Art Journal Prompts Week 8: Spread Your WIngs

I only have one more back prompt to complete now and I will be fully caught up with the Art Journal Prompts for 2017 so far.  This page was created to fit the prompt 'Spread Your Wings'. 

Tag Tuesday: Animals

I have just finished this tag in time to add to the collection on the Tag Tuesday challenge page before the next challenge begins.  The current fortnightly theme is animals and once again I couldn't resist using one of the Hipster stamps and matching die set #hipforsummer.

Art Journal Prompts Week 23: Bloom

This page is in response to the prompt 'Bloom' from Nina Ribena for the Art Journal Prompts Facebook group.

JJJAMA Challenge 20: Blue, Turquoise, Ochre/Sand and Seaside

I did not take too long to create this page once I had found the quote.  This is for challenge 20 on Junk Journals Junkies and Mindful Art and is limited to the colours blue, turquoise, Ochre/Sand and the theme of Seaside.  For once I did very little stamping; the starfish being the only item using a stamp.

Tag It Tuesday: Steampunk/Gears

This is my contribution for the monthly tag challenge with Tag It Tuesday.  The theme is Steampunk/Gears so I thought this stamp from the Time Traveller collection by Sheena Douglass would be perfect.

Art Journal Prompts Week 7: Fill Your Heart

Yet another catch up page; I am determined to get fully up to date with these weekly prompts from Nina Ribena in Art Journal Prompts.  This one is from week 7, 'Fill your heart' and is on the opposite page to the Believe page which I completed on Tuesday.  For that reason, I decided on a yellow/orange background to coordinate with the blue page opposite.

WOYWW 418

Boy, the weeks seem to go round faster and faster.  I had another lovely ATC from Sandra de  with an amazing card all the way from Australia, so I hope that she's received my tag too.  

 

The ATC (along with the others I received for the 8th anniversary of WOYWW) take pride of place on the wall of my shed, together with a plaque which sums up how I feel about my creative space and a couple of post cards; so if anyone is ever in the area (Stoke on Trent), let me know and you are welcome to visit.
Well I suppose I should share my desk as that is the whole purpose of today.  To find out more go to our lovely hostess Julia's blog, where she will explain all.

I was working on an art journal page with the prompt 'Believe' so decided to use a quote from an ABBA song.  To see the finished page see HERE).  The pictures were taken yesterday as usual when I was busy procraftinating with my friend (I love this new word, it sums up my life!).  I passed on all the lovely compliments about her cards from last week. 

 

This week she was painting with Pixie Powders over stamped and heat embossed images on backgrounds which were created in the shed last week.  You can see her mop up journal underneath.
