All types

Hi everyone, we are still busy, busy, busy...going away for a little while seemed like such a good idea until we started to look at the paper work and rules and regs regarding travel. Add into that, that no one seems to be available to offer help in correcting name differences. We did eventually find someone to talk to but she had to keep asking her bosses - a crazy state of affairs but then we did anticipate some problems what with Brexit and Covid in the mix!

I grabbed some time to make a journal page for Neet's 'Type' theme at Art Journal Journey.

I had some leftover letter cut from a piece of designer paper and I wanted to use up the Crafty Individuals typewriter that I had stamped to experiment with a technique I wanted to try - it didn't work, but I still had the typewriter. 

The bird and the butterfly on a piece of cut up birthday card prompted me to make my page about the different types of flying creatures in nature.

I used an Aall and Create stencil with blue distess ink(don't remember which two I used!)I arranged the letters and stamped lots of insects and bird around too. 

I used some random quotes that I keep in a box along with a small strip of AAll and Creat Washi tape that says 'Beauty Abounds'

It was only when I had finished my page that I spotted NHS in the corner - we were wondering today how many other folk are having difficulty in actually speaking to their GP's - when we ring we get an automated message that cuts out straight after it. It's been like that for a while, last time I wasn't feeling well, couldn't get a reply I got through the pain with painkillers - maybe that's the plan! I can't imagine how folk without computers are getting on.

I'm not really ranting, Heaven knows where we would have been with the NHS during last year!

Thanks for looking, Chris
