2012 Wish for space Journal Pages

The Craft Barn has launched a new Art Journal Challenge. With the start of a new year tonight I have decided that I would like to take art journaling as my focus for the year along with my photography. I think both will compliment each other. I started the 365 photo challenge last year but I have to say I didn't keep it up religiously. Life got in the way - it has a habit of doing this in my limited experience. These days instead of feeling guilt I am trying to go with it and accept and be content in the moment. Journaling may help with this - we will see.

The Craft Barn has set up buildings as the topic of the challenge and this has led me to focus on one of my own wishes for 2012 - a space to be me in the crowded world.

I enjoyed playing with acrylics, a mask, Cosmic Shimmers, shrink plastic, doodles and stamps. Thanks for the inspiration The Craft Barn Team.







Loving all the entries so far on the blog - really inspiring. Looking forward to challenge two.

Happy New Year. Thanks for stopping by. Hugs Cherry X

A slow return

This darling snowman was sent to me by Debs, he is not only lovely but he reminds me of a very good day with my crafty buddies at Newbury Racecourse where Debs purchased him. This is my first post in a while and I am still getting used to a number of changes so my posts will be fewer but hopefully I can find the time and creative energy to be part of the community on blogger again in a small way.

I have really enjoyed playing with Deb's image, PMs and Tim Holtz's snowflake die. I've not really got to grips with this die before but just loved the look of it. Much happier playing with it today and have some more ideas now.Have loved looking at all the creativity going on on blogger even though I wasn't posting or creating much. It is so amazing reading about the lives and art that inhabit this space - it is so humbling and inspiring. Here's to the count down to Christmas. Thanks for stopping by. C XXXX
