Carol, this is lovely. I think all of your elements/prompts work very well together and the colors play off of each other wonderfully. The ocean/water theme is very pretty. I enjoyed watching you put this together. Your creative flow is very inspiring. Have a beautiful week and happy crafting. xx

I so enjoy watching you put these together and I think that’s a lovely bottle. I see them here on Sunday night .So I look forward to them every Sunday night. Thank you.

[@oakhousejournals]

Sooooo thrilled you liked this assignment. It was fun to do and I wanted it to be a little whimsical too, so added the seagulls. Thanks for leaving me such a kind comment, bless you. Hugs C xx

Your mind works like a charm Carol! You got a lovely piece, again💝

[@oakhousejournals]

Ha ha, I think you're probably the only one to think that 😁. It was fun to try to create a little bit of whimsey in this weeks collage. Thanks so much for popping by, Anita. Hugs C xx

[@elainecrowe8647]

Another masterpiece! I love how you bring all the prompt elements together into a cohesive whole. I especially like the whimsy of the sea gulls on the bottle. Thank you for today’s eye candy.

💜💜💜 I really like how this collage came together - thank you so much!

Soooo pleased you liked it ,Amy. Thought I'd have a bit of fun with those seagulls! TFW and big hugs from me C xx

I really admire your ability to stay open to the process of your collage unfolding organically while simultaneously remaining so deliberate with your placements and aesthetic. And I love the images you have chosen. Another beautiful collage 💙

[@oakhousejournals]

I generally have an idea in mind but the collages always evolve as the prompt pieces suggest how they'll interact and where they'll sit. My eye (& I guess my slightly OCD nature 😄) always wants to ensure the placement is in the best 'line' for the aesthetics. Many a time I don't pick the best pieces and then I'm fighting to encourage them to 'play nicely' together.... it's all part of the fun of doing these collages for me. Definitely a journey and learning curve each time. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to watch. That's kind of you. Hugs as always from me. C xx

Love it! I really like the look of foreign text - it makes me wonder what it's saying! Love the ship in the bottle and the 3 cheeky seagulls!

[@oakhousejournals]

As soon as I read your comment Jennifer I thought " Goodness I really should Google any foreign text before I use it! " I haven't a clue what it says on this collage. BUT I'm guessing as it was a sticker it'll be ok 🤞 BIG hugs from me. C xx

[@jenniferwatson7118]

@@oakhousejournals I'm sure it's ALL OK - it just makes me curious!!

[@leannegordon7439]

You are way too hard on yourself woman ... this is FABULOUS! I mean, who could resist those cute little seagulls? Well done once again.

[@oakhousejournals]

I love the colour scheme for this collage, Carol. I made a collage yesterday with a message in a bottle that had a bird perched on it! 😊

New Subbie. Your collage is beautiful. I just started and am really enjoying the process. ❤

[@oakhousejournals]

Hi and welcome. Thanks for the lovely comment and for watching. Glad to hear you’re enjoying collating. I found it a couple of years ago now and was hooked. It’s so addictive. Big hugs C xx

[@pilesofparagraphs]

Carol, as always fantastic elements and a lovely collage. Much more peaceful than the one I came up with this time. Hugs-- Lori

[@oakhousejournals]

Thanks so much for popping by Lori. I am sooooo behind with my MM videos, apologies for that. House moving take up so much time....lol. Interfering with my crafting too, quite frankly! 😂😂😱

[@pilesofparagraphs]

@@oakhousejournals Wishing all the best on your house moving, that is so much work. ☺

[@oakhousejournals]

It is but actually it's quite cathartic decluttering and cleaning in readiness for the actual move itself. Oh that and learning patience. The whole process is so slow here in the UK. C xx

[@pilesofparagraphs]

@@oakhousejournals Yes I can see that. We have been in our house 27 years, I need to move just so I can be motivated to declutter. Patience is a virtue but I struggle with it.
