Ten Minute Tuesday

Hello there and welcome to another Ten Minute Tuesday post What a glorious sunny week it's been here in my part of Scotland and what a difference that makes to my energy levels and desire to craft. Well what have I managed in my ten minute bursts this week then. I had already started the background for these pages in my wee A6 seaside journal but I finished off by pressing on some pink dylusions ink which was left on stencil, stamping some teal dots with a Bo Bunny background stamp (these are fab quality stamps and stamp really well) and pressing some white paint through a circle stencil. I then cut out a wee beach hut and stamped on using another one of the Bo Bunny background stamps (weather wood one). I stuck it to the page with gel medium and doodled round it with a pit pen. I cut the patterned semi circle pieces from the cover of a clothing catalogue - the fab pattens on them reminded me of the spirograph set I had when I was young. I gessoed over a turqouise section on the left hand side. The journalling is on the left hand page, the little beach hut and round each of the semi circles but all together it reads "Wouldnt it be just perfect to sit in a little beach hut and watch the waves, What would be my fantasy home, well strangely not something very grand, something very simple would do me" and I finished with the words on the beach hut "A little Beach Hut by the sea ..just for me" Why dont you pop over to Vickis blog The Biskit Barrel and see what she's been up to this week

  9. p.s it's very grey and blowy here today in Kent. The tree's across the road are swaying alarmingly. I'm hoping it stays dry for the school walk later - you watch, when we come up to Scotland in August we'll bring all this gloom with us ;)
