I hope everyone has had an amazing Christmas. We have. Becca came out of hospital a couple of weeks ago after her op which seems to have been very successful. We were so happy to see her home and to know that she finally can eat normally again.
We had a family meal (9 of us) at our house on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and then went to our son's on Boxing Day. There were lots of presents round the tress and we all enjoyed opening our gifts together and sharing our excitement. What a lovely time we have had.
I still have some seasonal things to finish and show but for now here are more pages I am adding to my Finnabair Journal as I want to get all three grandchildren in it, this is the youngest.

I am creating all these pages as a double page spread.
These have a gesso base on coloured/patterned cardstock.
After adding torn card and trims I added more gesso through stencils.
Added more bits and pieces, gesso and then the photo and sprays.
Then came embellishments, some stamping, dripped tea, doodling and metallic wax.
Love these photos, they say so such about this special little girl.
Have a great weekend.
Have a great weekend.

So glad Becca was home and you had a fabulous family Christmas Brenda.
Looks like you completely absorbed your Finnabair workshop techniques as you have captured the style perfectly. LOVE the whole design, the colours, the stencilling, the embellies, well, everything! Can't wait to see more. Jenny xxx
Wow, Brenda - your pages are just stunning. You have the finnabair look just right with a twist of your own style. Happy (almost) New Year!
Lovely pages, Brenda, and what a sweetie. Glad your Christmas went well, as did ours. The only glitch here was the weather...all the ice and snow. It's starting to melt and I now have internet again...yaay!
