Bliss!

I'm feeling pretty peaceful today after another play date at AFTH. Lots of art journalers creating pages and chatting together and generally having a good old 'time out' from the mundane everyday stuff we all have to do. Olive even managed to put up with the Country music Dy had on today even though she didn't like it!

Today, Dy set us a challenge - we had to use some dressmaking pattern paper and a paisley swirl stencil - if we managed it, we got to take home some of the dressmaker paper...

So yes - I managed it - evidence!



Although this isn't the page I made - I loaded the 'photos in the wrong order!

This one is in my A4 journal...





Here it is - can you spot the dressmaking paper? Christine brought a bag full for Dyan- we loved it - some of the patterns had her name on - she has had them since she was a school girl - how amazing is that...just goes to show, all that stuff we all hoard does eventually come in useful for something!

I shall still add to this page but I like it already, Mrs Blackett is very bemused about her hat....



And then I just used the altered original spray inks to start this background - aren't the colours just gorgeous?



Right, I'm off to mess around a bit more...
