More pages from Jen's Class

Pieces of Life!!

I have been doing Jen Hall's Pieces of Life class which has been brilliant! Each day she uploads a prompt together with her page from the mini book as well as an extra project and I have to say this has been the nicest class I have ever done. I often find I sign up to do classes and then once committed I struggle to keep up but with this class I have felt inspired every day! Here are my first few pages. For others doing the class you will notice some of them are missing, this is because they contain photos of my nephew and step-grandaughter and I am not happy about uploading them without permission. I will put the next few pages on the next post!

True Colors

I had this for xmas...what a fabulous book! Its difficult to get hold of over here in the UK so I ordered it from Amazon.com and then gave it to my hubby to give me for xmas. I have read it from front to back twice already. So much talent in there and so many ideas for 'creating'. My team on UKS are doing a team CJ so I am thinking I will go with colors as my theme. Having seen what people have come up with in this book, I really think its a goer and feel quite excited about starting!

Finished!!!!!

The Deck of Me which I started with Emily Falconbridge is now over... I really cannot believe how fast that year has gone. So here are the final cards as well as the lovely box I found to keep them in.

I had a lot of fun doing this and I think my main lesson has been that 'Art' is personal...I don't have to conform to what others consider to be art...I can just do my own thing and as long as I like it then thats all that matters. The saying on the final card was a quote by Goethe and I think its very pertinent to how I feel.

Oh...I know its been ages

but I have been so busy. Not had time to doing much scrapbooking let alone blogging! Now let me see...what has happened? I was one of the winners in the 7G competition over at 'ATDML' and received a lovely box full of goodies the other day including some 7G black lace metal paper edgers! Can't wait to have a play with them...they look fabby.

My bind-it-all arrived from the states as well...but it is a xmas pressie so I have to wait a few more days before I can play with that but I gotta few ideas for little projects so really can't wait. Apart from that xmas has dominated my little world in recent days and will do for the next few too!

Merry Xmas everyone!

I have now completed 49 weeks of this little art journal...can't believe the year has gone so fast! Here are the last few but of course you can click on the link on the sidebar to see them all in their glory!

7 Gypsies Challenge at A Trip Down Memory Lane

Well, the store e-mailed a few weeks ago to say they were putting up a challenge using 7G stash so I dug out this lovely portfolio which I bought a year ago and gathered my 7G bits and pieces together and made this. I am so wrapped with it. These photos are over 40 years old and I think putting them in mini-books/portfolios is the perfect setting for them. There wasn't enough space for all 9 of my photos so I made a little insert which I thread through with black lace. Love 7G stuff!
