This week I am enabling again - I had a birthday voucher for the Stampers Grove from my friend Lesley and as always it came very quickly
my Art Journalling magazine subscription came too,I decided that I would buy myself something to bump up the order and make it worth while ordering (as you do!) so I added another stamp set and a stencil (you know I can never have too many stencils)
I actually got some journalling done at the weekend - two pages!
I used some patterned paper from my limited (ahem) supplies and a couple of stencils I've never used before...
this one needs words still
it was looking a bit empty.....
added a script stamp in white spaces,
still a bit empty...
Paints are Paperartsy Frescos
sentiment is from a JoFY set
Had a busy week, had the 48 hour heart monitor Wednesday and Thursday, which was very inconvenient for sleeping and washing! Then on Monday I had the cardio-MRI so we'll see if either throw up any ideas of why I had the original dizzy spell or whether I can just get on (as I have been doing anyway!)
I'll be round to see what you've all been up to soon.

Cool pages Helen, I love the layered look of the floral one. That diamond leaf stencil is fabulous. Nice new stash, enjoy! Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #?
Morning Helen. Loving those pages! Well done. I'm sure that monitor was really inconvenient to use - hope the results come back just fine!
Take care. Stay safe. God bless.

Morning Helen, I do like that stencil, and what you have done with it. Lovely work.
Hope the tests can identify the cause of your fall, and docs can work out to prevent any further falls and black eyes!
Bless you

Good luck with the MRI results.
Love your journaling. Love how you gessoed over the first layer and restamped.
Need to do more in my journal!
Keep well, Stay safe!

I would have ten of those heart monitors fitted for however long rather than an MRI. I now they are inconvenient but the thoughts of being in a tube just freezes me!
Know what you mean about the inconvenience of having those contraptions fitted for washing etc but at the moment I am not knowing when I can shower! This darned leg! Very hard to wash my now long hair too.
I just hope it shows that it was just a blip of some kind in your body and there is nothing amiss. The sooner you are able to forget about it and the better.
Just make sure you get those new stencils used up, have fun, use your newfound magazine to give you lots of great ideas. And don't forget to show us the results, please.
Hugs, Neet 11 xx
Your so right about stencils, they are one thing I never feel guilty about buying, lovely choice and your pages are fab, especially love the double page one. Gesso is a great thing to blend images into our backgrounds.
Fingers crossed on positive news on your results.. Happy WoywW Tracey #12 xx
Glad you’ve been getting on without incident...i wonder if your days of kneeling on the floor might be numbered...did you get up too fast and your blood couldn’t keep up with you? I know that would happen to me if I knelt to work!! I will be pleased to hear that the test reveal nothing though! I like the stencils you’ve used, very nice ones indeed. Great idea with the gesso to reduce the original images, i must remember that when i next cause something to be overdone, which is often, because I seem to fail constantly at knowing when to stop!!
I love your pages and especially the gesso one - the layering is really effective. I really like the Mixed Media stencils, fab little motifs. I do hope your results are good and you can move on and put it all behind you - I'll have everything crossed for you!

Hi Helen, loving the pages today. I love the Somerset Studio books too but ended up with so many just had to stop buying them but still like to go back to them. Have a lovely and productive WOYWW, Angela x15x
Hope the heart monitor/scan shows nothing untoward and you can carry on! Those new stencils are lovely, I really like the big flowery one - you'll get a lot of use out of that one!

Fingers crossed that all your tests come back normal.

Beautiful pages - but ...you shouldn't have shown me the magazine, as I didn't know it even existed!! I do now :/ .. ha ha . Have a great week . Soojay xx #19
Hi Helen, great pages and stencils, love the idea of the space in the middle. I looked at the magazine, but thought it was a bit pricey! I do like to see before I buy :)
Hi Helen, love how you problem solved the journal pages. I'll often add to my order to either justify the postage, or to get me free shipping,lol.I do like that leaf stencil, or are they trees? Hope all the tests come back as clear, Stay safe, have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #5 X
Beautiful Journal pages . . . really pretty.
those monitor thingies are a pain as I know only too well but better safe than sorry.
Take care and have a good week

Happy WOYWW. Some fine looking new stash there. I was just reading up on Facebook about cutting your own stencils with a Cricut machine, so put some mylar in my Amazon basket and will attempt to design my own stencils. Just the sort of thing I enjoy. Hope your test results show you are ok now. Ali x #29
I love the flowery page-what a lot of work you putvinto each of your pages. Fingers crossed for your results.
Thinking of you and keeping everything crossed for you.
Take good care of you xxx

Oooh I love those pages! The gessoed and re-done flowers are genius! Have a wonderful week, Lisa-Jane #16
Gorgeous stencilling pages, Helen, and it's fun watching you experiment with your lovely new stash! I hope you have had a good week and possibly got to Kew again.
Thank you for your visit - so glad you like my purple outfit, co-ordinating with the garden lol!! I had a brilliant session in the kitchen today and made several favourite recipes for lunch tomorrow - only a few finishing touches tomorrow before a fairly early start to get to E. Dorset by lunch time. I am impressed with the women's health team and from thinking at the beginning that they wouldn't be able to do anything, I am now really optimistic that things can improve. Even if I don't ever get sensation back, at least the advice to go more frequently has prevented that awful urgency and discomfort and I know I'm not causing over-stretching of the bladder any longer.
I hope you are OK now and that your arm has healed up!
Happy WOYWW,

HI Helen, I am pretending to not notice the new Leafy stamps lol... ( I am such a sucker for those) I have my fingers crossed that you get all the test results back soon and they have something do-able to fix it for you. Dizzy is no fun, ~Stacy #28
Love how you gessoed and restamped, really effective.
Hope your results come back OK. BJ#24
Great haul there Helen! I love the journal pages - lovely colours! Hope you get some answers soon! Hugs, Chrisx
I adore those Donna Downey daisies - they've played a part in some art journalling pages of mine too. They look amazing in that rich red colour, and I love how you gesso'd and added another layer of flowers. It gives it such depth.
I hope all those heart tests will result in some sort of helpful information to keep you safe from further dizzy spells and falls. Keeping fingers firmly crossed that you get to carry on carrying on!

Lovely stencils! And what a nice Art journal page you made with one of them.
Thank you for visiting my site earlier. That it was so many weeks since I was online ... thought it was yesterday ...
Have a great summer week!
