About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Junk Journaling too. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Art Journaling, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing, but am plagued by a bad back. I like walking which I couple with Geocaching and sometimes Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I guess I am officially retired now. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

An Attitude of Gratitude #09

The technique for today on the "An Attitude of Gratitude" blog is FABRIC . Well would you know I only just sorted my fabric drawer recently when my Altered Book Course asked for a fabric page. I used the Weathered Wood Distress stain for the backing, edged with Distress Inks, Salty Ocean and Stormy Sky.
 
I used my Sizzix Alterations dies to cut the fabric. The bright satin blue fabric I used was from the lining of the box my wedding present from my Dad came, the green and purple from cushions I have made in the past.



The doily and pictures came in my "happy-mail" from Bernice the organiser of this daily AJ challenge for November.

I did the "strengths" on-line test and have noted my top 7 in white writing. I used the New King James Version for the scripture.
