Let's December Daily and Sketches in Thyme Project Life style........



Over at Let's December Daily,  I have shown some of my page preparations. Here's a sneaky peak of what I have done ..........


Not long to go now until December 1...........can't wait.  We would love for you to join us at Let's December Daily.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------





For November's weekly sketches at Sketches in Thyme PL Style, I've stuck pretty much to the same paper bits to make a set of 4 cards.  They'll all blend nicely onto a "pocket scrapbooking" page/s.  I'm really enjoying these little sketches.

Sketch # 4........


                                                


and my take on it............

Sketches in Thyme PL style, Frosty Festivities & LDD...........

Inspired by sketch 3 for November at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style,  another card for pocket scrapbooking.   I'm finding these little sketches great inspiration to make some cards ahead of time.

Sketch # 3 looks like this........


 and my 3 x 4 card......


------------------------------------------------------------------------



Over at Frosty Festivities blog event 2015 some great inspiration here.  I made a little tag inspired by Jennifer Grace's gorgeous little notebook cover.   The use of the triangles was where I was headed and now I see I've also used 4 shades of green unintentionally which was another challenge to be inspired by.  It must have been lodged in the back of my brain somewhere lol.



--------------------------------------------------------------------





I have finished my  cover for this year's December Daily which I just can't wait to start on.  Here's a sneak peak of it............Pop on over to Let's December Daily to join in on the fun.  We would love for you to join us and share your December Daily journey.

Jennifer Grace's Frosty Festivities.........

I've been making some more little cards and a tag inspired by 2015 Frosty Festivities.

This card was inspired by Jennifer Graces snowman earrings to make a paper pieced snowman.



and another one inspired by this gorgeous little sign post.......I've used some tiny red craft sticks for this but unfortunately no matter how much gesso/paint I put on it to colour the white parts, the red kept bleeding through SO I have have a red and pink sign post. (and a messy one at that).




and this tag was inspired by these cute little village candle houses


So I have a set of matching cards/tag for some pocket scrapbooking over Christmas.......

If you are making or have made or are just thinking of making a December Daily, we would love for you to join us

Frosty Festivities 2015 Blog event.........

Playing along with the Frosty Festivities at Jennifer Grace Creates.   Oh what fun.........Just look at this cute little elf.  Well I just had to try one, then 2 then 3 of them.  I don't think mine have turned out quite as cute looking as Jennifer Grace's.  I think one of them looks a bit of a meanie actually.  Anyhoo,  I had a ball making them. I found the first one a little bit fiddly to do (that's the mean one in the middle lol) but once I'd done one, well I just kept on going.




and then it was onto using this gorgeous star template.  I printed it out onto water colour paper.  Two of the stars are from patterned paper with a watercoloured border and the others are water coloured.  This is an 8 x 8 page (another title page for another of the Grandie's Christmas album).  All of the little stamped stars are coloured with kindy glitz although hard to see - it's on the "christmas" and the background as well.


Sketches in Thyme PL Style...........

I do love making my own cards for pocket scrapbooking which is what I mainly seem to do these days.  So I've been playing along with Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style who provide weekly sketches to be inspired by.



for Week 1's sketch...........

I've made a 6 x 4.......




and for week 2...........



a 3 x 4 to match...... 


I've really enjoyed playing with these sketches.......kept pretty much to the sketches for these ones.


-------------------------------------------------


I'm also looking forward to getting into my December Daily come Dec 1 (not too far away now).  You can join us at Let's December Daily.  We would love to see your plans for this year and previous December Dailys you have created.

Jennifer Grace's Frosty Festivities..........

Playing along with Frosty Festivities 2015 blog event and being inspired by Jennifer Grace's tag ,  I've made a set of cards (4 x 6 and 3 x 4's) for the divided sleeves (pocket scrapbooking) using a division of busy patterned paper and plain.  I'm sure these pre -made cards will come in very handy during the busy season to get some Christmas pages done.

ARTastic..............

November's inspirational art work at ARTastic is super gorgeous and very inspiring.

This is called Weeds and is by Emma Uber -  isn't it beautiful.

Take inspiration from it to create and also use flowers on your work.

 

I've had a play in my art journal and being inspired by the title of the artwork I've used a quote from Eeyore (AAMilne)............
