I have my reasons....

Hi everyone, the other evening I developed a really strong craving for fruit! Eating fruit daily is not unusual, and we are always well stocked with fresh fruit, we had eaten a satisfying meal but about an hour afterwards I helped myself to a peach, grapes, half a pear, half a kiwi fruit and some strawberries.

When my delightful new Aall and Create cute stamps by Janet Klein arrived yesterday I stamped some out and sat colouring them in while watching TV last night. I also cut out quite a few.

 Today I started a journal page by splatting pink and orange Distress Inks with an acrylic block onto my page - something I really love to do.....hold on there, this is going somewhere...

 A few weeks ago a free magazine was delivered with our groceries with a fabulous article on fresh fruit and veg - Georgina Luck had illustrated it and I remembered the peaches in particular looked fabulous..so here it is on my page..

 ..I added some text from another A and C stamp set and gave the girlies some peaches (you will see that one greedy girl had a whole pile of them!) I think the cute puppy has either eaten too many himself or he just likes rolling around in the juice!!
I added some circles made with a hole punch (pinched an idea from my friend Sarah Anderson)

 I am entering at

Art Journal Journey and Erika's 'When It's Hot' theme fruit (and water)a definite 'must have' in hot weather!! 

 Country View Challenges 'Do What Makes you Happy' - a new journal page, splatting ink, playing with new stamps, using cutie stamps by Janet Klein, using gorgeous magazine clippings...and eating fruit!!!

 Thanks for looking,Chris

    This is a great tribute to summer fruits. They are pretty special, aren't they? Even when you can get them other times they never taste quite as sweet. And I love your Janet Klein stamps. I have pre-ordered the dog set though it will take a couple of weeks to arrive. Fun page Chris. Thanks so much for joining in the fun at AJJ. It is much appreciated. Hugs-Erika
