Its the second week for the current Try it on Tuesdays challenge
to Add a Quote.
I have had a bit of a play again making the hybrid page
you can see at the start of the post.
The actual colours are seen on the left and below is the page that is hand made in my journal.
I did start off thinking to make a card, fussy cutting flowers etc, but when it was all stuck down. I thought the quote was quite meaningful me me and my family.
Here it is in all its inkiness with splodges of colour,
I have it propped up on a shelf in my craft room.
An idea I got from Jo at Lets Art Journal after reading one of her posts.
So now I am sharing some love and a restoring cuppa with friends at.....
Bleubeard and Elizabeth's
were we are always made very welcome, to share a drinks related post.
Friday was a stay home day, and I think we both ate too much.,but we knew we needed to relax before heading off to meet with friends and family.
You will have to take my word for it, this carrot cake with butter frosting and walnuts was delicious.
You know I would share it with you if I could.
It was a busy weekend and an unexpected stay in the north of Northumberland in the caravan with our sons at a Landrover event. It was freezing cold at night,
so pleased the caravan has a good heating system
I have lots of photos of the area, but as yet they are still to be sorted out
This one is the ruins of Etal Castle which was about 4 miles from where we stayed.
Happy T day everyone
and thank you for calling in to see me today

ReplyDeleteNice cake and a drink which I am sure warmed you up in the cold Northumberland winds
The page you created is very beautiful and would make a great card I think.
Love Chrissie xx
Wonderful page Yvonne. The cake looks delicious. Great photo. Wouldn't that make a great background layer for a project.
ReplyDeleteTake care, hugs, Flo xx
Wow.. a wonderful page and hybrid version of it! Oh this castle is amazing and I am sure this carrot cake with butter frosting and walnuts was delicious! I had too much food for Easter as well...
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day dear Yvonne!

beautiful post with wonderful art and the cake Looks yummy! and i love this mug!
ReplyDeletehappy t-day!
Loving your piece today. You overlaid the images so beautifully. And that carrot cake does look delicious. It sounds like you had an exciting weekend. The castle is cool so I can't wait to see more photos. Happy T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a gorgeous journal entry. I'm impressed with the layers and the fussy cut flowers. So good that Jo was an inspiration because this is a very inspirational page (and quote) that you can look at every day. It is actually frame worthy.
ReplyDeleteYou made my very favorite cake. How did you know? Just in time for my bEARTHday, too. Every year, my grandmother made me a carrot cake with cream cheese icing. She often added the walnuts, too. I'll have coffee, instead of tea, but I would gladly drink it in a beautiful springtime mug like yours.
I really look forward to seeing more photos of the castle ruins and the road rally, too.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful art, your castle ruin, and your carrot cake and tea with us for T this Tuesday. Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend, too.
Your journal page is lovely! Wow I think it would be really fun to visit a castle, I look forward to more photos. Your carrot cake looks delicious and I love love your butterfly cup
ReplyDeleteHappy T Day Kathy
Such a sweet page, I prop mine up in my craft room too from time to time. We had carrot cake this weekend too! Pretty photo of the castle, glad you were able to stay warm!
ReplyDeleteWhat a so so gorgeous page Yvonne !!! Love it ! The background is fabulous with so many layers, the colours are great !! This cake may be delicious, and the photograph of this castle is really very beautiful! I wish you a very happy day ! ksssss Caty
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are really gorgeous Yvonne - love the vintage feel and imagery of the first and love the pretty colours and inkiness of the second one and the lovely words.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness your caravan has some heating - been a funny month what with the mini heatwave earlier in month (assuming you had that too?) and now a bit cooler, especially at night and more breezier too.. typical British weather I guess ha ha..
Hope all well with you... Gill xx
Oh Northumberland looks magical.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot of time to go through photos.
I always enjoy travel photos whether they are mine or others!
Your carrot cake looks scrumptious and such a pretty mug too(we had that for our wedding cake long ago).
Your collage is wonderful in the colors you selected.
The silhouette works brilliantly and Love certainly is a verb = great quote too.
Happy T Day dear Yvonne oxo
Beautiful journal page art Yvonne! I really love the theme along with the silhouette of the couple.
ReplyDeleteYour carrot cake looks so yummy-I haven't made one in years. Love that castle and how I'd love to explore it as well! Always had a thing for castles and churches in Europe. Happy T day!
Thanks so much Yvonne, it was very kind of you to mention me and I'm so pleased that you are displaying your wonderful artwork in your craft room! This piece is so romantic, the colours and background stamps are beautiful and the quote is perfect. I love your Apple & Blackberry mug too, it's so pretty and carrot cake is always my go-to choice when I visit a cafe - yum! How lovely to go away unexpectedly for the weekend, Etal Castle looks so magical so I can't wait to see more pictures of the area! Thanks again and wishing you a Happy T Day! J :-)
ReplyDeleteTwo great pieces as always Yvonne. And now I want CAKE!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pieces Yvonne... Carrot cake is hubby's favorite!! Happy happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteWonderful journal page, love the colours. Great photo from the castle ruins, and love the look of the cake. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteGorgeous page. I really love the quote. The cake looks delicious and your mug looks like it was printed from one of your journal pages. So pretty
ReplyDeleteLove the original and digital version of your page and it's beautiful quote. Etal Castle looks interesting (just Googled it on the map) Carrot cake looks yummy - my favorite, just made one at the weekend!
ReplyDeleteAvril xx
I like both versions of the page today and it sounds like you had a great time with the family. The castle looks very interesting . Thanks for stopping by my blog too and I'll keep you all updated on the butterflies.
ReplyDeleteFabulous page and the hybrid version is great too! Love both designs and combination of colours.
ReplyDeleteThe carrot cake is my favorite, and this looks delicious! The ruins of Etal Castle have an air of mystery, it's a fantastic photo! Mar xx
A fabulous quote Yvonne which looks perfect on your journal page. Glad you had a great time together with your family xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the quote and those beautiful colours Yvonne.
ReplyDeleteVal x
This really is a gorgeous page.
ReplyDeleteYup, that page is a keeper. I wouldn't want to give it away either - except maybe to my hubby. Your mug is very pretty and sping-like even if the outside weather isn't. The cake looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day, Yvonne! Hugs, Eileen
What a lovely page. (Should be framed really). The quote is very good too. (I'm thinking of my marriage, love is what we do).
ReplyDeleteYum, lovely carrot cake. Yes, I believe you. My mouth is watering.
I'm glad your caravan has a good heating system. You need it in the UK.
Did you take photos at the Landrover event? Would love to see those....
Belated happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Gorgeous page and artwork Yvonne! I love those flowers - saw them on a friends blog today - still on my list of needs! Your cake does look delicious - looking forward to some treats this weekend - I should be doing some walking to sort out the sugar levels!! Just enjoyed a catch up as the packing is almost done! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your page in both its guises. The autumnal hybrid version with those fabulous textured silhouettes is so powerful - really moving -and the vivid colours of the summery one are lovely. Very generous of you to offer to share the cake... knowing it's an impossibility! I don't blame you - there's no sharing of carrot cake round my way.

ReplyDeletehappy reat week.
