You Ruffle My Feathers art journal spread

Hello, everyone!

I hope you are all doing well enjoying the summer! 

I am here today to share with you my mixed media art journal spread I created for our new challenge theme Colour, Texture, Shape  at Stamps and Stencils.

I love this wonderful theme and here is what I came up with.

Mixed Media Collage Altered Book

Hi, crafty friends and visitors!

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful sunny weather! I am spending my time mostly outside so I am not so active at the blogland lately.

I am here today to announce that our new challenge at Stamps and Stencils has just started and our lovely Sue has chosen the theme: Words with Meaning!

This is how she described her challenge theme:

 I may be an old romantic but I love to see quotes and meaningful sayings on pieces of art. These can be quotes that are particularly meaningful to you or family sayings ! So, for this challenge I want to see your words taking centre stage, big and bold ! Remember, as always, you need to include some stamping or stencilling or both !

I was inspired by the artist Dede Willingham (Inkiwell) and her fantastic artwork so I decided to alter an old big book I found at our local charity shop. 

This is what I created.

Mixed Media Art Paper Doll

Hi, friends!
It's May already and I hope you are enjoying the beautiful Spring weather.
I am here today to share with you my mixed media project I created for our new challenge at Stamps and Stencils.

Cec is hostessing the challenge this month and she has chosen the theme: Fabric and Fibres.
This is how she describes her theme:

Let's add some fabric and/or fibres to our creations this month.  You can use linen, burlap, organza, wool, lace, ribbon, rope to name a few.  The list is almost endless but whatever you add, make sure there is some stamping or stenciling (or both) on your creation as well.

I love to use fabric and fibre elements in my projects and so decided to create a mixed media paper doll with lots of different fabric details.
Here is what I came up with:

Star art journal page

Hello friends and visitors!
It's my turn to host the challenge at Stamps and Stencils and I have chosen the theme 'Lucky Star'.

 For this challenge we would love to see a mixed media project that has star/s in it somewhere. You can create anything you like as long as you include a star. Don't forget to use stamps or stencils or both! Can't wait to see what you create!

I was inspired to create a mixed media art journal page with some drawing and here is what I came up with.

Home Sweet Home altered book

Hello, friends and visitors!

Spring is just around the corner which makes me so happy. If you love Spring like I do then you are going to love our new challenge theme at Stamps and Stencils!
Our lovely Toni is hostessing the challenge this month and she has chosen the theme: 'Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep - Put a Bird On It'!
This is how she describes her wonderful challenge theme:

One of the joys at this time of year, is to wake up to the glorious sound of birdsong. The challenge this month is in celebration of our fine, feathered, friends. We would love to see your mixed media projects, that include at least one bird. Whether it's a  journal spread, an assemblage or card, just make sure that a little dickie bird features somewhere. Please don't forget to include stamping, or stenciling or both. Can't wait to see your creations!

I was so inspired by Toni's challenge theme to alter a book and here is what I came up with:
