The Printed Word

The new theme for 

The Three Muses Challenge  is.....

'The Printed Word

  I have always loved reading  so this theme has really appealed to me.

While I was making the first page, the  idea for  a second version came to me. Books open doors  for us,  knowledge is so important for everyone.

  I imagined this little one stepping through the page of her book, looking for the answers of the many questions she wanted to ask.

  I used a digital die cut from the computer program I use to cut out the fairy figures from a  book page. So no books were messed up or torn apart to create these pages. 

Thank you for calling in today, your visit and comments are always appreciated.

Stillness and peace

This weeks theme over at

Take a word.....is Statue.

I created a calming scene  as we are fast approaching

 what my mother always used to call the 'silly season'.

Where everything seems to be done in a rush, its good to take time out

and maybe dream of  peaceful days.

We love fruit.

The Three Muses Challenge

is......Fruit and/ or Vegetables.

Let me introduce you to Cherry and Peaches who love to  read.

Mum wants them to be healthy so she gave them a leaflet to read about

 how fresh fruit and vegetables are good for you.

In the UK it is well published that we should eat at least 5 pieces of fruit or vegetables each day.

I hope the girls enjoy the fruit,

 mum bought rather a lot  for them when she went shopping..

Shadow boxes

The Three Muses

challenge this week is.....

Shadow Box.

I found this quite a challenge for me and a bit outside my comfort zone.

Family Album

" Family Album"

Orange becomes her

The theme word for  this week over  at

The Three Muses Challenge 

is........Orange.

This is my take on the theme a lot of orange background layers,

 a colour that shouts out Autumn to me.

But as its near Halloween I couldn't resist  a connection to the darker side of the season as well.

Solitude for AJJ

A digital journal page for 

Art Journal Journey

and Elke's theme of.....

Landscapes of the Soul.

As I was creating this page, the house was quiet, a dull day outside,

I hadn't even turned on the radio to listen to music.

  I  felt  utterly  happy being alone in my crafting world.

Thank you for stopping by, you are always very welcome here.

Candle Light

The theme this week  for the

Stripped and happy

Stripes.....

is this weeks challenge theme at Take a Word.

I had a play in the digital program I use to create a stripped background, I didn't want straight lines,

 but I did want happy colours. 

Its been quite dull and gloomy here these past few days, 

bright colours lightened a grey  day.

Thank you for calling in, your comments are always appreciated and you are always welcome here.

Its the witching time of the year.

The Dreamers challenge theme over at

Digital Whispers
is.....Witch.

I used one of my own backgrounds and added a variety of  digital images for this page. .
The quote I added ......
'I become insane, with long intervals
of horrible sanity'.
I just wonder what these two are saying to each other and who will win the argument.
Neither if them look very sane to me.

It's an escape route from what is going on around me,

 when I need to unwind and relax. 

I do make time each day to read, usually in the evening before bed time.

Do you enjoy reading books?

Its only a number

This weeks theme for 

The Take a Word challenge is..........Numbers.

This is my digital page which had me thinking about how many times actors had to act out the scenes before the directors were satisfied with how it looked.

I think I can relate to this as it did take me quite a time to layer this page

 until I was happy with the result.

Autumn in Paris

I have made this digital  Tag for the current challenge theme over at

I have added lots of digital layers  and images.

The corrugated backing was a photo of a piece that was lying on my desk

 and shaped in my digital program.

The current theme  of

 'Autumn'  over at the

 that I could join into three challenges.

This is a slightly different version of the tag, with some extra added autumn leaves.

The butterflies have flown away as the leaves change colour and the air gets cooler.

This second page is  just in time to join Jo over at 

Art Journal Journey

for one last time this month.

The theme is Poetry in Motion where we were asked to be inspired by a poem, quote, song or saying.

It did start its life as a page in my journal, but had so many layers  added to it in my digital program it is hard to say what came from where.

I do know that I really like the quote I used...

You can do it,

just spread your wings and fly.

I wonder how far the little creature sitting on the mushroom will get when he tries his wings to fly.

where Jo's theme is

I think many of you have happy memories of days at the beach,

we remember them as warm summer days, playing on the sand and in the water

 when in reality here in the North east of the U.K  the sea is always extremely cold.

Set yourself free

Its not often that I manage  to create a digital page that will fit two challenges ,

I started making this page for AJJ, by using this quote   of  Frida Kallo's.

It  fits how I feel about my digital work a little,  because 

 when I started it all seemed way beyond what I could do.

But,  after  a while   I can now  say,  I love creating digital art,

nearly, but not quite  as much as the hands on inky and messy projects .

Challenges..

Jo's theme for the month .....
