Depending on where you live in our world, you may be enjoying some warm summer weather,
So I am sending some sunshine
to friends who like me are experiencing our cold frosty, winter weather..
I will be calling in to say hello to friends over at Bleubeard and Elizabeths, where each Tuesday we are given a very warm welcome when we share a drinks related post.
Crayons, inks, stencils and washi tape were all used on this page . I added the sunny scene which was torn from an old gifted calendar .
I did stamp the flowers but ended up re stamping and fussy cutting the flower heads.
Santa joined me for a cuppa today, before he has his busiest day of the year. . The evergreen plants close to the house are still looking healthy
although most of our trees are bare.
I pondered at first on how to get a photo without reflections of the well lit lounge with its open door, but gave up, it looked interesting as if there was a door opening in the garden.
The light does strange things at this time of the year.
Thank you all for stopping by, its very much appreciated at this busy time of the year.
I will also link my journal page to
Bleaubeard and Elizabeth's
theme...Tis the season or My favourite Season.. over at
There's a bright and cheery glow from your page today Yvonne with it's summertime yellows. There's lots of beauty to be found within it. It's all hustle and bustle here, thought i'd pop on over before the day begins as most of mine will be spent helping my Mom get her Christmas in gear, with her shop and delivery of gifts.

This page is so beautiful and the view of your lovely garden fits this sunny summer feeling so well! I love how you extra added the flower heads! HAPPY T-Day - your Robin mug and the Santa are just lovely! Thank you for yet another fantastic page added to Elizabeth's topic at AJJ dear Yvonne! Happy day! hugs, Susi
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous page Yvonne, love the sunny colours. We've got sunshine and mild temps here today, so that's great! Love your robin mug, just right for winter, especially with the cheery Santa. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, bright and sunny page, Yvonne - it's lovely to think of Spring and summer while surrounded by cold and wind! We didn't get snow, thankfully, but it does always look nice. I love the door in the garden, too - a bit like the wardrobe in Narnia and very intriguing ;-)

so yellow and nice to look at, happy spring will come soon..but love winter to
ReplyDeleteOh I love this page so much, it reminds me of Kansas in America. Our heat in Houston is not that butter-yellowy. Ours is more like silver or steel. IF heat had a color, haha. I see gauzy curtains wafting in the breeze. Well, I guess the connection to Kansas is that the State Flower is the sunflower. I completely believe your light does strange things. I visited London in Junetime and was amazed you could see the Northern Lights glow from Westminster. xoxo
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy sunshiny page! I love the bright yellow and how you encorporated all the elements together- stunning 😁. Santa look very jolly on your table and I adore your robin mug - perfect! We bought a new bird feeder last week which holds fat balls and our resident robin seems to be enjoying them (grin!). Wishing you a happy T Day and a very Merry Christmastime too! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteYour page is so warm and sunny today! I love it! We have arctic wind today and it is going to be a very cold one. So I will take warm yellow! And happy T day to you. Hope you are having a fantastic day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect reminder of a sunny summer day. Have a wonderful Holiday.
ReplyDeleteI really love your sunny page-it is beautiful-love all the textures
ReplyDeleteHappy T Hugs and Merry Christmas Kathy
Although I do love your jolly Santa and sweet mug my favorite of course is that sunny burst of summer!! Beautiful page. Happy T day and a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a warm feeling from your page, and I was needing it :) Thx! I'm sure you enjoyed the early Santa visit, and I'm sure he needs a break now and then during this busiest of seasons. Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous journal entry, Yvonne. I love the sunny flowers and the attention you paid to them by fussy cutting them. It's all in the details and you have made it special with the sunny day. Thank you beyond belief for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey. I can't believe how supportive you have been of this theme this month, dear.
ReplyDeleteI also have trouble with light at this time of year. My blinds make it look like my pages are behind bars. I love your adorable garden and the charming Santa, but most of all, I love the little bird on your tea mug. Thanks for sharing your art and tea with us for T this Tuesday, dear.
Yvonne i can feel the warmth from your page.. like a lot of people it seems we are having a very mild winter thus far too.. The old wives tale of the Persimmon seed is not holding true this year... If you open up the seed and the center looks like a knife the winter will be biting cold.. if it looks like a fork it will be an icy winter if it looks like a spoon .. you guessed it you will be shoveling snow.. and this year alot of people saw spoons... So we'll see.. Winter is only half over.. lol Merry Christmas! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteLovely page, Yvonne. Bloom has been my word of the year. So it was very neat for me to come upon your Bloom page as the year comes to a close.
ReplyDeleteLove your little bird cup. The old style Santa is really special.
Happy T-day and Merry Christmas! Eileen xoxo
Your Santa is lovely next to your cup. I like that I can see your pack patio through the window. A very pretty and summer filled journal page. I love the yellow and the blooms.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
An unexpected sunny day! I just love this.
ReplyDeleteThe light is so different here just now, more dull but clear pinks and blues in the sky, and everything more muted.
I just love that square of scenery and the pattern and flowers you have added all around. You have made this style of collage/painting your very own.
Glorious sunshine warmth is just bursting from this page. I love the sunflower scene and beautiful clouds at the heart of it - what a lucky find - and your framing washi, inks and stencils blend into it so well.

Exquisite post and love this sunny page...the gorgeous collage and painting are a real beauty.xx
ReplyDeleteThe promise of what is to come as well as a beautiful warm page to view this morning. It’s so welcome as the rain is lashing against the window here xxx
ReplyDeleteWualaaa love this so warm Art page Yvonne !! Really Gorgeous !! The background is fantastique, love the texture, colours, and so beautiful flowers. Great !
ReplyDeleteHappy T day, with Santa near by you. I wish you a very nice evening, big hugs, Caty
Although, not frosty, it has been foggy, cold and rainy today. But I did go shopping all day and then to the doctors. Thanks for the sunny artwork. I won't be on next week, so Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour page is a truly wonderful reminder of Summer days! I am not enjoying these grey days at all! I love the door in your garden! Belated Happy T day, Chrisx
