I will begin by asking myself where this last week has gone
with an apology for my lack of visits .
Must try harder will be written on my school report if I were to be given one.
This page I wanted to look happy, colourful,
so I could link to Erika's theme......When its Hot..... at Art Journal Journey
Tuesday is also T day over at
where we are always made very welcome with a drinks related post
Our hosts are celebrating a special day today, the 7th Birthday of the Tuesday T day gathering.

Not tea this week, a cup of frothy instant coffee,
out of a packet that had been lurking in my cupboard for a while.
I began with one of my usual messy backgrounds and some cup out pieces from a free store food magazine, they weren't stuck down at this stage and I wasn't sure I was happy with this version.......off to the computer and more play time
The version on the left came next, still not happy, I was having a real crafting block, which happens frequently these days.
But I think I prefer the fun first one with the cake to share with friends at the end of the rainbow.
Thank you for calling in to see me , however you spend the day I hope it will be a good one for you.
Love all versions of your beautiful journal page, so bright and cheery. At school one teacher wrote on my report, Valerie is trying, very trying!' Good to see you drinking coffee. I just got back home from the eye-clinic so will enjoy my coffee now, too. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI also like all the versions. I really like A taste of kindness, and I like the women in the top entry, too. It's such a great theme and you have created three beauties. It's also wonderful that you shared this with us at Art Journal Journey using Erika's theme.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you joined us for T this Tuesday and with COFFEE, too. What a treat. Thanks for the art and your coffee for T, dear Yvonne.
Would it be possible to go in and change the caption to just your name?
Your page is happy and fun and I love your friends comment. Now I want some cake and I have been so good for a few days. Fun alternate versions too but I like the one you ended with. The girls and the cake are wonderful. Hugz
ReplyDeleteGood morning, I love all of your versions too-a very happy page. take care and Happy T hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteSuch happy art today Yvonne. I can imagine how challenging it is to find time to do art. You have a lot of your plate, and too bad it isn't cake. I love the images you used with that happy yellow background. Thanks for joining in, and I know your art time is limited. And stay strong and stay safe my friend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeletevery nice and happy page Yvonne!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a lot of strength and all the best, hugs Elke
Another delightful journal page! I really love how you start with a messy background and then art it up with stamps and digital imagery. You are SO good at this! Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteVery cute page, Yvonne. I'm sorry you couldn't see my photos. I've checked on my end and they show up fine.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad about not commenting. Life happens. Besides, we're friends, not your teachers ;-)
Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen
I love your bright yellow background! The rainbow is perfect against the sunshine yellow. I love your various versions of this art journal page.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
Such beautiful pages! They are so bright and cheery, and that 3-layered cake looks very special, maybe I could have a piece with my cuppa ...lol 😀. I'm not sure where last week went either, seems I've got a lot of catching up to do too! Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteLovely and sweet pages , love the images you chose and your colours are just so pretty…..♥♥
ReplyDeleteVery nice variations! Especially on such a grey day.
ReplyDeletePerfect yellow background and a beautiful rainbow! What more does one want. Oh yes, frothy coffee. Thanks, mine will be a frothy coffee too. (My mum has these sachets with frothy coffee with amaretto flavour. Really nice.)
ReplyDeleteHappy (belated) T-Day,
Lisca
Very happy pages. And cake at the end of the rainbow is perfect. HappyT Day
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous page Yvonne! I love the rainbow! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely artwork. I like the vibrant colors. Happy belated T-Day!
ReplyDeleteYou've definitely succeeded in your aim of happiness and colour - it's a lovely page. And I'm happy to say I evidently have everything! No cake, mind you... but I could always bake one. The rainbow colours are lovely, and I like both digi alternatives. The friends probably edge out the coffee cup for me too, but my favourite may be the original unadorned version!
ReplyDeleteCompletely with you on the stuttering creative mojo - it's weird - and I'm even worse than you on the visiting front! Ah well, it is what it is, and I expect we'll all come about again some time soon.

This is fabulous Yvonne - I have that very same image - it 's a great issue - lots being saved!!! I love the added drink! Hope you are Okay! Belated Happy T Day! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful " messy background" as it turned out beautifully. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteReally love this style of making art journal. Beautiful and vibrant scene and colors.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy upcoming weekend xx
Such a happy page!

You are right, friends crazy or otherwise but preferably crazy, and cake are the very best.
ReplyDeleteYour first picture is terrific, lovely and colourful and just right for this sunny day.
I enjoyed seeing the two alternatives too.
I didn't comment on this post before but have found myself chuckling at your page in my mind so I came back! Thank you very much for the chuckles! Much needed, my friend! XOX
