Two wall hangings

Afternoon peeps, it's raining here and looking a little miserable; so I thought I would post two little wall hangings I recently did. This one using PaperArtsy stamps will be winging it's way to my brother-in-law's wife, as a thank you for taking the time to listen to my woes. It's only when life throws a 'curve ball' do you find out who your true friends are.
  Anyway, this was created by stamping the images and then using white crayons to create a resist. After that I spray inked Dylusions in Lime & Sky Blue. I just love the colours and coverage you get from them. Made a frame using an odd section of garden supports. Then stuck on a few stamped flowers from another stamping plate.

This next one uses a stamp from Crafty Individuals and a small canvas. As I am experimenting trying to find what I like most, I seem to have no particlar style at the moment. I like both of them, but the one above speaks to me the most.

Therapy in a Journal

Since the 'computer expert' has gone I have tried to fill some pages of an Art Journal I had started a few months back. I find that my emotions are a little erratic at the moment and I don't like being filled with anger, not with someone I still, rightly or wrongly, love. So I have begun to use my journal as a bit of therapy.

Not sure I am making much progress in the sanity department, my daughter thinks I have had a brain fart.
I am trying lots of different techniques and probably making some up as well.
I had a particular bad week this last one and I think that shows from my dark page. There are some other pages that I haven't finished yet, but will post them up when I have.

My first picture upload!

Been worried for some time how on earth I would get my creations on my blog... Well I have a very savy daughter who looks at me like I am from the dinosaur age! "What you don't know how to do any of this yet, mum!" So I enlist her help and voila... what do you think?

This is my first card for a challenge. http://craftyindividualsblog.blogspot.com/ Daughter now laughing at me cause I did a huge whoopy for learning how to do a link. Anyway, this is for the 'Free as a Bird' challenge at Crafty Individuals, who I visited at Port Sunlight this last weekend. I bought three stamps from them but could quite have easily re-mortgaged my house.
Now I know how simple this is I might be on here everyday..Ha Ha
