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 Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, 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. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). 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 Vineyard Church.

Alpha Challenge #22 - New Year's Day

We are drawing to a close in The Craft Barn's year long Alpha Challenge and this time we have the letter "N".

I asked my son for a special day beginning with "N" and he said New Year's Day - no competition. I have been pondering the page ever since.

Today I got around to making my page. I loved the colours I used in last year's altered book so that is where I started.

I have added a New Moon and some books of the New Testament for good measure.
