Busy Beavering Away

I have been busy doing different things.  I have joined a different group called Mission Inspirations which is run by Mike Deakin.

Again it is an art journalling group with 8 promps each month to follow along with words and colours to also inspire.

I have found this more challenging than Art Journal Prompts as those are single word prompts which I enjoy as I'm more free to choose the colours and what I want to do.

I have given some ago though but not all have been successful.

I would just like to add that I now have a WordPress blog as well and I have been using that for my journalling.

Here's the link to that if you fancy checking it out.

But Missions for September and October are below



These are the prompts for September and here's my piece


Magpies ... I've used the word Vagabond as Magpies are right little thieves even though them 'collecting shiny things' is apparently a bit of a myth. They just pick up all sorts of things.

I wasn't too happy with this one as the early stages didn't come out too well but I think the gold may have saved the day!!



Here comes October Mission....


It had to be Halloween like, of course, I just love Halloween .....

Autumn's Bounty


Oh I did have fun with this though.... I used embossing powder for the cobwebs and my new Tim Holtz Pumpkin Patch stamps along with a few extra card cutouts I found on a Mr Kipling cakes box. ... very cool, matched perfectly!! (The flying witch, cat, bats and spider all came from the box).

I'm a bit stuck on Novembers but I think December's is going to be much easier. I might just skip November's for the time being as I keep changing things and I'm  not sure about my focal image.

Its all in the learning and practice of course.

If you check out my other blog you will find more things I've been doing over there.


Until next time

Bye for now
