ON TIME WITH NOVEMBER

One more month to go and then I will have completed  4 years of Kate's Art Calendar challenge, yes I have been there from the beginning, hopefully I will continue into 2014. I used the Armistice and Rememberance day as my theme this month although you don't have to follow a theme, I hope you like it.

OCTOBER

I can't believe it is October already, where has this year gone to. I know they say as you get older time flies but this is ridiculous, anyway enough chat here is my October page for Kate's Art Calendar challenge. I did have it ready on time but forgot to post it on my blog!!!!

SEPTEMBER FINISHED

I didn't get around to blogging my September page of Kate's Art Calendar challenge mainly because I have been having problems with Blogger I couldn't post anything at all and then my Grand-daughter came along and changed everything to Google Chrome hey presto it works.Then I decided it was too late to post it so here is the finished version just to prove I am still taking part in the challenge.

ART CALENDAR CHALLENGE

August page was prepared well in advance but unfortunately I couldn't post it as something happened with blogger I was unable to post, link or add the photos. After a lot of fiddling around with various settings I am now hopefully able to post both July completed and August ready to go. There's still something not quite right but hey ho maybe one day.

ART CALENDAR JUNE &JULY

I didn't get around to blogging my June page of my art calendar (if you need to know what this is about check out The Kathryn Wheel) as I was late in actually preparing the page but here it is proof that I did do it and completed.
I was late with June but July I have had ready for a couple of weeks, I had to do as I have had so much on recently that again I would have had problems preparing it and next week I am away so needs must. The June page I didn't paint or spray I wanted a quick background so I stuck two sheets of paper on to the pages and joined them down the middle with washi tape, cut out the yellow journal squares and voila! July was done with the usual acrylic paints, inks, stencils and stamps.

FABBY WEEKEND

I have just spent a fab weekend. Friday I was at Art From The Heart journalling with the lovely and fantastically talented Dyan. I can't show you yet what we did as my pages are not finished, I will blog them at a later date.
Saturday saw me at The Craft Den in Sheffield, owned by the lovely Lynne, a fab shop stacked with wonderful paper crafting stuff and gorgeous fabrics for you peeps who sew.I was there for a workshop with the lovely and extremely talented Kate Crane. We were there to make a Junk Journal if you don't know what one of these is just take a look at Kate's (the kathryn wheel ) blog. I had a fantastic day with a great group of crafting ladies. Here is my front cover of the Junk Journal I haven't bound it together yet with the inside pages as I want to add a few things which is much easier before it is all put together with the Bind It All machine, so I may show you a few inside pages later.

GOODBYE APRIL AND HELLO MAY

Well that's another month gone, it's amazing where time goes to, maybe time flies more so when we are all involved in Kate's calendar challenge. I have kept up with April and have got my May page ready to go even if it wasn't ready for the 1st. This time for May I have used a 7Gypsies stamp which is not a normal stamp and unfortunately the dots on some of the days, smudged and blotted, so that is why I have leaves here and there to cover up the mess. The stamps I have used this time are all from Paper Artsy and designed by Jo Firth-Young, they are wonderful stamps I love them and have quite a few, well you need them don't you lol !
