Finding (no, making!) time....

I am feeling quite stressed at the moment so time with a little bit of crafting has become an essential!
We had family up to the caravan at the weekend and they have taken quite a lot away with them but there's still a couple more trips for us before we have emptied everything - the lady in the local charity shop is always pleased to see us though!

I have another page for Art Journal Journey and Yvonne's 'Words and Numbers' theme
I made this page by first brayering on shades of pale blue and white paint! I then sponged on more white at the top of the page!
I stamped the TH tree twice, then once in the middle without re-inking! I added some sponged snow at the bottom and then added the sentiment and the paper doll image.

I also have a little page for Moo Mania and More who are asking us to 'Use your Scraps'
I only used some bits from my desk - including a crumpled piece of green paper that I used to punch out some holy leaves! I drew in some veins!!Oh! - and added spattering!

I also have a tag for Tag Tuesday - White Christmas

Using an Artistic stamper Saint Nicholas on a background stamped with a combination of Crafty Individuals and Inkadinkadoo stamps.
I used a white pen on the leaves and berries.


  Thanks for looking, Chris

  4. I love "little things" :)

    This will be a great time of year for the charity shop to receive new items. I'd be willing to bet some of them get given as Christmas presents :)

  7. Gorgeous art Chris. ARt time is always good to deal with stress. It's just bad when you can't find art time and there is stress. Take care of yourself. But you sure have a lot of beauties to show us today. hugs-Erika
