Playtime!

We came back from the caravan yesterday, quite late, instead of today as we haven't been to church for a while! 
I was pleased we did as it was an uplifting service.

I am still trying to get back to some crafting for fun, the first three days of last week were all about Messy Day!(more soon!)and then we decided to go away for a couple of days even though we hadn't planned to.

This afternoon I decided to make some preparations for our holiday in September. My travel journal needed tidying up, French items removed...for now, and some more papers added!

I decided to make some master boards for ripping, cutting,and punching....to add to some I had made a few weeks ago

 ...and from here I went on to attempt a five minute page...it went over mainly because all of my glues were clogged up, and actually went to around six and a half minutes.
I am still quite happy with it though as I could use my 'new' papers.

Some spattered paper, stamping and as you can see I cut out some Brigit Koopsen leaves to become trees! I drew in some ground for them and stamped the words (from a stand at Version Scrap)

I 'count my blessings' for Elizabeth's theme at Art Journal Journey for encouraging words and time to play!

I am also entering this at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Sprinkles and Spatters

Thanks for looking, Chris
