Good Friday Morning Ladies,
Todays Gentle Reminder couldn't be truer, you, my dearly loved friends all deserve to be truly Happy! If I could wave a wand and make it happen, believe me I'd be waving it until my arms fell off ! 😘😂
I had one of 'those' days yesterday, I felt a little bit down, it happens to us all, we had plans, the girls wanted to go out for brunch, to garden centre and rhey also wanted to go to Hobbycraft, but I just couldn't summon the energy or the enthusiasm, so for fear of my mood affecting their day I said I'd stay home. Paul was out at work, so it felt like a long day, I just sat at my desk and crafted. I think I was mentally exhausted from being 'upbeat' for the girls birthday also. They went out and had a good couple of hours, Soph asked if as an alternative we could go for a coffee in Bourton, so that's today's plan as Paul is in work again today.
Today I am sharing a journal page that I made on Tuesday, it works for the Bird theme of the Aa&C Challenge. The background is made up of a piece of rice paper, cut up and rearranged and adhered with Rice paper glue, after that was dry I used Glitter Gold Embossing powder through a Stamperia stencil and heat set, I added a bit of stamping, then I adhered the Birdcage and the Canary, now you can learn from my mistake, I adhered the bird and cage with matt glue, which worked really well but took the glitter and shine off of the glitter embossing. I embellished with some flowers and a few white splatters !
I hope that you all have a lovely Friday,
Love and huge hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteA beautiful journal page, I love it 😍
We all deserve to be happy, a lovely reminder for us all ❤️
I’m sorry you weren’t up to going with the girls yesterday, I know what you mean about feeling down after being upbeat after an occasion 🥰 I hope you and Sophie enjoy your time in Bourton.
So today I’m hoping to craft, if I can get myself off of Pinterest 😂 I’ve spent hours looking for images and backgrounds to print out ready to craft with!
Have a good day everyone
Sending hugs to you all xx
Beautiful page and so apt for the challenge
ReplyDeleteYes, we all deserve to be happy but what’s that saying “we can never be happier than our unhappiest child” I hope that everyone’s children are happy too

Hello all, another wet day.
ReplyDeleteSandra , love your journal page ,it’s a lovely happy page.
My daughter and her husband are here for the weekend, so no crafting for me. Very sorry to not have anything for Sunday.
Will try and send you something at the beginning of the week.
We are having fish and chips this evening, so no cooking.
Have a good evening, Lilian
Hi Sandra and all.
ReplyDeleteA lovely journal page. I love the gold embossing. I wasn’t sure whether it was gold texture paste to start with. I’ve never seen specific rice paper glue but can you also use standard pvc type glues?
Sad to hear you couldn’t make it out yesterday but know how sometimes it just isn’t possible. You have been busy both physically and mentally haven’t you. Hope you managed to go to Bouton today with Soph though my lovely xx
Lilian, enjoy having family with you for a long weekend to celebrate R’s birthday xx
Have a good night everyone. Take care. Love Sue xx
