<div style="text-align: center;">
as you can see it's rather a masculine looking card, & not my general style at all,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I quite like the neatness of it,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://www.theartisticstamper.com/journaling_stamps.htm">keep calm & carry on</a> stamp & the flags from the <a href="http://www.theartisticstamper.com/travel_stamps.htm">London</a> set of stamps, I stamped the images in <a href="http://www.theartisticstamper.com/archival_inks.htm">Jet Black archival ink</a> onto white card, then Matt & layered onto red & blue card, I die cut a pair of wings from Tim Holtz <a href="http://www.theartisticstamper.com/sizzix.htm">Heart Wings Die</a> using textured card, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
then assembled the whole thing using foam pads to give some dimension,</div>

finishing off with a red ribbon & bow.</div>

I don't really speak about personal stuff on my blog, as I think fellow crafter's are here to look at the art & craft stuff & not have me waffle on about me & mine (we all have our own issues & things going on)<br />
<br />
but I feel I owe you all a little explanation, so to out line a little, my mum broke her back, & was in hospital for ages, now she is home I have to help her every day after work, my sister-in- law died unexpectedly at 42, leaving 3 of her children that were still at home & all under 18, with no where to live (long story) my niece had just had a baby of her own she was only 2 months old when it all happened, so they all moved in, my father-in-laws cancer came back & he died with in a month (more hospital visits & another funeral to go to) I work full time & have my husband & 15 year old son to look after, & all that goes with them as well, so I have been stretched pretty thin,<br />
so no time for crafting, for a lot of us, crafting is our own little quiet place to get away from every day life<br />
(well it is for me) but there hasn't been enough hours in the day or the inclination to do it, my art & craft seems to be the first to be put on the back burner, when I have a lot going on, & the mojo theft comes & steels any ideas I have in my head.<br />
any way enough about me,<br />
Jennie (the artistic stamper) was so nice about letting me have a few weeks of of the design team,<br />
thank you Jennie, I do appreciate your patience with me.<br />
I am hoping to get back to it soon,<br />
& while all my personal life has been messed up, I have also had my first set of stamp designs (houses) made into rubber, EXCITING they are now available to buy from <a href="http://www.theartisticstamper.com/new_stamps.htm">the artistic stamper</a> so my art work will be focusing on them I expect, LOL. I have submitted more designs in this range so if you like the houses the WATCH THIS SPACE, any way I have waffled on about me for long enough,<br />
here is some art work<br />
the first thing I have made with my house stamps for <a href="http://theartisticstampercreativeteam.blogspot.co.uk/">the artistic stamper creative team</a><br />

I am quite excited to share with you my first page in my journal,<br />
if you want to know what type of book I am using & why<br />
you can click <a href="http://www.katscraftcreations.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-journal-for-2012.html">HERE</a> to go to an earlier post, or scroll down to it.<br />
<br />
I have decided that I am not going to shear how I made the pages,<br />
only what I used,<br />
as I spend so much time blogging my posts because of my dyslexia<br />
& I get very frustrated with spell check because I don't know<br />
which word that comes up is the right one (I think I over sheared there)<br />
I have never admitted my learning difficulties here before (scary stuff)<br />
any way I want to focus more on creating the pages (because that's what I love)<br />
& not blogging them, I hope you all understand.<br />
<br />
Here's page 1,<br />

Just some info today,<br />
& no pics (sorry) well maybe just one.<br />
<br />
Just before Christmas I said I was going to start a journal,<br />
& try to create a page each week, or at worst each fortnight,<br />
well I have started it (my first page will show up here in a few days)<br />
but first I wanted to tell you about the book I have decided to use<br />
I was going to buy a moleskine journal<br />
but after some research I found some people say that they fall apart,<br />
& that you can't get them too wet (because the pages buckle)<br />
I then tried some others,<br />
& finally settled on this one because of it's size & it's weight of pages,<br />
it is, DALER ROWNEY EBONY ARTIST SKETCH BOOK A5<br />
it is 150g/m2 & 101lbs, it has 62 pages, it's acid free cartridge paper,<br />
the pages feel nice & thick as well as smooth, & the book is a reasonable price.<br />
here's a pic of the label on my A4 book,<br />
which I haven't been brave enough to use yet, but is exactly the same.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-0QbimIdHBX8o80zf446LbFBgPp2c_5HSn7oM82va2aSCvBcCSXgzcfq8AKMJqagx1XIWaNYkqAGdoWohyphenhyphenvLuYduuaz_oDpDyz4UXDjsGFnxmz_5H8BziWuJl6dYgqAskwasfNtqcW8o2/s1600/SDC12747.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-0QbimIdHBX8o80zf446LbFBgPp2c_5HSn7oM82va2aSCvBcCSXgzcfq8AKMJqagx1XIWaNYkqAGdoWohyphenhyphenvLuYduuaz_oDpDyz4UXDjsGFnxmz_5H8BziWuJl6dYgqAskwasfNtqcW8o2/s200/SDC12747.JPG" width="150" /></a></div>so far I have made a few pages using<br />
all sorts of different mediums & the pages hold up<br />
very well, if I use distress ink then i don't use a<br />
gesso over the page, unless I want a more subtle colour,<br />
if I used acrylic paint, neo color 2 crayons or ink<br />
sprays then I have given the page a base of gesso,<br />
I have also just bought a product called adsorbent ground made by golden,<br />
I will let you know how I get on with that as I go.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope this info has been a help to someone,<br />
see you soon with my first page.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by,<br />
Back soon,<br />

Today I am shearing my first page<br />
that I painted for my life book, year long art journal course,<br />
if you don't know what it's all about,<br />
you can click <a href="http://willowing.ning.com/">HERE</a> to find out, & sign up,<br />
it's never to late as you can join in & start at any time,<br />
because the classes stay there for you to download<br />
& take at your own pace.<br />
Plus as an added bonus,<br />
depending on which package you sign up to,<br />
you can take 1,2 or 3 of Tams past courses (of your choice)<br />
cool hay, so get your behind over <a href="http://willowing.ning.com/">THERE</a> & check it out.<br />
Don't worry if you are a beginner, like me as all<br />
skill levels are welcome.<br />
<br />
This is the first time I have painted a face after sketching one,<br />
& this is only my second ever sketch,<br />
(the first was done in the fab faces course<br />
{one of Tam's other courses} I only done week one then lost my nerve)<br />
so as this life book course is running live,<br />
I am determined to be brave, & keep up with it.<br />
<br />
Here's my first page, (it's a fold out)<br />

</div>Well there it is,<br />
looking back through this year,<br />
I can definitely say that my confidence has grown so much,<br />
at first I was so frightened of making a mistake that I wouldn't stick anything down<br />
& I would write out what I wanted in each square on scrap<br />
to make sure it was spaced properly & that it would fit on the square.<br />
As the months went on I didn't worry so much about it all being perfect,<br />
I stuck it all down straight away, so if I made a mistake it would have to stay there,<br />
because that's the whole point of art journaling,<br />
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE JOURNEY & NOT THE END RESULT,<br />
I get that now,<br />
by doing this calender for a whole year it has given me the confidence to go onto bigger things,<br />
so instead of doing the calender challenge again, I am going to do a journal instead,<br />
I would like to say I am going to do a page a week & end up with 52 pages,<br />
but I think that would be to much pressure, so it will be one a month total 12 for definite,<br />
but if I can fit it in I would like to make a page fortnightly I'll see how I get on,<br />
<br />
Well I think I have waffled on enough for one day,<br />
so I'll be off.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by,<br />
Back soon,<br />
