My little street

This was such fun to make for the Fruit Pixie, a little street of Chipboard houses and trees from Creative Individuals and covered with the paper from Keisercraft  Miss Match collection. Step by step instructions can be found on The Fruit Pixie Blog.

AJC Journal page Atlantis #2

This is our last week in Atlantis on the AJC.  I have started to enjoy and have faith in my own artistic ability, something I have always thought and been told, I had none, so this is a big step for me but I am starting to think perhaps I can do it :)    

  So this page is ALL my own work!

AJC page Storys from Atlantis

The port of call for May with the Art Journal caravan is Atlantis!  So here is my mixed media  page. I must admit it did take me longer then usual but as I have not been at all well this month, it was an ideal project for me to dip in and out of as my health would allow. I am really pleased with it and intend to be more confident in my arty skills and do more of this style.

Blackboard triptych

I made this little blackboard triptych using the Crafty individuals chipboard frames and swirls available from The Fruit Pixie. For full instructions on how I made my triptych pop on over to the Fruit Pixie blog or facebook page.

AJC journal page Africa

This is the second page for the AJC port of call - Africa. I must admit I was totally inspired by the Out of Africa kit from Rucola designs for this page, I loved all the vintage look maps and animals. The backgrounds were created using my trusty Gelli plate, it was a shame to cover them over really, so here is how they looked before

And here is the page finished.

I needed a word to go in the frame to finish the page off, nothing seemed right but then I thought why not use a Swahili word! So that's what I did, wawindaji is Swahili for hunter.

Poetic Licence #17 May face flowers

Here is tag number 17 in my Poetic Licence tag book for the AJC. Each week we are given 12 random words from a list of 400 and we have to make something of them. As you can see they hardly ever make sense but that is part of the fun of it all.

AJC Journal page - Africa, 100 friends

I took the papers from the Gelli plate session I photographed before and made this journal page for my AJC journal.  Our port of call for April was Africa, it took me a while to become inspired but got there in the end.

The backgrounds are my own but the images are from Tangie and ViVa studios. The saying - A small house has 100 friends is an African saying and was one of the journal prompts this month.

Great Gatsby bookmark

Here is my book mark from The Gatsby Chic collection available from the Fruit Pixie online shop. Full details of what I used are on The Fruit Pixie blog and Facebook page.
