Jiggy swap

Over on UKS we SS'ers are having a jiggy swap, these swaps tend to over run the finish date by a little ( or a lot lol) and I hold my hands up to being one of the the last to get my jigsaw pieces to Karen, but after a swift kick I got my rear into gear and finished my pieces. There are 12 of us and we each picked a different month of the year and decorated our pieces accordingly. Here are my finished pieces and I'm glad to say that Karen has received them :) I look forward to getting them all home and seeing what everyone else has created.

Lets get Messy Art Journal pages

I'm in an art journal circle journal over on UKS which I'm having loads of fun doing, the latest one was Karen's journal where she asked us to do a random page or double page and then sign in at the back of her book. I got a bit carried away (hope you don't mind Karen) and did a single page as well as a double page. It is a really great looking journal so far, I was reluctant to pass it on. On this first page I used paint and gesso, with some bits of book print and the image is from Tumble Fish Studio, this is my first time downloading images for art journal use and it was really easy to do :) On my 2nd page I used some of my Dylusion inks and stamps and I also used an image from Tumble Fish again.

You're having a laugh art CJ

Over on UKS I have joined another art journal CJ, this one is called You're having a Laugh, hosted by Gill. The theme I chose is Make me Laugh, any funny quotes,sayings or jokes can be used :) I have used an old notebook that I never got round to using, covered my page with some gesso, added some Dylusions inks, a few background stamps and my Stampotique stamp Karin, who I thought went well with my quote. My page is below and I look forward to seeing what everyone does with my theme.

Affirmations swap

Over on UKS I'm taking part in a positive affirmations postcard swap, hosted by the lovely Sian. This is my positive affirmation :)

It was also decided to do an alternative affirmation, all good fun:)

I look forward to seeing what I get back.

Christmas Mini Book swap

Ooopps!! it's been awhile since I have blogged yet again. I'm in another swap over on UKS, it's a mini book swap for Christmas, I have made 13 tag size pages with a Christmas theme and I'll get 12 different ones back including one of my own.

August Trendy Tags

This months theme was canvas and I really enjoyed it, I made my tags into sort of art journal type tag, well that is the way I describe it lol! I cut pieces of canvas and backed them onto a tag, to stiffen them up. I made 3 different ones using my new Stampotique stamps but all had the same theme 'be yourself' The first one I used acrylic paint for the background, the second one I used Dylusions Ink sprays and the third was a mixture of ink and paint.

I do hope my swappees like them, I really didn't want to give them away, I'm going to have to make some more for myself.

Catch Up

Oopps ment to come on here a few weeks ago and post my latest KISS art CJ page, so here it is better late than never, it was a page for Fatmonica and the theme was Journal your Journey, quotes about travel, I really likes this one I found when searching in the internet, hope you all like it too :) I used my Dylusions ink sprays, stamps and mask, I'm really loving all the Dylusions range, just need to wait till next pay day and I can get some more
