Going Round in Circles at..... TioT's

 

'Going Round in Circles'...

 is the new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays

I have made a layered , circular shaped Birthday card for the new theme.

A splashed and splattered background, with a stamped and coloured flower image.

The butterflies and words are  computer generated.

After  taking a photo  and loading it into the digital program I use on my computer I  created this journal page with lots of  layered circles onto a dotty stencilled background

We hope you will join us at TioT's and look forward to seeing how you interpret this new theme.

Please pop over to get all the details and see what we hve been making.

Vintage..... at Art Journal Journey

 

September and a new theme 

Vintage 

 has been chosen for us by Wendy K from...Wendy's Art and  Craft Journal

our Host for this month.

 Please call over to  the Art Journal Journey   blog

 to get all the information and the guidance Wendy has shared with us for the theme.

For my journal page I have gone down the vintage  fashion style route,

 following two sisters wearing   their  Sunday best dresses as children,

to growing up and wearing fashionable  outfits . going out 

to meet with their friends.

I imagine they will have lots of stories to tell as they get older about the clothes they used to wear.

I used TH relatives for my  girls.

The background of the page is a mop up one in my Kraft card journal , I even used a few scraps of washi tape to try to create some steps for them to stand on.

Thank you for calling in today, you are very welcome here.

Use Book Pages at TioT's

 

A new theme begins today over at Try it on Tuesdays

'Use Book Pages'.

An page torn from an old book which I purchased some time ago in a Charity shop

was the starting point for this journal page.

 The edges  of the pages had torn  and they  discoloured naturally over time. I didn't even have to shade the edges simply paste it down into my Kraft journal. I did however take a short cut and add the flowers and jar from the digital  computer program I use

We hope you will join us at TioT's. 

 Please pop over to find all the details and see how the TioT gang

 have interpreted this new challenge theme.

However you spend your day I hope it will be a good one for you.

Summer Blooms..... at TioT's

 

The    new  theme at Try it on Tuesdays is

Summer Blooms.

We hope you will join us there,

 please pop over to see how the TioT's gang interpreted the theme 

 and to get all the information.

I chose to create a journal page as the title of this new theme had me thinking of childhood,  when  remembered summer days were always warm and sunny. Playing at my  grandparents house  with my cousin and picking flowers   that maybe we shouldn't be doing when there were so many pretty wild flowers just over the fence.  

I used a hands on journal page as my starting point, with texture paste, stencils, die cuts, found relatives [TH] and a piece of a torn napkin. The additional flowers and dogs were added in the computer program I  use.

Thank you for calling in 

you are very welcome here.

 A short post to share a journal page  at Art Journal Journey

 and the theme Neet chose for us this month... Type

For the background I used an old letter and number stencil,  

dropped paint onto the page that didn't go where I had hoped, so  it is still work in progress. 

 However with the aid of my digital computer program  I was able to create this page.

Layers and scraps  with different type fonts

made  what looks like a happy face to me.

Homemade Memories

Feelings are often hard to put into words but if we note or type those words they will be remembered for a very long time.

However you spend your day I hope it will be a happy one for you.

Keep it Simple at........ Try it on Tuesdays

 

'Keep it Simple'

is our new theme over at Try it on Tuesdays.

I have made this card  using a single ALL& Create image and coloured it with watercolour paint.

Leaving a large area white is not something I am comfortable with [the black edge is a piece of card that I used   as a base to get the photo ] I would have liked to shade the edges of the card and perhaps add a border, but I had to stay within the theme's guidelines.

We do hope you will join us and share your

 'Keep it simple',  ideas, cards  and projects .  

Type....at Art Journal Journey.

 

August

 and a new theme over at

Art Journal Journey

where we welcome our  Guest Hostess for this month

 Neet from Hickydorums

the theme she has chosen for us is.......'Type'

Please pop over to AJJ to read all the information and see the inspiration

 Neet is giving us for this topic.

My journal page began with some stamped letters and numbers,

torn scraps  of book, dictionary paper a few scraps from the bits box and some paper dolls [TH]

There are so many styles of print to choose from to add to a journal page 

and these children just couldn't make up their minds.  I do hope that one day they will get to type  their own story  in their chosen font  perhaps using old fashioned pen and ink, or a typewriter,  although these days it would probably be  typed up using a computer.

We look forward to seeing how you interpret this theme and hope you will join us at AJJ.
