Beautiful journal pages and quotes. I will be singing 'all things bright and beautiful all day now'....Thanks for another lovely contribution to AJJ. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI am already singing it in my head....all things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small...God loves them all....I left out one line, but I remember vividly singing it at Sunday school as a little girl. All three of your pieces today have special meaning to my love of nature...be it a butterfly, a lion, or flowers. They are all beautiful in their own ways. Thanks for continuing to inspire me to try harder. genie
ReplyDeleteAnd I am staring to sing as well---lol! Beautiful pages dear Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteYou really rock that theme this month again!
Thank you so much for being such an inspiration always at Art Journal Journey!

Oh Yvonne. I love the lion entry because it is so different and really quite romantic. The two lions look like they are really in love with each other. You got a LOT of mileage out of that background, too. It was wonderful and did double duty. Fun journal pages today.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful theme for this very beautiful page Yvonne

Aww :) love these Yvonne - adorable image of the lion family, brilliant idea and the wonderful quote on your second piece - I will try to remember that for when I see a butterfly next.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool background - looks very useful and versatile...fireworks, posies under the sea etc :)
I got a bit behind yesterday as the heat really got to me - can't seem to think straight when its so hot.
How is it at your end of the world? Max outside temp showed 36.2 maybe be a bit out with some reflective heat but - phew!

What a sweet lion page, they look so calm. Pretty butterfly one too, great to use the same background on both.
ReplyDeleteLove your lion family and the fab jungle background you created for them.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces you created with your lovely background dear Yvonne.
ReplyDeleteSomething about the words "all creatures great and small" has such a tender ring and really touches my heart.
Those lions are majestic!
And butterflies are such a wonder too aren't they.
