Butterflies at..... Try it on Tuesdays


A new theme begins today at Try it on Tuesdays

Butterflies.





I have made a digital card to send to a friend using a hands on page from my journal as a stating point. The background colour was a mop up and I used a variety of stamps before stamping and colouring  the main flower image.
I was able to brighten the colours in the digital computer program I use as well as adding the butterflies.




You can use any format or style that you enjoy   as long as you follow  the current TioT's theme, we look forward to seeing what you create.

Adventures with the bird family.

 


Billy.... I know you can fly

but that is going to teach your sister  .. bad habits.

Another adventure of the bird family 

I will be linking to the theme Matilde

 has chosen for us this month ....Birds.....  over at Art Journal Journey.

I shared Billy learning to fly on my first  digital journal page,

 this time his sister is about to learn to fly  and she is asking  her mam if she can  fly to the rim of the  glass  and follow her brother.

I think the answer would be NO.

Thank you for calling in to see me  today and I hope you will join us at AJJ.

Birds for Art Journal Journey

 


May 1st and a  new theme begins today over at
Matilde is our host for this month and has chosen the theme ....
Birds,
 please call over to the AJJ Blog,
 to find all the information and challenge rules rules ,
 also the links where you can visit Matilde and see the inspiration she has shared with us all.

Once again my journal page has been created in the digital computer programs I use [see sidebar].
Springtime and the blossoms can be seen  in the trees
 the young birds will soon  be all hatched and  getting ready to  leave the nests. 
I hear bids chattering in the woodland  and my garden and wonder what
 the mother birds will be  saying to encourage the young ones 
 when they are learning to fly.

Thank you for calling in to see me  and I hope you will join us at Art Journal Journey.

I can hear Music at TioT's

 I can hear Music.......

is the new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesday.

s


I have created a digital journal page  for this theme

 using computer generated images  [see in my sidebar notes about   program and images used]

 on a sheet music background. 

 Little Ellie is having a lovely time,

 she  loves to make a noise and is lucky to have her drum kit and string instruments

 to choose from, I have a feeling that the drum kit like most kids would be her favourite.

The tune in her head and mine is an old song...

'Can you hear it? and I think her mum would like it as well.

 the version of this song that I like the best is by Kim Wilde  from the early  1980's

We hope you will join us and  share your favourite music with us there.


I will also be adding this page to the current theme

over at Art Journal Journey where the theme is...

Play it again Sam.

Spring Colours........ at TioT's


 
Spring Colours....
is the theme for the next two weeks over at

I love to see the green shades as the grass begins to shoot away , everything looks so fresh and clean
 and then as well as our garden flowers we see the wild flowers
 showing the yellows of the dandelions , whites of the daisies, this list could be longer, but I'm sure we all have flower favourites,  then  soon  we hope to see the colourful butterflies.
So  this journal spread reflects the colours I like to see in the springtime.
book print scraps for the background with a watercolour wash  of green shades. 
I added the flowers and butterflies in the computer digital program I use. [notes in my sidebar].

I hope you will join us at TioT's and share with us your favourite spring colours.
Please pop over for all the information and see  what we are sharing with you there.

The topic Alison from Craftytrog's Arty Adventures  has chosen for us is.....

'Play it again Sam'

 asking us to think about our favourite films and songs.

I really had to get thinking about this theme and eventually chose to use  a Beatles song...

All you need is love

 Written by John Lennon in the late 60's. a song that has stood the test of time.

This page was created in the digital program I use [notes in my sidebar]

 with computer generated images.
