Fauxbonichi journal pages and a gifted card :)

More pages in my Fauxbonichi journal :)
This one isn't as artsy as some of my others, but I have a sign on my Craft table that says "Not every page needs to be a Masterpiece"
I have to repeat this to myself over and over, lol.

I don't always follow the challenges that are posted on the Fauxbonichi Journalers group that I follow on Facebook, but this day I combined two of them.
We had to draw an umbrella.
Yup, that what that is, teehee….I added some stamped leaves falling as I thought it would look more fallish.
The other challenge was to write in faux calligraphy.
I actually do calligraphy, and found this challenge so much fun.

For the second page I did a journal challenge.
The question "Would you rather carry a 1kg of feathers or a 1kg of stones.
I noticed most of the journalers picked stones as the bag would be smaller…which makes sense.
But I had a different outlook on the question.
Plus I was able to stamp my TH wings on my page :)

I spent most of my day with my middle daughter Heather as I had a lot of errands and she only worked in the morning, so came along :)
I love spending the day with my girls….I even got to spend the evening with all of them tonight.
Wayne and I are heading across the border for the weekend, so Ashley wanted to come by to see us before we left :)

I received this adorable, sweet and beautifully coloured card from my friend Phillane.
If you are a YouTube watcher, you know her as Pea from Whimsical Endevors.
Isn't this the cutest card and image?!

She also wrote me a very sweet touching letter inside.
Look at these die cuts…aren't these leave so pretty!!!

I am off to go and pack for our trip :)

Hope you all had a very Creative Day today :)

House Dangles and Doodles in my Fauxbonichi Journal

These pages are on the top of my list for some of my favourite pages!!
Isn't this a fun one :)

I was inspired by Kim, from my one Fauxbonichi Journalers group I follow on FB.

I loved how she doodled around her page.

It took a bit for me to go free form, lol

I started with the straight lines..which I used a ruler for….even though I could have just followed the lines on the grid paper.

After that I told myself…just doodle lady!!!

So I did :)

I knew I was going to journal about a couple of more homes that I have lived in..plus it was zentangle/dangle Tuesday, so I drew some dangling houses….and hearts, as I love hearts :)

At first I was just going to colour in the houses and hearts, but then decided to colour in the doodle design as I like more colour to my pages :)
I used my Distress markers for all of the colouring.

Here are my pages complete….except, yet again, I took the photo before adding what made me smile on those 2 days :)

I had my friend Sharon and Lynne over this afternoon for a bit of a friendly creative time together, so I was creative today….I hope you all had a creative day today :)

Journal pages..Last weekend at the cottage.

Another couple of pages from my fauxbonichi journal :)
These pages were from our last weekend at the cottage.
Every weekend when we are at the cottage I usually added some type of trees to my pages.
We are surrounded by the forest and our lake out there.
I have also created a few pages on our weekends out there, with a lake scene :)
But enough about me missing our cottage….

I added wood grain washi to the top of my page and grass washi tape to the bottom….then the tree stickers on both pages.

I also stamped maple leaves for the background in different fall ink colours :)
Lastly I wrote about our weekend on some journal cards :)

I hadn't wrote about the things that made me smile for those days. I took the photo before I added them to my pages.

I hope you all had a very creative day today :)

The Perfect House

I thought I would share some of my pages in my journal for this month.
I stamped these house stamps, as I had decided that my journaling was going to be about homes.

I didn't have anything special happen on the 1st and 2nd of this month, so I decided to do a bit of journaling.

This page was about The Perfect House.
There are a few things everyone would like for their perfect house, here are mine :)

I am going to do a few pages on Places I've Lived.
This one is about the first house I remember living in.
I was chatting with my brother about what I remember about this house.
He and my SIL were shocked on how much I remembered, especially since I was about 2.

I really enjoy journaling about my memories…can you tell ;)
I hope you all had a very Creative Day :)

Zombie Cat.

You all know what I will be doing tonight, teehee.

Yes friends, I will not talk to you or text you during this hour…..but call me later and we can discuss the show ;)

Oh look a zombie kitty trying to get in our window, lol.

Kristy was washing her bedding, and when my girls wash their bedding they keep the door closed as they don't want Luna on the bed.
Our Luna is an open door type of cat.
What I mean by that, is if a door is closed, that is the room she wants to be in.
Kristy had forgot her door open during dinner, so Luna snuck in.
I see she tried to hide behind the blinds….not only is she obviously visible by her shadow, but her tail is hanging below the blind as well, lol.

I hope you all have a creative day today….I did :)

FNS and a couple of cards

Another fun night of creating :)

I made a couple of cards tonight.
I stamped the image and then coloured them up with my Chameleon markers.
No real shading to this image though.

We had a funeral to attend this afternoon and I totally forgot to bring a card.
I can't believe I forgot…I will have to mail them first thing in the morning.

I hope you all had a very creative Day.

Beautiful view.

Look at this view!!!!

The sun shinning off the lake is just breathtaking. 

It was so foggy out there that it is hard to make out the Sleeping Giant. 

I took these photos out of the clinic window. Pretty good eh? 

Then came home for a bit of a snack ;)

I hope you all had creative day :)
