A CHRISTMAS PAGE

I was at AFTH last Sunday 22nd Dec , it was journalling for regulars and this is the page that Dyan chose for us to do.Basically we had to do a multi layered page using the Dylusions star stencil, I used the ghosting technique which is a Dyan speciallity, spraying through the stencil, embossing paste through the stencil which gives a lovely raised effect and paint through the stencil. We were then given a sheet of card and had to write about Christmas using the full page, we then chose different colours and sprayed the page using Dylusion sprays. On the reverse side we drew lots of stars through the stencil abd then cut them out we then gave one of our own stars to everyone in the class so we had a combination of our own stars and the gifted ones, brill idea these were glued on to our page, I doodled on mine, cut out some snowflakes and added a cut out tree from one of Dyan's

stencils. I had a lovely day and really, really enjoyed making this page.
I hope all my blogging friends have had a wonderful Christmas, I am enjoying a relaxing Boxing day having a good play with all my arty stuff and getting painty and messy.

FLYING TIME

OMG time really does fly I can't believe we are into December already, when you are a child time goes real slow but as an adult it's too fast. I actually had my calendar page ready on time but haven't had time to post it until today, it's my busy social life which interferes with getting things done in fact I ran out of time and did this page really quickly I'm not mad keen on it but it will have to do. I have been with Kate's challenge

from the beginning and have kept up so I am quite proud of that. I always think I will take my time and do things properly with lots of planning but............... Well here it is Christmasy if nothing else.

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.
