It has all gone to plan so far....

Well I said to my self last night I'd work in my cj's tomorrow (today now) and I have, messy play too... I have this thing of planning to do something and it not happening because of daily life stuff, but today it has gone to plan so far (probably shouldn't have said that to soon lol) well, I did have a few near accidents with a paint brush and my cup of tea, managed to stop it going in the cup before reaching the tea lol.....
 
I have two Cj's that I am taking part in on UKS (UKScrappers) and this is this mornings fun....
 
(Helen's Cj)
Art Journal Style
Whatever Takes Your Fancy, and Have Fun...
 
I started this one last night by drawing the girls face in pencil and using plain ol' colouring pencils to colour her face in... this morning she got a lick of paint and more paint :D I just need to add the title and journaling and maybe some doodling... but wanted to share now as to not spoil the whole thing for Helen ;-)...
 

(Gill's Cj)
Messy Art Journal with a Rainbow Theme...
 
I started out with the pencil again drawing the girls face and rough outline of the scene, then the painting just happened it's looking quite clean at the moment but again I have the title and journaling to do, I think there could be some stamping and rub on's making an appearence too... So I am sharing now to not spoil it for Gill

 
Hope the girls will like what I have done when they get their journals home... We have a little while to go still as only half way.....
 
Happy Scrappy Fun!!!

My Poor Ol' Blog...

 
I can't believe it has been so long since I have been by my little ol' blog.... Bad Blogger (consider me told off)... I am hoping to work on it a little more and get back into posting my creative project's again.....
 
I proberly should say Happy New Year.... lol...
 
 
Some people will know I had hand surgery at the beginning of the year, (Carpal Decompression) I am getting back into the swing of crafting again and have lots of ideas floating about, just need to put into action.... I also have two Cj's that I am still involved in so plenty to do...
 
I have got an on going project for this year 'My 2013 Journal' I have a mile stone of a birthday this year and thought I would journal special events and just the odd random thing too of what happens this year (if that makes sense)... 
 
This is the journal I made. Here is what I have so far...
 
The cover I have left plain at the moment, think I want to leave it quite simple but not sure what to do yet!! 

 
 There is a pocket inside the cover which I plan to put some personal journaling and a quote about age, I have found a few that I quite like so I might use them throughout the journal...
The next page is of my new nephew Billy born on the 6th of January, there is a flip page here which hide my photo (camera shy me) and another photo of Billy and a tag behind for my journaling...
 
 
This next page (L) is about my hand surgery, I have three pockets for my journaling, photo and hospital band and date and where I had it done... Then the next one is just a little random, Snow and the 4 snow days my children had off school because they closed... It is again a pocket which has a tag for journaling and more photos...
 
 
 
I have also worked on a couple of Cj's to but forgot to take photos of these before I posted them on... Note to self- must remember to use the camera :-D...
 
Well thanks for popping by....
 
Happy Scrappy Days!!!
