Warmer days and a cuppa


On a really frosty day here in the north east of the UK. I  got to thinking about warmer days.
First call for  this post   will be to say  hello to friends over at.....

Every week we are made very welcome with a drinks related post.


A  cuppa is a must for me when I am in my craft room,
the choice is  usually tea with a splash of milk.

I have  added some work in progress photos, the background was a brusho mop up background, top photos on the right.
As it dried I realised it was a terrible muddy colour,
a sprinkle of red powder and a spritz of water seemed to cheer it up.
I had the  found scene from an old calendar , that I wanted to use, together with the
 die cut days of the week. If you look closely at the  bottom photo, I had stamped a sentiment that  I ended up colouring over as well, thanks to the fact that brusho powders have a mind of there own, when adding water..
The words and modes of transport  were computer generated .

It may be cold outside but I am ready for a warmer adventure, so will join the folk at ...
and Erika's theme of....
New Year, new adventures.

Thank you for calling in today, your visit is always very much appreciated.

  2. I do love your page! What a great idea and how life should be. Little or big, every day should be an adventure, I agree! And your cuppa looks warm and a good drink while be creative! Especially on a grey January day. We were grey today too, with a few flurries of snow. But your art piece did cheer me up. happy T day and thanks for joining in over at AJJ. Hugs-Erika

  5. Yvonne, your gorgeous journal page is out of this world. I love that you are counting down the days until the weekend. I also LOVE that you showed how you designed this. I've still never seen Brushos, so I am glad you like them. They may have a mind of their own, but they produce a lovely background page. Thanks for sharing it with us at Art Journal Journey.

    Your art goes so well with your beautiful cup of tea, too. It is the perfect addition and will keep you warm, too. Thanks for joining us for T this Tuesday.

  7. You are a pro - cheering up a muddy colour with brusho is more than clever! Your lovely robin cuppa even fits the page in colours and I love the idea of finding the adventure in ordinary things on every normal day! YES!
    I just read a quote that one should be together with people who find adventure in every normal day ..
    so I am with you Yvonne!!!
    Thank you for a nice cup of tea with a splash of milk and your wonderful page linked to Erika's theme.
    Happy T-Day ♥♥♥

  17. Wonderful happy page. I'm wishing for warmer weather, too. The bird on your cup reminds me of a robin, the first sign of Spring in my area of New England

  18. Yes - everyday should be an adventure - fabulous page Yvonne! (Lovely warm background colours)
    Love your robin mug too - I've noticed our robin sitting puffed up on the colder days and maybe wishing it was a warmer spring day :)
