About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm a lapsed crafter of late but still managing my diary Scrapbooking, plus cards as required. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Art Journaling, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband and son. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing, not really got back to the latter since the pandemic. I like walking which I couple with Geocaching and sometimes Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I am a Christian.

Altered Book Part V (Still Lesson 6!)

On this cold and rainy day here in the UK I decided to get out my sunny Springtime magazine pictures and make a collage for my Altered Book. I just wanted to cover the words and have fun with this.  I
used quintessentially British pictures and inked the bare bits with Peeled Paint. Now that had cheered me up.

Its the colours that got me - love all the various greens, just like the real English countryside! I keep looking at your work BJ and like Cassidy feel more and more tempted to have a go myself. I think I should have a look around for a sewn spine book, just in case . . .

Got a laugh out of the quintessentially British pictures. I agree, because those "cottages" are simply too adorable to come from the States.

Very evocative of a warm spring day - I can almost smell the grass and feel the sun on my back...lovely!
