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 (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.

Sketchbook365 - May Challenge

Here is my entry for the Scrap365 Challenge.I had been saving the Official Royal Photos by John Swannell for something special and this months sketch fitted the bill 100%. I used my Do-crafts 6x6 Portobello Road papers and their co-ordinating ribbon bows. I great addition to my patriotic scrapping for this Diamond Jubilee year. (See previous post for tag book where I am collecting photos of our Queen for the tags).
