It's two, two, two…..

A 'two-fer' today as I haven't shown you my calendar pages for October or my finished ones for September

 I had already made the background and stuck on the journalling spots but hadn't decided how to continue….I had in mind Autumn leaves and thought I would wait until I had been to Port Sunny to finish it! So pleased that I did - Paper Artsy have these fab stamps out - designed by Elenazinski Art - I bought one set but so wish I bought both now….maybe later in the month…! You will also have to wait until later in the month to see what these two monsters are going to get up to! At the moment they are standing on a few drawn and coloured early Autumn leaves. The background is Distress inks and then I 'lifted' the colour by using a baby wipe through a stencil.

As you can see September was another busy month - we have enjoyed having some time at home and the flat is looking a little tidier too!

It's also time for joining Elizabeth for a Second look on the 2nd

Quite appropriate as yesterday I was dashing out to pick up two friends as we were headed for The Happy Stampers show at Port Sunlight. Here are Sarah and Helen at the end of the day….

….don't they look happy with their purchases?

This Second Look on the 2nd post is from the end of September 2012

Another page from my journal

Yet another greyish day and I was talking to someone this morning who said there's more to come - Oh! No!

Still tomorrow I'm off to Port Sunlight for a day out and at Happy Stampers with my friend Sarah! 

Just thought I'd show you another page from my journal

The image was from Digital Two for Tuesday and it just seemed to fit in with a song in my head.The background was already in my book and I coloured the image with distress markers. Then, strangely, while looking through a quotation book two or three days later I found that this particular part of the lyrics(sung by George Harrison) were originally by no other than Lewis Carrol! 

So, lunch and then off to shop - can't leave hubby without some treats tomorrow!

My art journalling has had some ups and downs over the years but I still enjoy losing myself in experimenting and playing in my journals.

I'll be around with photos of Port Sunlight later in the week and you can see who we met up with!

Thanks for looking, Chris
