Hello Friend!

Summer Journal

We are at the midway inspiration for the January Challenge at Path of Positivity.  The optional twist this month is Inspired by Word Collage

The outside cover showing the Word Collage by A Matter of Moments that inspired me:

The inside cover with a flap pocket on the side to add some bits and pieces.  The images are by PaperCrafting World, Scrap Happy Paper Crafter and A Day For Daisies

The "Watermelon" spread with images by unknown (if anyone recognizes the one on the top left leave me a comment with the source and I'll amend my post), Whimsie Doodles, Imagine That and Doodle Pantry.

The Flip-Flop (known as Jandals in NZ) pages using images by Newton's Nook, Just Some Lines, Neat and Tangled, Scrap Happy Paper Crafter, Create with TLC and DZ Doodles

The Pool Party pages using images by Fresh Brewed Designs, Flat Friends, Diddy Bags, Bugaboo, Platypus Creek and KennyK Stamps.

The popsicle page ( I'm not a fan of ice-blocks so my page is ice-creams instead) using images by AJ's Digital, Delicious Doodles, The Stamping Chef, Avadares and Janes Doodles

Buttteflies and Ladybugs pages:

Road Trip Pages inside the back cover.  Again there is a pocket to slide in some memories from our road trip.  The images are from Doodle Pantry, Anji's Antics and Market St Stamps.

Classic Design Open Challenge - January Challenge
https://classicdesignchallenge.blogspot.com/2023/01/classic-design-challenge-january-2023-1.html

I have used several digital papers from PixelScrapper and also one from Lozzy.  I need to add the sources of the digital images.  I had written them down as I worked on the journal but I've mis-placed the list so need to find where I put it.

Coloring is with copic markers.

Keep Life Simple

It is time for the start of the November Challenge at Path of Positivity.  This month, we Celebrate the Simple Things In Life.   My card celebrates bird sound, fragrance of flowers and reading,

There is always something to be thankful for

We are midway through the thankfulness challenge at Path Of Positivity.  This month we are sponsored by A Day For Daisies and Scribbles Designs.

I have used an image from A Day For Daisies which I think is called Almost There.  The store is currently down for maintenance so I can't check that the image name is correct.

I also used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I die-cut a treble clef from silver cardstock using a Memory Box die.  I added a digital sentiment from A Piece of Heart.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch
http://sweetsketchwednesday2.blogspot.com/2018/11/sketch-150-with-day-for-daisies.html

I have used a paper from a looseleaf paper pack.  I used some gold cardstock for the small diamonds.  The remainder of the gold is Peelcraft border stickers.  The image is from A Day For Daisies and is coloured with copic markers.  I used the same two colours that I used for the rose in the image (R35 and R32) to colour the white ribbon roses.

Make Your Own Background

The challenge at Incy Wincy Designs this fortnight is to create your own background.  The challenge is sponsored by A Day For Daisies.

I recently went to a craft fair and one of the make n takes was creating a background using Distress Oxides.  It was so fun to do I decided that I would use that same technique again.

The image that I have used comes from A Day For Daisies.

I have used three colours of Distress Oxides onto plastic and sprayed with water.  I then put white cardstock on to the plastic, turned it upside down an smooshed it around with my fingers.  Each one comes out so different.  I matted it onto gold before attaching to the card.  I added some pink ribbon across the card under the image.  The image has been coloured with copic markers and Wink Of Stella.  I inked around the edge of the image with a gold coloured copic marker.
