the 70th year of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the throne, 

I've created two watercolour ATC's to commemorate the event.

Stamped using the Paperbabe PORTRAIT FACE each face models a 

different style traced using the WILLOW and SERENA hair templates. 

Wearing fussy cut platinum painted WHIMSY Crowns embellished 

with red, white and blue gems fit for a Queen.

*Anything Goes* creations with us HERE.

wish you all sunshine & creativity

2021 Bakers Dozen

 Hello creative Friends 

How fast this year has flown I can hardly believe 

it's time again to reflect back on artwork of 2021. 

Starting with a page from my Care December Junk Journal, 

without those early morning 5 minute prompts from Kasia Avery 

I know I'd have not set foot in my craft space during December.. 

Words of comfort guiding the start to my day, each prompt gave 

me inspiration on how to reclaim a little piece of each day..

This unshared page I believe fits well with Valerie's Theme

May 2022 bring good health and peace to you all. 

Stay safe and ever creative

Hello Everyone 

It's *Anything Goes* @ Paperbabe Stamps #150 Challenge

with a prize for one random winner if you wish to share your 

creativity over HERE and join the Paperbabe Stamps Challenge.

This month i'm sharing a page from my handmade DL journal, 

created to hold and display my die cut Jointed Paperbabe Art Dolls. 

Cut from papers found amongst my stash, i'm unsure why I've 

never used them as I adore those vintage monotone colours. 

With her Portrait stamped face and Aleesha style hair cut from the template. 

she sits secure behind the Sparkle stamp band. 

... a little peep inside my journal an ongoing work in progress..  

Hope to see your *Anything Goes* creations

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #146 ~ Anything Goes

 Happy Friday everyone, 

Time for a new Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #146 

There's a Paperbabe prize to be won up to £20* 

for one randomly chosen participant... HERE

Today my Design Team project is a page from my journal..

Blog visitors will already know I have a love for portraiture and flowers 

this piece is very much back to basics coloured using just pencil and paint. 

First stamping out her face, her hair was drawn by tracing around a template. 

Given a floral crown she is painted with fresco paint then coloured with pencil.

Given wings you may be led to believe she is a Fairy but please do not be 

mistaken for she's a Butterfly Girl ready to spread her wings and be seen.

Look forward to seeing your 

Anything Goes Creations. 

Stay safe & Creative 

Hugs Tracey xx

 Hello Creative Friends, 

The last day of the year has arrived which means 

I get to repost a handful of my favourite makes of 2020. 

As many of my personal favourites I've not shared this year I'm 

breaking tradition by starting with my favourite unshared piece 

which is also my last page as Guest Host @ Art Journal Journey 

The meaning of .. words. 

This journal page bares my outstretched hand resting on a painted 

foliage paper. Every day since creating this page I have placed a 

new word or affirmation in the hand to start my day.. words help. 

Today I'm placing Thank YOU a little word with a huge heart. 

Shared with gratitude to all those that have been supportive, 

shown kindness, strength and consideration. Been an ear or 

virtual shoulder to cry on or just believed in me... 

I thank YOU all.

 

Now time to share and revisit a tiny piece of my 2020

A5 pretty papers don't the Paperbabe Dolls wear them well.

showing off her new die cut and stamped 3/4 view face. 

Her hairstyle is one of many to fashion, mix and match 

just like those faces in profile, left & right 3/4 view.

she missed her Halloween party like many of us last weekend. 

She's demonstrating when used with the jointed Art Doll's 

unique paper brad system it gives a seamless appearance. 

A revolutionary way to construct articulated hinges, giving us 

an alternative option to those metal brads we all know & love.

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge ~ #131 Picture Inspiration

 Hello Creative Friends. 

It's time for a new challenge over @ Paperbabe Stamps 

This fortnight we give you a Picture for Inspiration below. 

Use it to inspire you and come share your creativity HERE.

*Here's my interpretation of the challenge*

Inspired by the colours and shapes in the picture prompt and techniques 

discovered during a Laly Mille workshop I created a divided journal page. 

Working within the lines I've used scraps from previous Paperbabe 

creations using Paperbabe STAMPs and STENCILs, embossed pastes, 

paint, leaves and lace to create a mixed media journal page.. 

Here's a closer look of my two favourites 

A happy little leaf family.. 

Uplifting quote from Picasso alongside a dormant Sunday best dress..

Whether i'll keep this A3 page as it is, create a smaller journal 

or divide each section individually, i'm undecided but I must say 

the process was very relaxing to work on from start to finish..

Look forward to seeing your 

#131 Picture Inspiration creations. 

Stay safe & creative 

Tracey xx
