So exhausting!


 Good morning- the last day of September has arrived, autumn is here, it's been a lot colder this week even though we have had some lovely sunshine. Jumpers and boots have been worn instead of t shirts and sandals and (whisper) we've even put the heating on for a short while in the evenings! Marvin has been snuggling in his basket rather than spreading himself full length on the kitchen floor as was his wont during the summer months, he's a bit big for it really but he loves it so much I don't have the heart to take it away! He has a memory foam bed that's bigger but it's just a flat mattress and obviously doesn't have the same apppeal, not that he's spoilt of course...

There's a new challenge starting today over at Crafty Catz, sponsored by Mirtillemente, the optional theme is 'Use some Blue'. Instead of a card I made a page for my journal, I coloured the fun and quirky So'Getta Happy Birthday image with Copic markers, then used Distress Inks and Oxides to create the stencilled backround. The stencilled panel is layered onto DP-many years old- which I've sponged with blue DI and added some stencilling. The sentiments are stamps from various companies . I've added some die cut and tiny stamped flowers. I loved making this, should make journal pages more often it's so relaxing!

As always there are plenty of beautiful creations from my lovely teamies- just click here to pop over and admire them! 

Thanks for visiting, have a good day

Chris

    Hi Chris,
    your journal page is stunning and very beautifully created.
    Love all the very fab work gone into this stunning piece of art.
    I wish I could put my heating on and off a the switch of a button.
    As I have storage heaters it takes over 24 hours to warm up.
    Still I am glad I am not on Gas at the moment even if I moan about the heaters.
    I actually put my fliffy sheet on the bed yesterday to keep warm and had a wonderful nights sleep for a change.
    My Son bought a new bed and then made beds for his 2 dogs out of the old memory foam matress.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

    That little miss really does have attitude doesn't she but sums up many teenagers.

    Marvin sounds like our bigger girls, they like something where they can rest their heads including the sofa in my craft room (in their defence they never chance their luck in the living room), yet the terrier lays spread eagled in the middle of one on the memory foam beds.

    I would be in trouble if thought bubbles appeared above me for sure lol. I love your card!! Marvin has the right idea, find comfort and stick with it lol. My wee dog is the same, flat beds are to be ignored for a cosy bed and blanket lol.
