Art Journal challenge, crikey only 10 weeks left on this one but talks are on for another in the New Year!! The prompt is Grateful. Be it for things in a whole week or pick out one thing. I'm grateful for my friend Louise. Really I could have made the one card to fit both challenges today as TMTA is friends, but as I love to create so much, I made two seperate cards.
I am grateful for something Louise did last week & this. Last week, she turned up at my flat with a carrier bag full of DVD's. Movies galore to watch as I wasn't well & she felt that at least if I couldn't craft I would be occupied. I have watched almost all of them now, just two left.
Today, was my first day back at work & she took me out to lunch to ease me back into it. Everyone should have a friend like Lou. She is 13 years my junior, yet we like the same music, comedy, drinks, men... in fact her & her fiance, Pete are my partners in crime!!!
TMTA, prompt for this week, as I already said, is friends. This is part of an image I obtained from Rein, as one of her Monday morning shares. Many Thanks Rein, they are so pretty. They are sisters I think & life friends.
Both cards are made using my distressed gesso backgrounds. The top one is just inks on patterned paper & the lower card was an old page inked & gesso'd then stamped over with heart images.
great ATC

ReplyDeleteFor the 4th time I will try to leave a comment, its playing up on me lately.
ReplyDeleteI like the cards, primarily because of the pink shades, I'm a big fan of pink.
Thank you for visiting my blog, I appreciate your comments a lot, I really do.
I keep meaning to ask you about your photo cube there.
I've clicked on it but there's no info.
Clicking on it showed me the 'enlarged' function though which was nice, I did'nt know it did that.
Where do you get that?
