Fun in the garden

Hello everyone! 
We are both dashing around like mad things here having spent yesterday keeping appointments and then giving our son a night off to go out with his brothers! Only thing is - when we left his house just after 11 last night for what is usually a 20 minute drive the Motorway was shut and we had to detour so we weren't in until well after midnight!!!
We are off on a jolly tomorrow in Llandudno at the WOYWW crop so packing has started today for our trip next week.

I made this page at the beginning of the week for Yvonne's 'World Of Fantasy' theme at Art Journal Journey.
The background is Distress inks (my fave quick and easy style)
The rest is Paper Artsy Elena Zinsky stamps and part of a Dylusions quote. That poor bird is in trouble again!!
I coloured the images with a variety of colouring mediums.

I do appreciate your visits so much. 
I just hope I can be forgiven for not making many visits lately - time keeps getting away from me!!

Thanks for looking, Chris

Hi Chris, love these stamps they are so much fun. I have seen your comments and the photograph you referred to. I have hundreds of photographs that I took and who would have guessed that this would be one I posted there, so pleased. Do by all means copy it. I get loads of people asking for them as they are so busy enjoying themselves but don't always have anything to remind them of the festival. Who knows maybe I will see you next year. Hugs, Angela xXx P.S. enjoy the crop.

Its an awesome page Chris, I think you will know I love these stamps you used. The little bird is such a cutie.
Its a fabulous fantasy page for Art Journal Journey who knows what they all could be saying to each other and I include the flowers in this thought as well.
Have a super time at the crop tomorrow.

That'a a really cool page. It is definitely fun garden fantasy for sure. Lucky you to be off next week. I am ready for a little get away. Must be a good time of year for it. Happy weekend. Happy packing.

Talk about running behind! I can't seem to catch up, either. Seems I have NO excuse, either. Hope you have fun at the crop. Be sure to take lots of photos and also on your trip next week, too. Should I be singing "Blue Danube?" If only I knew the words and the melody, that is.

I think your fantasy page is magical. I love those flowers and that cute bird. Those stamps were just made for this challenge, weren't they? So glad you shared this NOT absurd, but fanciful, journal entry with us at Art Journal Journey.

Please take care on your trip, and that means BOTH of you!
