Fame and Photographs

Hi All and welcome to Jumbled Crafts.

At the Craft Barn this time the words are Fame and Unique.

I used black and white acrylic paint for the background and the song Hall of Fame by the Script. I sort of thought the words were 'Edge of Fame'-should have looked it up first :)

Yesterday we went to the cliffs at Bempton to see if the there were any puffins.

 It is so different now as the RSPB have upgraded the centre and you have to go through their visitor's centre to get to cliffs and see the birds. They asked everyone to pay £5 for parking a car but we said we had walked there and they did let us go through to the cliff top without paying. We don't have a car so it was a long hard walk to get there and the paths were full of puddles. Better than it used to be as it was a dangerous walk along a busy lane. A path has been made recently using part of the hedgerow.

Here are a few photographs we took

This one is looking north toward Filey Brigg and in the distance Scarborough. If you are ever in this area do try the walk along Filey Brigg-it isn't easy but it is amazing. It is covered when the tide is in so take care.

            These are guillemots and the holes in the earth at the tops of the cliffs should be full of puffins but sadly there weren't any yesterday .

These are seagulls which often return to the same nesting place each year with the same partner-there are hundreds that nest near us on the roofs of an industrial estate. They can live up to 40 years and here in Bridlington they live on Fish and Chips.

Gannets gather together and nest closely in groups. Their yellow heads stand out.

More puffin burrows on the tops of the cliff with no puffins--many of the burrows have been taken over by pidgeons

We are still hoping the puffins will arrive soon and then we will go on a boat trip from Bridlington harbour which is the best way to see them or if you really want to see some very close up take a boat trip from Seahouses in Northumberland which is just too wonderful to describe-at this time of year the array of birds is amazing and there are seals as well

Hope you enjoyed the trip and thank you for calling in

Journal Page and Tag

Hello Everyone and welcome to Jumbled Crafts--thank you for your visit :) I am feeling tired as it rained a lot during the night and kept me awake for some reason. We get enough rain for me to be used to it I'm sure.

At The Craft Barn this time they have Marriage and Age as the challenges words. I chose a quote though you can choose lyrics and make anything at all that has the theme.

I started off with a pale background that was created from weak mixtures made up from strong coloured spray inks. Then I stamped love and the heart from a Chocolate Baroque set 'Punky Romance. Next came the Debbi Moore design that I cut from a wedding invitation. The quote I found on Google and the tree thing is a doodle I painted when I coloured the stamped images.

Next is my tag for Tag Along where the theme this week is Cats.

I started off with a green coloured tag then did blobs here and there with Bingo Markers. Then I sprayed it all with water and let some of it run and other bits I blended to make the background.

The cat was on a kiddie colouring site and I just loved it. I found the quote and thought it showed there are two sides to every story because this cat looks ready for some mischief to me.

I hope you all have a lovely day

Journal page and Twinchie

Hello Everyone who pops into Jumbled Crafts and thank you for your visit.

This is the first of two posts I will be doing today as there will be a new challenge at Artful Times later so I will be showing my DT piece for there. It is a great theme for a lot of you so hope you will join in.

This week at the Twinchies Challenge the subject is idols.

This is my take. I just found a picture of an idol statue and printed it out twice to fit on a twinchie. I decoupaged one of the images to give it more depth then drew the dots down each side.

This is the second page in my journal for the 2014 Craft Barn Challenge The challenge is 'Quotes and Lyrics' for the whole year but we are given words to include for each challenge. The words this time are Silence and Dazzle-you can use either or both. I made a 'dazzling' background but most of it has been covered up with my silence images and quote.  The background was splodged acrylic paints. I found the little girl covering her ears on the net, added the word silence then the quote that I wrote out in Paint Shop Pro.

Have a good day and lovely weekend everyone
