.

My Documented Life - weeks 36 & 37

Prompt for week 36: black & white.

Prompt for week 37: use a white pen predominantly on your page.

Tag Book

I got the inspiration for this tag book from a post by Anneke De Clerck on the PaperArtsy blog (23.9.14). I used a large tag and, having folded it, I used PaperArtsy Fresco paints and masking tape to create the background of the cover. I then stamped some flowers and the quote on top and added the white dots using an acrylic paint pen.

Art Journal Caravan - week 36

All the themes for September will be focused around 'water and rain'. Here's the first of the series.

Two tags

I decorated these tags using acrylic paint and acrylic paint pens.

My Documented Life - week 35

The instructions for week 35 was to 'draw, sketch, paint, doodle a face or cut or alter one from a book or magazine'. Well, you can see what I decided to do!

My Documented Life - week 34

For this page we had to 'fill the page with numbers that relate to your week'. Well, that week I  was on holiday in Yorkshire. I haven't exactly filled the page with numbers but they and the pictures all relate to my holiday. Happy memories!

Art Journal Caravan - week 35

The theme for week 35 was about awakenings.
