Good Monday Morning Ladies,
Welcome December and welcome to the start of a new week!
Do you ever have one of those 'why do I bother ' days, I finished the journal page that I am sharing with you today. I started another page 3 times and then gave up! Then I followed a Tracy Evans tutorial almost to the end was pleased with my achievement, I was on the phone to matt and getting Christmas shopping tips from Sophie at the same time, which was a recipe for disaster, the finishing piece was stamping an Owl on a sign post, of course I stamped it upside down, tried to rescue it but it wasn't happening! 😔 At that point I switched my desk lights off and walked away!
I used Vintage Photo & Festive Berries Oxide Spray inks and then dried with heat tool. I splattered some water over the background to add interest, then added some background stamping. To add some sparkle I added some stars, using Tim Holtz stencil and some gold glitter paste (although the gold glitter was hiding) 🤣, it did add some shine though.
Onto the fun part, picking out all of the elements to build the focal piece. I chose 3 main pieces and then added a ticket and cut a stripey label in half and added a bit to top and bottom. Then came the Santa and the poinsettia and little 25 sticker. The final touch was the splatters and the little sentiment.
I hope that you all have a great start to your week,
Love & huge hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLove your journal page and the jolly Santa 😍
Hope you’re starting to feel better and you got some sleep last night 🥰
Wet and windy here today, only took Barney for a short walk. Back home in the warm with the heating back on.
Hope you all had a good weekend and have a good day whatever you’re doing.
Sending hugs to you all xx
I hope you are beginning to feel better
ReplyDeleteThe journal page is lovely Don’t know where this ephemera is from but just to say I watched an Arden (Create is it?) on HobbyMaker yesterday Was interesting but some of it seemed very expensive eg their cardstock
Having my treat of a cannoli and cappuccino before Createa starts The weather is miserable but could be worse I suppose
Happy Birthday Gina xx
Take care everyone xx
Not sure where my original comment went
ReplyDeleteLove the pages Just got back from Craftea and had lunch Blood sugars a bit low - need to go and sort that
Take care everyone xx
Hi Sandra and everyone. I do hope that you are starting to feel a bit better now. Such a shame after a lovely day. I can’t imagine just how exhausted you must have felt on Saturday with the added pain of the UTI.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards and pages over the weekend and some great shopping.
I love this Father Christmas 🥰 I can imagine your frustration/anger at your stamping mishap!
How can it be December already!
We had a fabulous time over the weekend with all of the grandchildren. As always they had a lovely time decorating the tree. It always brings tears of joy to my eyes watching them carefully choosing certain decorations or finding them for each other as they have several that a particular grandchild puts on. We also played Pass the Santa and had an extra toppings waffle breakfast prepped and cooked by Chris and Paige. Each year I am grateful that Phoebe still wants to be with us rather than working. Luckily her boss is very good about family commitments.
I had another failed blood test this morning. Two phlebotomy nurses tried 7 times between them but my veins just don’t play nicely. I’m back again for another attempt on Friday so 🤞🏻After some shopping I was worn out by the time I got home. I hope you all sleep well. Take care. Love Sue xx
Love the journal page, it really is a lovely seasonal scene, although I cant believe how quickly christmas is creeping up on us.
ReplyDeleteHad a restful day today after spending yesterday with the family in Essex.
Sandra i hope you had a good night and are feeling better.
Take care everyone and sleep well. Love Brenda xxx
