Journal 52, week 26: Under the sea


This week at Journal 52, Chelle's prompt was Under the Sea.

I'm calling this one Carp Diem.

Technically, this is a carp,

and this is a perch. Both rubber stamps are from River City Rubber.

I used the numbers to signify an imaginary parallel line, as well as the week number.

For materials to create Carp Diem, I used a file folder cut in half, paint, various parts (oceans) of a map, number stickers, and two rubber stamps.  I hope you like my take on Under the Sea, because this is the only place you will see all this blubber these bubbly fish celebrating Carp Diem.

  1. Wow Elizabeth. I love this page and your clever title. Those fish stamps are perfect for this theme as are your map pages. Thanks for catching up on my blog. I appreciate every word. So I am anxious to hear about making washi tape. I admit I buy mine and use it as is! You always have such great ideas.

  2. The sea is always a favorite theme of mine which is funny since I don't particularly like the water, as in oceans or seas. I don't swim and get seasick! :)

    Your pieces in so creative and the title just makes me smile.

    I'm making good progress on the kitchen, taking advantage of the good weather with lower humidity.
