Silent sea Journal page

 


Good Wednesday Morning Ladies,  

Just a quick one today as I am feeling a little fragile as my BP decided to shoot up again yesterday afternoon,  I woke with a bad headache,  but just took paracetamol and got on with my day,  by mid afternoon I was struggling,  then around 5pm I started feeling really dizzy and sick and had to go lie on the bed,  tested my BP and it was 172/98 which is highest its been since the day i went to surgery,  I called GP and they advised me to take an extra Amlodipine and check my BP later in evening and early tomorrow morning and to call if it hadn't settled down.  

So today's Gentle Reminder is perfect for me ! 🤣

Today I am sharing the Silent Seas journal page I made on Monday,   I created the background by adding Grey and Blue paint to the watercolour paper and moving it around after drying it I added some splatters of the blue ink.  




I added some stamping and texture paste too. 

Then came the fun part,  building the focal point using die cuts and stickers and rub-ons. 


The rub ons from Stamperia are really amazing quality,  its hard to see but the brick work behind the window frame die cut is a rub in, they leave no shiny outline or anything. 

I chopped down a moon and added in the corner of the window frame and built up the die cuts etc on the outside.  I finished with some splatters. 

I am really pleased with this one x 

Maria, I am sorry to read that your Dad has had to have his other leg amputated,  it must be so hard for you being so far away my lovely,  sending you hugs xxx

I hope that you all have a great day, 

Love and hugs to all of you, 

Sandra xxx

    Hi everyone
    Wonderful journal page. The rub-ons are fabulous. With stickers you always see some bits don't you. Hope you feeling better today. Take it easy and try not too stress about anything even if it's not the easiest.
    One step it's what I do or one day at the moment.
    Thank you my friends. Well dad had it done yesterday and can you believe it, he was up for a bit in a wheelchair today already. I really hope that this is now for a while. Mum could go home today so that was good.
    We were meant to have seen sister in law yesterday but she was feeling weak so we have said we see them next week hopefully.
    This morning we went to a small village about 25 minutes from home down the Union canal. They have a museum there about the Canal and the lock system. It wasn't any longboat going through this morning but we have seen it before in the summer when it's busier.
    Back home we sat outside on the patio with an ice-cream. It felt so nice in the sunshine.
    I hope that you all had a lovely day with sunshine. Love and Hugs to you all xxx

    Lovely journal page, I love the blue tones they are perfect for this page. Sandra i hope your BP has settled down - if it hasn’t be sure to call your GP first thing tomorrow.
    Physio came this morning she took me for a walk down my road we then came back indoors and did I some stretching exercises, she will be back one Friday to repeat the exercise. Im not sure if that will be the end of my treatments. I feel very lucky to have had all the help I have been given.
    Hope your day was good, goodnight and sleep well, love Brenda xxx
