Bits n pieces

So, I haven't dropped off the earth, just been really busy!

I have just bought my first art journal:




And here's my first page:




I'm going to put this inside too. It's the first time I used gesso (home made) and today I glazed the picture of the woman, to protect it and make it shiny :)




Those sparkles are actually the embossing powder shining, in the rare sunlight :)

That's all for now!

ATCs !!!!

So, I have had such a good day in my craft room. I did the gesso thing and then these ATCs . The first one is a near repeat of one I did previously but it didn't turn out the same. The other one is called stormy weather, since the weather is beyond terrible!!!!

Textured page. Using gesso, distress ink and stain.

Well, I've wanted to have a go at this for ages ! This is my first go at using gesso for texture, with inks and stencils. It didn't quite go as planned, but I love it anyway! I hope you like it,

Happy dance!

And so.... My last biopsy was clear! Yayyyyyyy!!! I went away on a little holiday, so I didn't do any crafting (yes I did miss it!)

So I've got pictures of my jollies to show you ! :)

We went to Liverpool and beyond....










Billy fury statue - it was the anniversary of his passing, hence the flowers.








Inside a wether spoons - reminded me of an ATC I did!








Liverpool Dock (Albert Dock)








Beatles - done in jellybeans!








Big wheel - no I didn't go on it :)
