Autumn Colours with AJJ

 Hello All.

This week we have been having a wonderful time walking the coastal paths and watching the crashing waves on the North Devon coast. We really needed to get away, and it's been not exactly relaxing, but very refreshing. I adore being by the sea.

Our main reason for coming here was to visit the beautiful Ashbarton Estate that our daughter and fiance have booked for their wedding weekend in June 2026, so we had their company for a couple of days. The venue didn't disappoint you'll be pleased to hear. It's going to be perfect for the colourful festival wedding they are planning.

So, back to the real reason for this post. I have another page to share for my Autumn colours and inspiration theme at Art Journal Journey.

More teabags! I just love them! And I love toadstool spotting too, and have seen a few on my walks this week.

Thanks so much for visiting me today.

Seek Gather Create August 2024 - Week Three

 Hello All.

Here is my art journal page for week 3 of the Seek Gather Create August Instagram Challenge.

The items are... The colour fuchsia, an eye, bubbles, and ruffles.

I used a PaperArtsy tissue paper eye, as well as some other elements from the sheet. The birds are from Crafty Individuals. The text is from my art room copy of Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice. The pink squares are from a master board I had in my stash. 

I'm linking my page to the following challenges...

Jo's Wonderfully Wild theme at Art Journal Journey. Wild birds

Try It On Tuesday's Make It Feminine theme. Pink and lace

Scrappy8challenge - August - Salt

 Hi everyone.

Here's my take on the August Scrappy8 challenge on Instagram. This month's theme of SALT was chosen by Dawn/@4gracecreations. 

I went a bit wild adding sea salt to acrylic inks on some watercolour paper, to tear up and use on my art journal page, layered up some collage scraps, and added a little hand-drawn wild flower between my colourful heart flowers. The book text is taken from my old copy of Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice.

365 Somethings Days 300-307

 Hello Friends.

I've been catching up with my 365 Somethings in between trying to get some Christmas cards made. I'm struggling to keep up this year, but I'm just about managing it. I have regular hospital appointments for my autoimmune hepatitis, and had to go into hospital this week for a gastroscopy op, which didn't help matters, but mainly it's the fact that I like to go walking most days, which makes me a bit weary but I really enjoy.

Anyway, back to my Somethings. Here are two sets of mini collages for days 300-307.

Days 300-303

Days 304-307

I'll be back tomorrow with another two sets of collages.

Thanks so much for visiting.
