Happy Tuesday, A Tag a Page and a Brew.

Happy Tuesday everyone
and to friends   calling in from Bluebeard and Elizabeths 

where its T day and we are always made welcome with a drinks related post


You can still have an adventure on a snowy day.
[Last week we had a number of those days here].
The best thing to do on days like these are to create a mess and have some fun.
So my first share today is for  Erika over at
  Art Journal Journey

 and her theme for the month of  New Year, New Adventures





Notice I was amply supplied with my  mug of tea,
although I have to admit I was having so much fun it got forgotten for a while and was cold when I  remembered to drink it.






I used pieces of book paper,
torn tissue, lots of watercolour paint, stencils, die cuts, washi tape and stamps.
All the things I love to use, sometimes the results can look a lot neater than this, but I went with the flow and had a good time. That's what crafting means to me.









.........................................


I also made this tag for the current challenge theme at
Tag Tuesday

which is Anything Goes

It is a larger size tag, cut from a left over piece of card which I covered with a piece of a
 coffee cup napkin.
I added the die cut cups and leaves using distress ink to add some colour.

I hope this tag  appeals to the folk who prefer coffee as their drink of choice,
 I'll stick with the tea today.

But if you would like a glass of wine at the end of your day.
 Here is a collage  page I made  in my computer digital program ,
 using the tag, and  a fun wine drinkers  napkin given me by a friend.




Thank you for calling by to see me today,
 your visit and comments are always very much appreciated.

  1. WOW, lots of drinks today, dear Yvonne. I was so impressed with your Art Journal Journey entry. It is fabulous. I didn't realize the women were from a piece of tissue until I looked closer. You made a fabulous entry and I can relate to getting into crafting and forgetting my coffee is cold.

    I love the tag, and I love how you even shared it with wine drinkers. I don't think you left anyone out! Thanks for sharing your art with Art Journal Journey and for T this Tuesday.

Have a very happy T Day, hugs, Valerie

  3. Oh Yvonne I resonate with the drinks going cold on your desk and hubby often makes me a cup of tea in the afternoons, I say I’ll be down to drink it and completely forget lol. Great makes from your desk, love the tag with the leaves on it and all those fabulous faces xxx

  5. Good morning your art pieces are amazing-and I really love your tag. My drink always gets cold as well so I end up heating it back up in the microwave. I have been spending many days in my craft room this winter too-the hallway project can wait a bit longer lol Happy T Day Kathy

  7. I enjoyed watching the process of you creating your wonderful page. I sometimes forget my cup of tea, too, though I'm apt to swish a pen or brush in it thinking it's the cleaning water. I love those cups on the tag. Maybe I'll have to get a die cutting machine. Happy T Day!

  14. Great journal page, Yvonne. I love it! The sketchy faces are from napkins? How cool. I can't get artsy napkins where we live ;-( As well, another great tag for tag Tuesday.

    Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen

  15. That journal page is wonderful! A feel good page! :). Great tags and cup of tea; when I am crafting, my tea always gets cold. So I warm it up in the micro wave and forget about it again! Sometimes days later find a yucky cup of yuck in the micro wave! Have a great Tuesday!

  16. I always worry about having a drink near me when I'm painting. Brushes seem to find their way into the mug/cup quite easy. :) Love the tag!!
    Happy T day!

    Kate

  18. Such wonderful projects! You have been busy. The I am a woman is great and the tag is gorgeous. But I really am a wine girl so your last bit of digital art appealed to me most. So funny. The cartoons look familiar. Did you find out who drew them? was it a Dutch artist? They certainly made me smile.
    Happy belated T-Day,
    Lisca

  21. Love your journal page!!! Sorry I am so late getting around... the cold bug finally caught up with me and zapped all of my energy . Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such kind words. Mini was a stitch in her boots but they have been returned to the store. The bottoms were so slick that she would have slid all over the place if she had kept them on.
    See ya next week.
