A look back at 2020

Here are my most liked posts on Instagram this year,
which covered a cross-section,
but not all, of my art projects.


Here is a photograph of 
my completed projects in my art room.


The Gratitude Challenge
with Dina Wakley
was done in my small Seawhite of Brighton journal,
which is not shown here.

Looking ahead to 2021,
I have enrolled in the Wanderlust class
which starts on 1st January.


It is a weekly class,
with a change to the theme
every four weeks.

I am planning on writing a blog post
just once a month.

To see what I am up to more frequently,
please either follow me on Instagram
or my newly created Facebook page

Looking Back ... Looking Forward

Week 52 in my
Mellow Kraft
Journal
.


The last journal theme
from France Papillon,
for December is
closure.


The final journal prompt is
2020.


I have used patterned paper
from Glenda Waterworth &
K-ology Addison patterned paper
from K & Company.


There is an image
from the Graphics Fairy,
photo corners by Paperchase,
washi tape,
words cut from an old novel
& printed text.


So that was quite a year.


One I doubt that we will ever forget.


I send you my very best wishes
for a happier & healthier new year.


My finished journal.


Thank you for following.
