Alphabet journal Letter S



The second letter I've tackled for the alphabet journal is S. To me this means Summer holidays at the seaside at Chapel Point in Lincolnshire. We used to meet up with the same friends every year, build huge sand boats, and sit on them until the sea washed them away. Cricket on the beach, collecting shells, paddling, (I never did learn to swim). They are happy memories of childhood.

Alphabet journal pages Letter N



I have joined a group doing an alphabet journal. We are doing them in a random order, and N was the first letter. I am using a hot press smooth watercolour paper, and making signatures to sew together at the end. I had already started doing one last year, so can add those at the end of the journal.
I painted the backgrounds with Brusho paints, and added pictures, some stamping, and then did some journaling at the end.
It has taken me ages to get started, but having done so, I feel a lot more confident about it.

Hearts and flowers chunky book

Another chunky book, this time with the theme of Hearts and flowers. I wasn't really looking forward to doing this one, having committed myself, but enjoyed doing it in the end.

After a very long break, I couldn't resist the urge to make an arch. The subject this week is 'Little girls'

Chunky house book

As I'm not feeling up to much, after the operation on my back, I decided to catch up a bit with my blog. It has been very neglected of late. The houses below were for a chunky book swap, and I really enjoyed doing them, so much so, I'm on the next round. They are basically a 4" x 4" square with the roof going up another 2". As you can see the subject varies, and these are only a few of them. I am totally unable to get away from putting birds on everything, and the next ones will be no different.

Nature book

This is the flower page, for the nature book that Maureen, Jan, and myself are doing. we are on the last page now, and then they can be made into the books. They are A5 size, and will look great when they are finished.

Indian fabric ATCs

These are some fabric ATCs for an Indian themed swap. Some of the fabrics and the elephant stamp on the left, one of my daughters brought back from India, so genuine materials. they fray like mad, but I enjoyed making them.
