…and it's 1,2,2…...

First, it's 1 tag - for Tag Tuesday's 'The Beach' theme chosen by Joan.

I had a load of these sea side themed die cut images that I intended to use with my GD at the caravan - I also had a tag that had been inked with Distress ink and spritzed to give a sandy look. I had taken some mop up paper towel with me so I tore some off as a background! The words are from a Hunkydory set.When I got home these ribbons were mixed wth some others on my desk…as if they had been waiting for me!
Second is a page I made for Art Journal Journey and Moo Mania and more! 

Elizabeth's theme at AJJ is 'Summertime Love' and I was inspired by a post I saw on Elizabeths blog. I used a circular sponge to pick up and overlap distress ink colours before cutting it out.
I stamped the bicycle and added some doodling and some of the words of the Queen song! It's a long time since I rode my bike but it may get a dusting this Summer!
The theme at Moo Mania and More is Wheels 
The final 2 is a Second Look On The Second where I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth in sharing something you may or may not have seen depending on how long you have been visiting my blog.

My post is from July 2013

Wow! What a match that one was - at last we have a Wimbledon champion! That last game was a real edge of the seat one! Hurray for Andy Murray!
I've been playing with my little travel journal, not many more pages now - I've mainly been adding photos!

We've been sticking to our tasks of gardening and painting this week, helped by the lovely weather. Both garden and decking are looking a lot better! Unfortunately the weather has also produced a casualty - hubby was painting the other day and I was inside when a sudden crashing noise alerted us to a tree across the road that suddenly - no breeze - fell over!

 As you can see it very nearly hit a car that was parked in it's shade - fortunately the driver wasn't in the car but another car that was passing was given a fright! The tree was wrapped pretty well with ivy and I guess that's what caused it's demise!

The pages were from the journal I made on our first visit to my SIL's near Poitiers.

Now we home with a reasonable connection I and hoping to have little catch up! 

Thanks for looking! Chris
