Art Journal - Rustic Tress

Hi Lovelies,

I'm back again with some more Art Journal goodness! This week's page has more of an earthy feel to it with plenty of textures and natural tones.

The colour palette for the page consists of light green, bold orange, and sienna with splashes of blue. Although these are Helen's chosen colours, ladies are more than welcome to mix things up and change them.

Helen has been loving using tea bags in her pages and so have we! There's nothing better than an excuse to have more cups to tea! Plus you can use them to create incredible pages like this!

On top of the various layers used to make the background, Helen has used the wonderful technique of repetition and stamped this gorgeous tree pattern to make a lovely feature. Use the Stampendous Script Tree stamp to get the same effect as Helen for this page.

There is always plenty of room for error in Art Journalling which is half the fun of it!
If you mess something up or aren't happy with a specific layers, no need to stress as there will be many more layers to come. After all, art is not perfection!

A little bit of foam mounting tape always does the trick to add a little extra dimension to the page without too much hassle.

As Helen always loves to do, adding an inspirational or personal quote is a lovely way to finish of your art journal page. The quote chosen for this weeks page is, "Storms make tress take deeper roots."

Our blog is full of many stunning Art Journal pages just like this so feel free to check them out! However, to really get in on the action and excitement, come along and join one of the classes in store! No matter if you're a beginner or serious crafter, Art Journaling is a wonderful way to learn new techniques and create some beautiful pieces.

Hi all, Here a brief overview of our 2 day adventure on Fraser Island with Fraser Island Explorer Tours. Here is a link to our trip in video format. https://youtu.be/QY8tr093G4o We were picked up from our accommodation by our tour guide who then picked up some more of our group and headed to the barge to go across to the Island. It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventually w

Hervey Bay and the case of the missing whales.

Hi lovelies, It has been some 8 months since our last post. Travel around the world has certainly changed in 2020. We had not planned to do too much traveling in the first half of the year, but we quickly discovered that us making that decision and the government telling us that we won't are two very different things. :-). Feeling the need for a bit of a break, and a touch of fishing we headed for Hervey Bay on Wednesday. We had a great drive up, even managed to stop for a quick chat with the lovely Shirley in Cooya. On Thursday we headed for a quick trip to the information centre. To my surprise Robbie wanted to book another whale watching cruise. We spoke at length to the agent there and finally chose what was supposed to be the calmest day for the next week. It was then off for a drive along the coast line from Point Vernon to Urangan. The day was beautiful, though there were large patches of mist/fog that hung around some of the coast. We had a lovely wander along the

New South Wales Adventure - Tenterfield

Hi lovelies, A little earlier start this morning than yesterday. We were up having a lovely breakfast by 8am. It was a little sad this morning as we said goodbye to Steph and Leo. We have had such a blessed time with them and we look forward to catching up with them again when we head to South Australia next year. As the weather was drizzly today we decided to head off to visit some of the nearby National Parks. Our day consisted of dirt roads, mossy paths, lots of kangaroos and very few cars. Gramps we are very sorry but the O Mobile is in great need of a bath. If it rains tonight I will be sending Robbie out in his swimmers to give it a wash. Our first stop was to see Thunderbolts Hideout. It is a short walk through some bush to see where this apparently "gentlemanly" bushranger hid. It was then back into the car and off to see the Tank Traps that were part of the Brisbane Line. It is a fairly visually unimpressive place for such an important part
