Create your own art in Lockdown

 Morning all 

Such a beautiful day, the sun is shinning and the birds are chirping. The smell of Jasmine wafting thru the front door.

Hubby had  gone to get the groceries whilst I am sitting at my craft space (dinning room table) writing this up, with the sunshinning through and Coffee beside me.

Yesterday I had an appointment with the Disease Specialist about my infection, he wants another month on antibiotics as not quite stable,  but am feeling like my old self again which is good, not scrapping as many pages as I get really tired quickly, but at least a few

Yesterday I thought I would attempt to combine two challenges " Sketches in Thyme" week 3 sketch and "Scrap it with Attitude " Face book challenge.  Scrap it with Attitude  have one mandatory item each month which is journalling on your layout,  mine is hidden , written on the tag. They also like you to try a new technique each month. This month I have used Dimensional magic on my title words to make it stand out. I find it difficult to use and get it everywhere and it sticks to the paper, then trying to get it off ruin my chipboard.

 

I love the multi photo layout Sketch."Sketches in Thyme" have use.

Morning all,

We have another perfect week with cold mornings and beautiful days, its  nearly Spring time and thoes cold mornings will disappear.

 I am so excited as today will be my first layout as a Design Team member for "Lasting Memories Scrapbook Layout  "Challenge blog. They have a weekly challenge based on a theme.

http://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com

September theme is the "Wonders of the World"

With the first week criteria is to use layered Words and to use the word  "TRAVEL". 

I decided to go with some holidays snaps taken at Uluru (Ayers Rock) back from 1984, when the family travelled to Alice Springs for an Apex convention and then spent a week sightseeing before travelling home.

I decided to go with a multi photo, block theme as i had six photos left to do , I have used one photo in my hidden journal page at the begin of row 2. (See photo below)

I hope you like it. Today i will provide which products I have used  as the cutting an assembly can be seen from the picture .

I have used a base of brown card stock as my first layer and then two more layers ( one a 4" square the second a 3.75" Square ) before adding photo's or emblishments.
