A moment in time....Collage for AJJ

A collage journal page for

 Art Journal Journey

where Susi, has added a twist to the theme.....

 Collage.... no wings, faces or leaves are allowed.

Folk who visit me will recognise the  base layer, I used it a few days ago with a hybrid page.

I added more layers of paint to tone down the blue shades, then had a look through the bits box to see what else could be used.

Some die cut cogs and a clock, smeared with gold gilding wax and a couple of stamped images. The quote is computer generated, but the letters also came from the box.

Thank you for calling in to see me today, your comments are always appreciated.

Remembrance Day

It is Remembrance  Day  here in the UK.

Folk will stop what they are doing at 11 a.m. and keep a two minute silence.

Time to reflect and remember 

the  men and  women from  all the countries of our world.

Who, throughout the years past and present ,

served their countries

and  gave  their lives

for the freedom and safety of others..

Keep fit for AJJ

A hybrid, mixed media page for

  Art Journal Journey

for Susi's,,,,,,,,, Collage theme and the twist of not to using , faces, wings or leaves.

[I hope I have managed to blank out all the facial features]

This is the base journal page, layers of paper scraps,

some texture added through a stencil, randomly painted with a light colour wash using acrylic paint.

With this saved as a photo, I was able to give it a digital colour change and add some collaged images.

As a family we enjoy cycling. 

 OH and myself watch it on TV these days, but we have been lucky to see some of the Tour de France stages live

 over the years.

So my page is for all the cyclists including our sons, who get  on their bikes, enjoy  being out doors and pedal many miles 

for pleasure as well as keeping fit.




Thank you Valerie for the prompt.

I will join in at Moo Mania and More where the theme is
Wheels

Thank you for stopping by, your comments are always appreciated.

Trees are Green or any other colour for TioT's

Only a few more weeks to prepare for the Christmas festivities.

The new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is called....

''Trees are Green or any other colour.''

A good opportunity to make some cards featuring trees.

I did use  digital backgrounds  and other digital images for the base of this card.

A selection of cut out trees,

which were made with  recycled corrugated  card, some left over pieces from my own made backgrounds.
I now have a number of trees to make more similar cards for Christmas.

I hope you will pop over to see what the team have been making and we look forward to seeing your tree themed cards.

Thank you for calling in to see me today, you are very welcome here.


If you have called in for a cuppa  on T Day,
 please scroll down to my earlier post

Lets Party

A Collage page for

Art Journal Journey

and  Susi's  super theme  of Collage with a twist,,no faces, leaves or wings,  

The base was simply coloured,  scraps of parer, cut out food pictures and some snippets of materials were used for the collage. Words added on the computer. 

As its also Tuesday and I am off to visit with friends at

Bleubeard and Elizabeths for

T stands for Tuesday

I will share the photo  of my desk as I was doing  cutting out  before assembling the page.

The brew was close by  and have to admit to feeling a little hungry cutting out the pictures I used.

Our Supermarkets here give away colour magazines at the checkouts, to promote their products.

This one was filled with Christmas foods.

So I have created a partyl spread to which you are invited to share .

What would be your favourite today.?

I would have loved a macaroon  to go with my cuppa.

Thank you for calling in to see me you are all welcome here.

Happy T day.

Use your imagination for AJJ

I have had a play  and made a hybrid journal page for Susi's theme over at 

Art Journal Journey

Collage. but no leaves, wings or faces.

So why Hybrid.....

for a start this page has some feathery leaves  on it, so for sure, not allowed. 

So I altered the colours in my digital program and looked around to see what I could  find to cover the forbidden item

Looking through my stored photos and images, I found this photo of a card I had made a couple of years ago.

Ideal  to cover the leaves,

 change its colour add more layers of images etc

The result is the collage you see at the top of the post.

Thank you for calling in to see me today, you are welcome and your visit is always appreciated.
