More tags, some skies and a vintage look at November

Hi everyone! I have 5 more tags to show you from the 31 Products Challenge hosted by Brigit Koopsen.
Day 21 

Pearl glaze was used on the Paris 'stamps'

Day 22 

I started with some paint which I partially rubbed off with a baby wipe - I added Tracy Evans stamps and then used a Tippex corrector pen to add some dots and frame the tag
It was here where came unstuck as this was two products and I lost count!!!
so...Day 23

I used an old favourite - Crafty Individuals swirls and gilding flakes with my paper doll image
Day 24

I used gold paint through a stencil - sadly it doesn't show here!
Day 25

I used distress inks to make a background then used my Jenni Bowlin inks that are kept at our caravan and a Paper Artsy image stamped on to book paper.

Last week, after we had seen our son and grandchildren off we decided to head towards the Pennines and Alston.
I love the scenery on the drive but this time it was the skies that captivated me!

As we approached Alston the skies started to become darker although the sun was still shining in Alston...for a while!

One of the reasons for our trip to Alston was for me to buy a new top for Winter from 'Mellow Yellow' which meant a walk uphill from the car. We had called in to this shop on our way back from Northumberland in the Spring, they sell my kind of clothes and also lots of lovely homeware things too! 
By the time I had tried a few items on, 'ummed' and 'aahed' about things on the racks and bought two tops and some socks for hubby along with a nice wall hanging, the weather had taken a turn for the worse!(we had seen a snow plough heading down the road earlier!)
We decided to make a run for it, hubby got to the car way before me!!!

I was cheered to see a patch of blue as we headed down the road!

Hartside cafe which sadly burnt down last March when the roads were under snow and it needed a snow plough in front of the fire engines that were on their way! This was always a popular spot for cyclists and bikers as well as somewhere to stop and take in the views, which fortunately are still the same!!!

These photos are shown in the order in which I took them - I will continue this journey another day.

My calendar pages are ready too..

I used a shaving brush to add ink (after reading my lovely friend Sarah's article in this months Craft stamper)spritzed and then added Crafty Individuals swirls (so happy to have found this in my big sort out!)and the lapwing (one of my favourite birds since I used to see a field full on my way home as a child)and some Stamperia rice paper images as well as one of my old images taken from some cheap cards.

I am joining in at Art Journal Journey where Erika is hosting with her theme - Vintage or Modern

Thanks for looking, Chris
