Christmas Room Decoration and Children's Holiday Activity

Another technique I am itching to do more of is stencilling and spraying, I may have mentioned I love the work of Dina Wakeley who does some fantastic journals and altered art with stencils.

My children were still off sick today, they've both got coughs but inbetween coughs today I got them doing an activity! :-O

Just a simple one that I remember loving when I was a child.

I remember years ago spending hours giggling away with just a pen and some Mothercare catalogues, adding speech bubbles, moustaches and gaps in teeth, it was such great fun!

Today I had some Land's End catalogues and some cartoony face details, along with some cut out speech bubbles.  All we needed were some ideas!

This was mine...

...Lots of fun was being had - until coughing stopped play!

Thanks for looking and for any comments,

See you tomorrow
