I had gone to my craft room to potter so that I could go through a 'going to bed routine' again. While I was there I decided to look through some old journals but stopped when I came to the Garden Journal. As I had been sorting scraps there were some sorted into colours so this page was made just by looking through these.
I stuck some down at the time but then doodled on the infusions scrap and added some chit chat words during Sunday.
By restricting what I did to just using what I could reach I felt settled very quickly and went back to bed….and slept!
The flower stamp is from Woodware and was leftover from a card I made a while ago!
I would like to join in with Erika's 'Tell Me a Story' theme at Art Journal Journey as this page tells the story of my interrupted night.
Thanks for looking, Chrisx
I love the beautiful layering and the harmony of colors here!

It's beautiful Chris and it is inspirational that you could create this at a time when you could not settle to sleep. Isn't it wonderful that this time spent creating settled your mind.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful page and a beautiful way to honour your and remember your Dad.
Chris, thank you for the visits to my blog. I am so lucky to have you and other art friends who take the time out of your day - I appreciate it so much and desperate to get back to a "schedule" where my life will allow me to visit blogs on a regular basis.
Have a lovely weekend.

I think I need to try crafting when I can't sleep. It was a successful visit to the happy place since you were able later to go back to sleep and you made a fantastic page Chris. I love the brown bag background and the blue-wow-it makes that color pop. Glad you joined us at AJJ and shared some of this wonderful journal. My dad was a gardening guy himself and reading this made me think of him. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour night time crafting is incredible. I would never get that great page from just looking through my scraps and leftovers. This is NOT a simple page, but one of beauty and harmony.
ReplyDeleteI love this journal page Chris - the design is wonderful and the different prints seem to add a lacy texture! I really love your desgin work here - fabulous and I like it being on kraft paper too.
