Good Wednesday Morning Ladies,
Yesterday just flew by, I had an ok night all things considered, the pain was more bearable thankfully. I was tired but I think that was down to not sleeping the night before. I had relaxed day, I made a quick journal page for today's blog, we then went to get our hair cut, which was much needed as I haven't had my hair done since before the wedding! So my hair is now back to being evenly coloured and a bit shorter, it feels good though.
I feel like today's 'Reminder' is meant for me, its a word that people will use if they are a little bit stressed over something, sadly it's not as simple as that, true anxiety is so debilitating, you overthink absolutely everything, anytime anyone is late or you don't get an answer if you call your brain just creates the worst scenarios you can imagine, despite knowing its irrational you can't convince your brain otherwise. Its the same when it comes to diagnosing and waiting for results, my brain seems to wait until I am in bed, when everyone is asleep and then it kicks in!!!
So today's journal page was a quick one, I used a favourite technique of Vicky P, which is to apply paint using a wet wipe.....
I added some splatters of the darker paint too. Next came adding some white paint with dry brush and some stamping..
Oh then some stencilling too.
The fun part is always picking out the diecuts and arranging them on the background, I inked around each element, punched a hole in the tag and added an eyelet and some twine, I sat the lady on the tag and added some die cut leaves and flowers around them. Lastly I added the 'plasterboard tape' which gives some lovely texture and interest. I sentiment and some white splatters finish the page.
Today we have another busy day, the girls and I need to pop into Witney, then we are sitting to plan our 'itinerary ' for tomorrow and Friday, then we need to go pick our car up as it has been in the garage, getting shock absorbers and something else related to that mostly due to the terrible state of our roads!
I hope that you all have a good day, stay warm as those temperatures seem to be a lot lower today.
Love and hugs to all,
Sandra xxx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteI love your journal page and the technique of applying the paint 😍
Today’s reminder is so true 🥰

Have a good day everyone
Sending hugs to you all xx
Another lovely page I’m so pleased you were able to get to your craft desk and got out too Fresh air is a great healer
ReplyDeleteOff to get nails done now and hair later this morning
Take care everyone xx
Hi Sandra and everyone looking in. Both yesterday and today’s pages are lovely. I particularly love how you have used a tag on the tag. It crossed my mind that if I had told you 10 years ago that you would be using plasterboard tape on a card/page we wouldn’t have believed it would we 😁 I hope you have a good time deciding what you will do and when while you are away. Hope the pain is less today my lovely xx
ReplyDeleteI had a migraine yesterday so nothing got done. I need to get my haircut today and maybe a bit of shopping.
I hope you all have a good day and have the same lovely blue sky that we have here 😍
Take care. Love Sue xx
Hi, at last it’s dry, although more rain is expected tomorrow. Luckily we live on a hill, so no trouble with flooding, although the drive gets a Huge pool of water as it doesn’t drain away fast enough.
ReplyDeleteI did write a comment yesterday, but it seems to have disappeared.
Glad you are feeling better.
Your journal pages are really great. I must practice my backgrounds.
Have a good day all.
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous journal page. If time lets me and we are not going anywhere I will be crafting tomorrow so will try my hands on making a journal or something.....🤭🥴
We went to a garden centre today outside MK, about 30 minutes away. Didn't bother to go to Hobbycraft that is there tho for it was really sad last time.
Sue, hope you had a better day.
Sandra, hope you are alright and did something nice with the girls.
Brenda, have they let you go home yet ? Take care
Lilian, hope you are ok and your greenhouse is alright with all these storms.
Karen, have fun going dancing and to your craft tea's
Sonia, nice photo of you and Mark. Hope he had a nice birthday.
Many warm hugs to you all , Maria xx
Another lovely journal page and the colours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt’s been a funny day here today definitely had my ups and downs! I was told I could probably go home if they could sort out a nurse to come in twice a day. (John was here at the time) also, would I like someone to pick me up or they could arrange transport. John piped up the house has been empty for over two weeks. “There’s no heating been on because I’ve been staying over at Debbie‘s” Anyway……Problem solved Debbie is going to take John back home. Julie will have driven there earlier and put the heating on and I am being taken home by ambulance. Phew!!!!
I will talk to you tomorrow when I'm back home . Sleep well. Love Brenda xxx
