This page was very therapeutic indeed :-))) Infact I strongly recommend you do one of these yourself LOL! The quote came from a fabulous book called 'The way of f**k it: Small book big idea'.
Before you say it I KNOW the numbers are in the wrong order. I'd like to say it was intentional...but it wasn't! Doh!!
I don't actually own said book yet, I pinched the quote off Dyan, but I am trying out a new way of shopping. As this book is available from Amazon, I have sneakily added it to the shopping basket. Next time my husband goes to buy something from Amazon he will just click on checkout, pay for all the goods, and my book will magically appear with the next order. Ingenious n'est pas? I'll let you know if it works, it could change the way you shop forever.
And this handsome little guy is a Stampotique stamp of course (er....come to think of it, I nicked that off Dyan too...) and the hat is by Dyan's Downloads.
I went to an Art Journaling workshop at Art from the Heart yesterday and had a ball as usual :-) Dyan got us to choose a colour so obv I chose pink which is my fave colour, but then we had to create a collage page using only magazines. This took me well out of my comfort zone but I did manage to produce this:
Not my usual style but it is good to be pushed into something new once in a while.
And finally, seems you all don't mind a bit of bad language (tsk tsk!) so here is the page from the previous page in full. If you don't want to see it LOOK AWAY NOW!!
Twatt is the name of a place in Scotland. I had no idea!! Wow, fancy living somewhere with a name like that! I had to google it to see if it really existed. Seems there are quite a few places with rude names!!
Right, I'm off. Byeeeeeeeeeee
I have to say, your **f**k** page is BRILLIANT! I FEEL a NEED to make one for myself!!! (Only I think it'll have to be much larger!!!)
ReplyDeleteLove the new wings and the pretty pink page! Fabulous idea! To add to your list, there is an Intercourse, Pennsylvania here in the States! Hugs & Smiles, Terri xoxo
OMG, I totally agree with Terri, this is f**cking awesome. I just love all the pink,and as for the collage of 'Dave', I just think his legs and socks are brilliant. Don;t know where you get all your ideas from, but wish my mind worked the same as yours. xx
ReplyDeleteHa ha love it now its finished and you know what? I say F**k it to putting the numbers in the right order.!! lmao.. Btw, I,m glad you put the Twatt page on cos I,m outting a sneak of it on mine .!! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely pages hope you have emailed Uncle David or even Ian Hislop, I'm sure he would find a place for the page in his little mag!! x c
ReplyDeletelove them all, and Twatt is really quite mild to what I was thinking, and f**k it page is genius. Am currently using your blog as inspiration to do some journal backgrounds, will let you know when done,but am well chuffed myself. Will make a Crane'ite yet, LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the f**k it idea :) and I'm pleased to see your previous page in all it's glory. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteAnd your Amazon shopping idea is genius only I'm obviously not as I've just told my husband -duh!
i love everything!!!!great job!!you rock
ReplyDeleteBrilliant page today, I am so going to do one of those!! I also laughed so much at the twatt!! Made my evening thanks xx
ReplyDeleteAnd you insist you're not a rebel...?!? Love the F**k it page...I could fill a book of them right now!! Great therapy indeed.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you've discovered the 'Phantom Shopper Method' on Amazon (named so by moi) It has served me well over the years...
Could have put money on it being Twattsville...it just fits SO well!! Used to live in Newfoundland where amongst many dubious sounding place names they have a town called Dildo and an area call Conception Bay (and Conception Bay South!!) xx
Absolutely hiarious. I love the f**k it page and now you can say f**k it to putting numbers in the correct order! The page using magazines is fabulous as are all your pages :-) I love that your OH will be paying for your purchase unawares hehe
ReplyDeleteAnne xx
All fab stuff, the backgrounds are to die for and I always loved Twatt...........gorgeous place!!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I don't think I've laughed so much in a long while! I needed that, lol. Thanks for the laugh but also for the fab artwork.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd find a book thick enough to put all my f**k its in! For someone who desn't use the F word....... I'm learning fast! Great page!
ReplyDeleteHahaha thought it might have been Twat Kate - love that page and the name fits so Mr Cameron should wear it!
ReplyDeleteI love the F**K page too but what happened to the tenth one or did you think "f**k it I'm only having 9!" hahahaha

Kate, you are so witty! Love the **** it page (as my hubby will be going for ordination training soon, perhaps I'd better do my page in secret!)
ReplyDeleteYour pink page is brilliant - great to see YOU out of your comfort zone - see... even then you're inspirational! And Mr Cameron, we would never have suspected you of having such fabulous taste in clothes....so becoming...and that place, well it obviously suits you Sir!
