My Easter Bunny

 

Today I'm at Art Journal Journey (AJJ) with another journal page for my friend Chris, this month's host, who can be found at PearShapedCrafting. Her theme this month is Spring Forward.  And because the bunny has a face, now that I can leave comments again, I'm also sharing this with Nicole and Friday Face Off.

This is My Easter Bunny.  Details are below.

 

 I began by adhering vintage sheet music to 5.5 X 8 inch (13.97 X 20.32 centimeter) 110 lb cardstock.  I then added various parts of the top layer of the bunny napkin to the page.  Finally, I added the computer generated text.

 

Thank you so much for visiting today. Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Spring Forward and we hope you will also join us at Friday Face Off.  

 

Bicycles

 

Today I'm once again at Art Journal Journey (AJJ) with a journal page for my dear friend Chris, this month's host. Chris can be found at PearShapedCrafting. Her theme this month is Spring Forward. This is my next offering.

Today I have a double spread in my latest altered book.  Details are below.

 

 I hate my handwriting.  I know some of you do yours, too.  I used to have stunning handwriting, and was often complimented on it. Now it's barely readable.  The sentiment reads: "Spring is in the air.  Spring flowers are popping out of the warm soil."

 

I found these definitions in my stash and thought they went well with the page.

 

I have lots of napkins.  Many I received in swaps or as a hostess gift.  However, I have NEVER EVER seen a napkin that had different images on each corner.  Imagine my surprise when I found this.

 

Note how the flowers at the base of this corner are blue.

 

 I couldn't believe my good fortune when I took this napkin apart.  I didn't expect this! 

 

Pink flowers grace the base of this napkin.

 

The sentiment reads: "Butterflies flit about and I bring my bicycle out of the garage to take a trip around the neighborhood."

 

One final look at this spread I created in my newest altered book.  BTW, if you sent this napkin to me, or know who did, please let me know in the comments.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Spring Forward.  

  

 

T stands for Love mug the croissants

 

Please join me today at my dining room table for a meal and a mug. 

I bought a package of four croissants and was surprised at how much darker one was from the other when I filled them with seafood I got at the same time I got the croissants.  In checking the package, two were dark and two were light.

 

Sharon asked to see the entire mug, so I took photos of the mug from all sides.  Sadly, that doesn't help you read it any better.

 

I decided to list all the love quotes from the mug in order from top to bottom.

 

Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.  Shakespeare

To live without loving is not really to live.  Moliere

That love is all there is, is all we know of love.  Emily Dickinson

There is no remedy for love but to love more.  Thoreau

Love is not getting, but giving.   Henry Van Dyke 

Love conquers all.   Virgil

Love is like a rose, the joy of all the earth.  Rossetti 

Whom we love best, to them we can say the least.   John Ray

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.   Tennyson

 

I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book, as I have done.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time. 

 

 

  

 

 

Spring forward

 

  It's time to set your clock forward in most areas in the USA.

 and

   Happy International Women's Day.

 

Fly High

 

Today I'm once again at Art Journal Journey (AJJ) with a journal page for my dear friend Chris, this month's host, who can be found at PearShapedCrafting. Her theme this month is Spring Forward.

Spring winds are perfect for kite flying.  Details are below.

 

 

I began by laying down metallic turquoise acrylic paint on 5.5 X 8 inch (13.97 X 20.32 centimeter) 110 lb. cardstock.  When dry, I added the kite I cut from vintage sheet music.  I used a white Posca pen to create the tail and orange and pink Posca pens to create the bows.  I also used the orange Posca pen to separate the two areas of the kite.  I outlined the sentiment using the pink Posca pen.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Spring Forward.  

  

 

Butterflies

 

I'm at Art Journal Journey (AJJ) today with a journal page for my friend Chris, our host this month. Chris can be found at PearShapedCrafting. Her theme in case you didn't know is Spring Forward. 

It's obvious this is called Butterflies.  I once again began by adhering vintage sheet music to 5.5 X 8 inch (13.97 X 20.32 centimeter) 110 lb cardstock.  I then adhered a portion of the top layer of a napkin.  

 

Finally, I computer generated the word and edged it in black dye ink. 

 

Thank you so much for visiting today. Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Spring Forward.
