T is for Try
Still feeling horrid so pleased to say I did this whilst still in my PJs! Does that count as resting up?
Another half pocket with tag today and the patterned paper is again the pearlescent kind so only permanent inks would do - of which I only have black and brown! I chose the latter and then consulted my stamp folder (yes I only have one stamp folder - a Tim Holtz one).
Chose 2 Tim Holtz stamps for my border, first his chandelier and for the back his crown. Both worked really well in part as borders. Really must do this technique more often, dare I say I like it and it involves stamping.
I tried to type out the whole scripture today but it was too long and I ran out of the coloured paper I liked so I just did the sentence with "TRY" in it. I filled the space with butterflies (they were the first I came to in my alphabetised spare diecut box!). I have left the back plain for any journaling later.

- 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 (currently a year behind!), plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. 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. I also like Walking/Geocaching. I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Evangelical Church.

Ooh this is so so pretty BJ, I love it. Ha ha ha, only one stamp folder, bless you, how on earth do you resist them all?? Lol I have drawers and boxes!!!!!! I love your inventiveness with Sir Tim's stamps, brilliant.
Huge hugs x x x x
I can't believe how much catching up I have. But I can finally get back to blogger and leave you a comment. Your tag is gorgeous, and I like your inventive nature. It shows what you can do even if you only have ONE of something. Way to go.
Hi BJ,
Oh, I hope you feel better soon. But to craft in your pjs.... that's so cool!
I love this page; the flower paper is way cool. And I love how you stamped the little crown around the tag. Also, love the bible verse. Can you tell I just love everything about this project?!?
Peace,
Kay
