I really expected the time to drag but I have been surprised how quickly the time is passing at the moment!
There's been very little time spent in my craft room, even though new stamps arrived this week.
We've have been busy sorting out(very)old paperwork - some that should probably not have come with us 8 years ago!
I have also been enjoying cooking some new recipes! We miss eating out so have been trying new flavours and combinations and we often cook together too! There are of course tried and tested favourites some of which we take turns to cook!
Along with that there have been two birthdays this week and it was good to do some face to face calls too!
I started this journal page last weekend, but as I knew my new stamps were due I waited to finish it.
I used Aall and create stencils and stamps for the background and settled on pink, green and black...I realised I had been a bit heavy on the blues lately!
I had been waiting for Tracy Evans new big flower set - it's big - each image being A5 size.
I stamped it on my page and again on white paper to fussy cut.
I added punched circles and some white spatters!
I am entering at:-
Art Journal Journey - Valerie's theme is 'Geometric Shapes'
The Artistic Stamper April Creative Challenge-In The Garden
Craft Stamper magazine - Take It Make It Challenge - April
Penny Black and More April challenge - Anything Goes
Stay safe!
Thanks for looking, Chris

What a gorgeous page with Tracy's new daisies... The b&w flower against the shadowy background is really eye-catching. Looking forward to seeing the bottle vases in action too!
I agree about time flying... and like you, I've been enjoying being creative in the kitchen, as well as being thrilled with the flourishing vegetable seedlings in my tiny courtyard garden. Crafting mojo seems to come and go, but overall I'm well aware how lucky I am in quite enjoying the lockdown so far.

Beautiful Journal page Chris. I too have been addicted to Tracy's new stamps. Love them. Hugs Rita xx
Love those stamps and love what you did with the sunflower one! I have been busy doing other things, too. I thought I would be doing more creative stuff but have been sorting and cleaning and puttering instead. But that is a good thing in itself. ;)
What a lovely page, the flower looks like you could pick it off the page.
Thanks for sharing with us at Penny Black & More.

Terrific page with a wonderful sentiment ~ getting new supplies is always fun, especially these days! Enjoy
Fabulous post and the large flower and quote are perfect. Every day is a new adventure especially at this time. Take care and Happy T Day
Oh, your card is stunning! love how you've put it together, and the sentiment. I know what you mean about papers...they do seem to pile up! I should be cleaning closets or something, but no. still mostly just journaling...lol! have a fabulous week!
