A Couple of Daub and Doodle

Good Morning All

A couple more of my watercolour daub and doodle cards.

The corners are JND and ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

I really like this one

                                      I quite like this one too and they are great fun to make

As we  entered phase 3 on Monday in our Province,  my Craft Club is back to Fridays now.We still have to wear masks when we are out but more freedom now.

Slowly getting back to normal.

John and I went our for a drink and a meal last week, our first since 13th March.

Painting & Junk Journal Winner

Good Morning All

Winner of Junk Journal

I put everyone's name on pieces of paper, there was 19 - 6 on Facebook and 13 on here

Winner is Karen L, who was on Facebook so I will duplicate this over there.

Thank you to all.
*****************************

As you know I have been doing abit of painting with a cheap set of Watercolours after seeing some ideas on Pinterest.

Here is afew cards I made at the weekend.

These cards are A6 size as I am filling a box for my Slimming group leader to use as a raffle prize.

They raise money for a very sick little girl in UK who needs treatment in Barcelona.

I love this one, I think it because of the stamp and of course, the butterflies.

And finally, this one.

Very similar to the first, but a sympathy card.

I have been doodling along with Barbara Gray from Clarity since the lockdown started.

So instead of having loose sheets of A4 paper, I decided to sew them all into signatures and make and ART / DOODLE Journal.

The cover was an old Readers Digest book so I decided to leave the green leather look instead of covering it.

I added a piece of paper I had splashed with watercolours, cut it to size to fit within the gold embossed lines.

I found these wooden butterflies in an embellishment box, heated embossed 3 times with copper powder, and stuck them on.

I will add some words at some point.

It keeps all my work neat and tidy and will use it for craft ideas too.

Now onto the winner of the JND Junk Journal

Happy Birthday to me and a Giveaway

Good Morning All

It is my Birthday today (last week so this post is pinned if anyone else would like to comment to go in the draw) but not sure if we are doing anything, still abit wary of socialising in a bar or restaurant yet.

What I would like to do is have a giveaway of the Journal I made for JND challenge  in the New year.
I will do a draw from the comments left here and on my Facebook page next week.

Here are just afew of the pages inside.
I am really enjoying my journaling and I passed my Journal Therapy course with 100% pass Distinction, so a Happy Bunny.

***************************************************************

Here are afew more Watercolour cards I made afew weeks ago.

This one is all JND stamps

****************************************************

We did go to friends last Friday for a curry, the same couple we had over to ours the week before for a BBQ on the roof.

They have a lovely dog called Pablo which they brought with them from England.

Here are a couple of pics of him.

He is about 4 years old.

The plants in the tubs, Helen bought at a garden centre last week for 3 euro each, purple and white in one tub and she repotted into her own tubs at home, what a bargain.

I think we may have to go and get some to brighten our area outside up.

We did invest in some new furniture last week as the cane sofa that John Lockwood gave me finally gave up and we had to bin it.

We did have  a good few years of use from it though.

********************************

I saw this quote on Facebook and thought it very apt and  a rule that everyone should adopt.

Winner announced tomorrow Wednesday 3rd June

Watercolour dabbles

Good Morning All

As you know I have been playing with doodling and Watercolours.

Here are afew of the watercolour ones,  simply splodges and then stamping over the top.

I got the ideas from Pinterest.

JNDs butterflies and dragonflies.

JNDs heart stamp

JNDs trees

I have some more to show you next week but first, I wanted to show you some pics of trees I took while walking the dog at the weekend.

I think this is a Jacaranda tree, I know I used to see them in Florida, but not sure if these are the same kind but they look the same.

Not much leaf on them but plenty of flowers

This is the flowers closeup.

I have no idea what this one is but there are loads at the back of us where they are building lots of new villas.

These are the flowers, they are so pretty closeup, all spotty red inside and the petals curl right up
