A mixed T bag!!!

Hi everyone, I'm hoping I'm still welcome at Bluebeard and Elizabeth's blog where T stands For Tuesday is taking place today. You're a lovely bunch so I'm guessing there won't be a problem!

I have been having blog problems but hopefully that won't stop me today....so.. today is a bit of a mixed bag!

First, a journal page I made for Vicki's Music theme at Art Journal Journey a couple of weeks ago.

The background started as a mop up and I added some washi tape and stamped an Aall and Create stamp designed by Bipasha, which I coloured in with some metallic water colours.

Next, some of you may have noticed that I have no Calendar Journal to show you. Last year when I broke a bone in my foot I started a daily journal and wrote it alongside my calendar journal. Since I can get more on a page than I can in a little square I have gone over to just using my journal.
Here are some pages for you to see how I decorate my pages, mostly with scraps, Stickers, Ruben and washi tape.




Hubby and I do get out occasionally, the weather has been a bit cold and wet for walking too far, hoping that will change soon.
Of course most of our outings include having a drink somewhere, especially if we are food shopping!


As you can see most times I get my little journal tin out while we wait for our order to arrive
These are my 'ticket' join in at TSFT today!

Hubby and I have also started this year's Wanderlust lessons and really enjoying making art together.


Last week's lesson. You can probably tell that mine is the top image!

We did manage a walk the other week at Dunham Massey - a lovely sunny afternoon to see the Snowdrops




Looking forward to seeing this (my favourite view in the garden) transform over the Spring






I confess to spending a lot of time on Instagram but I hope I can get back to regular visits here, if you'll have me?

I had better go now, hubby waiting for me so we can carry on with this weeks Wanderlust lesson.

Thanks for looking, Chris

Very nice to hear from you today! It’s encouraging to see spring arriving somewhere… we have quite a while to wait! But your early flowers are inspiring.

I love your journal and the early Spring pictures. Still ice and snow out my front door. Happy T Day

First of all, I absolutely love your photos and the beautiful scenes you've shared! Your pages are all amazing and I have to say that the trumpet page really speaks my language! Love the wonderful background you've created with the colors and the bit of splattering! Love that image and I used it on one of my pages as well! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful inspiration for my "MUSIC" theme at AJJ this month! Best wishes!

Such a fabulous post! I so enjoyed looking at all the nature and flowers that you shared 😊. Your music and calender pages are beautiful and I notice the pretty page in the little art journal on the table with your drink, it would be lovely if you could share these pages and media that you have in the tin, on your blog (or with me as I would like to do something like this when I'm traveling and your page is so beautiful and inspiring). How wonderful to spend time with your hubby creating too and your pages are stunning ❤️. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
