inspriation avenue - favorite month

Dearest Minions,

Inspiration Avenue have asked what is your favorite month. Mine is July, it has a lot of birthday's in it so I get to spoil a lot of good people, we get some sunny weather and everything is growing. July is a month that I look forward to, especially on damp miserable days like today.

This picture was taken a couple of years ago in the Great Churchyard in Bury St Edmunds, I often walk through the Churchyard, which is wonderful peaceful area in the centre of Town. One part of it is allowed to go wild while other areas are careful groomed (we have people in Bury who write into the local paper to say that grass should be 3 inches long....if only they would join amnesty international and do some real good. Although providing exasperated amusement is good for me.) I love the swaying cow parsley in the wild area, which becomes a white shadow in the dusk. I once saw a Kestrel  bring down a fat pigeon through these trees.

Dearest Minions,

First I did this page, which I really enjoyed and then I got all inpsired and here are some cards that resulted.

 

Fingers crossed all the pages are so useful.

Pay it Forward

Pay it forward 2011.

I promise to send (or deliver) something handmade to the 1st 5 people who leave a comment.

They must in turn post this and send something they made to the 1st 5 people who comment on their Blog Post.

The rules are that it must be handmade by you and it must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011.

this idea comes from the most excellent scrapbooking is cheaper than therapy

Dearest Minions,

Very occasionally I become a teenager and get all excited about music again, this is wonderful. Clare Maguire "ain't nobody" unlike most videos which are all outfits and dubious jiggling up and down this song and video are perfect for one another. Fingers crossed for 2011 less Hannah Montana and more Clare Maguire.

please note the high heels; a fasion must when you are sat on a chair in high winds in the desert.

Practical crafting

Dearest Minions,

Here is a device to settle discussions about whether the plates should go in the dishwasher or be piled at the side. The device uses the new heraldry die cuts from spellbinders and an old chipboard heart that I had knocking around. The sword can be turned to state whether the dishwasher needs to be loaded or unloaded.

New art Journal pages

Dearest Minions,

I wish you joy and discovery for this New Year, be happy and healthy. Here are two new pages for my brand spanking new journal. Bird song and Angel. For some reason the Journal seems to be having a theme of flight and wings. I am not sure why, as I only like birds from a distance. I was once chased by a mutant cockerel (it had been on growth hormone so it was like some kind of huge, body building aggression monster, think Florida drugged up body builder in a chicken.)

Happy New Year.

inspriation avenue - New Year

Dearest Minions,
Greetings and Salutations Mes Ami,

Here is my entry to this week's Inspiration Avenue challenge. I was lucky enough to be given by a good friend a Elephant poo paper book and another good friend gave me Alphabetica by Lynne Perrella. I want to try an Art journal this coming year and below is my first page. I have really enjoyed reading and looking at the pictures in the book they are such a good trigger and can anyone sane really not love a book made out of Elephant poo paper?

 

I hope to improve and develop new ways of making mess on my craft table.

Have a wonderful new year my most wonderful Bunnies of Doom!
