Card for week 14

This prompt was BIRDS

Just had a fab idea

I've just been looking at blogs and it has given me an idea on what I'm going to do with my EF AJJ Cards. I'm going to make an envelope book.
It will have alot of pages.
Each card will live in its own pocket.
I will decorate the envelope as well. Each one will have the name of the prompt on it.
At the moment this is the best idea that I've had on what to do with them.
I just need to get the right size envelope to make it.
when i've done it i'll post some photos.

EF AJJ Week 8

It's taken so long to do this one as it was hard to decide on just the one thing.
In the end it had to be my health.
Everyone that lives with a chronic illness knows what it can be like. Sometimes you hate every twinge just waiting to see if it turns into anything because you know that it will sometime. Going from being a healthy new mum one minute to being really ill with a small child and knowing that this is going to be there for the rest of your life. It can be a hard to handle.
You learn to live with it so you can control it not the other way round.
So I miss my Health.
Wouldn't you?

EF AJJ Week 3

I'm slowly catching up with these.
This is week 3 which was I am.
I have used purple card and that i have put cherry Arte chipboard letters which were inked black and then painted with glittery silver nail polish. I then wrote the words on lilac card and then glued them on. Finally i painted the edges with the nail polish.
I am all these things to different people at the same time.

EF AJJ Week 10

This is week 10 Note to Self.
It says Enjoy Life live it to the full. Have fun and don't dwell on the past to much. Remember to have fun as well.

Doms Week 11

Dom saw the card that I've just done and said I want to do one, so we just have and here it is.
He choose all the colours himself. I inked the chipboard letters for him and glued them onto the card, two parts were inked first. He then did the doodles.
We are going to do more over Easter.

AJJ Week 11

Week Eleven is up an this week its Your Initial. I had an idea straight away and for once i done it on the day i saw the prompt. So here it is. For this I used Acetate and on that i used Hambly screen prints wings and crown. I inked a chipboard B with copper ink and then glued onto the Acetate.
The Acetate was stuck to a piece of black card using purple brads.
I'm really pleased with it.

Art Journal Journey

I am so behind in this. These are week nine and week four.

For week four A Symbol You Love i choose the Take That symbol as i loved them when they were around the first time, now they are back and better than ever. From Boy band to Man band.

Week Nine was Inspiration found
Emily Falconbridge Inspires me so that is what i put. I just love her work and her passion for it. Her work shows a bit of her in every bit. After meeting her last year I know that she just oozes talent and that its self is inspiring.

I'll take more photos so you can see them better

Art Journal Journey

Here is my week Five
I used the masking tape technique
Added netting and then the ephemera
I then wrote on a piece of masking tape and added it.

Its taken ages to get some ephemera that i could use for this. Then on Tuesday when i had to have a blood test the ticket seemed just right. At the hospital they run a ticket system so you know when its your turn. It just screamed at me to do something with it.

So another week is done.

Art Journal Journey WEEK 6

This is my take on the prompt for Emily Falconbridges Journal journey. The prompt was love, love, love.
I painted the card with red nail polish, added the Rik rak. The heart was cut out and painted with red paint and then gone over with copper nail polish. this was the glued on. I stamped LOVE ME on the card and finally added drops of cream nail polish.


I'm pleased with it.
