Create art, have some fun and share a cup of tea with friends


A fun journal spread for Try it on Tuesdays
where the current theme is.... Spots, dots and splashes.

Time to get  messy,  as you can see from my pages.
To begin a sprayed background, stencils came next [dots]. On to  a selection of stamps, I imagine some of you will spot the brands.  Last some flicks with the paintbrush, which mostly went on the desk and not the pages.

Now it time to visit with Friends at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's
and share a cup of tea on Tuesdays.
I am, I admit a Tea addict .
I am never at my best without a mug of  it close by.



After cleaning up a little of the earlier mess, it was time to sit with a brew
at the computer for a digital page.


I was editing some photos, so hence the work on progress sign,
We are getting ready to go off in the caravan soon and I hope to use the lap top
 for some digital pages.
 I used to take quite a number of craft items,  space was  and is an issue.
So loaded with some of my own backgrounds, photos and my stored [on computer] images etc.
Everything will be  added to the external storage drive.
I am soon  about to find out if my resolve to go minimal is a good idea.

Is anyone having issues with blogger?
 My blog  doesn't seem to be  updating  posts on my dashboard,  when folk publish them.
The blog list is just the same, some updated others not.
So apologies if I have missed calling to see you.
I hope it sorts itself out soon.

Thank you for calling to see me today . I always appreciate you stopping by.

  1. Yes, Blogger is sloooooooooooooooow just now, it sometimes takes hours before posts are updated on the dashboard. Wonder what they are up to this time? Love your journal pages for TIOT, and I think it's a good idea to take less to the caravan and do more digital - I did the same when I was in hospital, although in the end I didn't do much as the pains were so bad! Have a fun day, take care, happy T Day, hugs Valerie

  3. I've mentioned to a couple of people (Patty and Erika) that their posts are not updating for about seven hours. So you are not alone in your concerns.

    Your TioT entry is gorgeous. So, so colorful, too. And your cup of tea looks perfect next to your digital art.

    I think it's a good idea to go all digital during a holiday away from home. If I knew digital at all, I would be using it in place of my true cut and paste. It would save on supplies, too. I look forward to seeing what you create while you are away.

    Thanks for sharing the lovely art and your cup of tea with us for T this Tuesday. Have fun in your caravan.

    Happy T Day Yvonne oxo

  6. Fabulous pages. Love the background. Those are great stamps. Good idea to go digital whilst you are on holiday. This post didn't show up in my reader. I was visiting for the Flying Scotsman post. I only use the Blogger reader but I lost all of the links this morning but they came back this afternoon.

  14. The impact is amazing, such great sense of energy and wonderful use of colour.
    In total admiration for your attempt to go minimalist.
    I've had problems for a wee while, where blogger dashboard doesn't seem to up-date my own blog posts. Haven't checked this for two or three weeks but it was ongoing for a long time.
    Wishes

    You might be going minimal, but I'm sure what you will create with your stored images will be fabulous and full of interest.Have a great time.

  21. sorry to hear about your Blogger issues...I am not proficient enough to figure out if it's me or blogger when I have a problem! at the moment, almost every blog I visit, the Blog list of links is vibrating! don't know if it's a setting I need to adjust or what. I am using a new computer! sigh...good luck with your streamlined art process, and enjoy your holiday! beautiful journal pages!
