Welcome to April

Well still managing to keep up on time this year, can't believe it. Well only keeping up with the 365 Art Journal organised by the fabulous Mrs C, take a look here to see what I'm talking about.  Still got lots of other things only half done or not even started.  I've had an excuse though because we've just had a fabulous time at our daughters in Essex, got to spend some brilliant time with my granddaughters, plus lots of hugs and kisses.  Then went onto Hampstead to stay a few days with friends of ours and we had a lovely day last Wednesday at Kew.  It was so hot and sunny, I had to buy a sun hat in the Kew shop, so you can imagine how much that cost, lol.


April ready to go


March finished

When I now look at April's I see the blocks are not on straight, must be something wrong with my brain because it looked alright when I was doing it.  Anyway, as usual, Dylusion paints, sprays and stencils. Stamps are Stampotique by Jo Capper-Sandon and 7 Gypsies.

  1. Gorgeously bright, bold and colourful. Beautiful pages but I wouldn't expect anything else from you! Glad you had some 'time out' - perfect weather, too. Hope you don't get the snow we have forecast for tonight/tomorrow - hard to believe, isn't it after such glorious sunshine!?

  10. Great page or April, I hadn't noticed the the journal squares were even. I had the same problem as mine go over two pages and the lines do not match up. Hopefully it won't notice once the journaling begins.

  11. Predictive typing on an iPad is a pain, it changes too many words. Must proof read before publishing comment. Sorry for all the errors!
