A quick journal page

 

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
