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.

The Washi Tape Addiction!

I have recently joined the Facebook group my 2014's challenge called "The Documented Life Project". It is all about Art Journalling and Daily Planners and Washi Tape.

I had a few reels of Washi which I store on jailer rings (have requested a few more rings for Christmas).











Then it was mentioned on the group that Staples had some for 49p each and a 3 for 2 offer to boot, could I resist? I think not. I got all the designs except the skyline one - shame as that was a nice one so no wonder it was sold out.

So, finding it hard waiting for my book (an Ikea notebook) for Christmas to use my washi, I have done my latest 12 Months in View tag with Washi tape. I even made the tie from 2 washi tapes stuck back to back. I added a couple of card stickers I'd received in an advent gift to finish it off.


Oh and as I seem to have a serious lack of purple washi in my collection I have added some to my latest craft order, although not sure from the web photos if the set was mainly pink or purple, but hey ho.

Happy sigh!

It is a bit of an addiction, isn't it? I store mine in a ziploc baggie.
