Today is Father's Day in the United States. Too bad it has to compete with the summer/winter solstice. Even though I have no father to celebrate with, I am honoring all those fathers out there with this tribute.
First up is a tribute I created on my daily index card. You'll see this and the rest of this week's entries on Friday.
Next up is a spread I created in one of my altered books that celebrates the masculine side of masculine/feminine, the Art Journal Journey challenge for June.
Since my AB is slightly larger than my scanner, I showed both sides.Materials used were gesso, gray Staz-on, sticker letters, red ink pen, and an image I reworked.
Don't forget to visit Art Journal Journey for many more June entries, including my other two, #s 38 and 89. Thanks, too for your very kind remarks. And so I don't forget, T Stands For Tuesday will post at its normal time of 4:00 pm CDT (GMT -5) Monday afternoon.

What a lovely tribute, my friend. Here fathers'day is in August.
Love it! I have a soft spot for Navy men. :)
Lovely journal pages, Men sure do like their toys! Thanks for joining us again at Art Journal Journey, Valerie
Your AJJ page is super cute and your tribute well thought out. I popped in, partly to say thank you very much for your lovely comments and to suggest that you could do a colourfully sprayed background and then group some stamps in the centre and do a one-staple collage, but I find you have used a similar idea on your father's day card, haha.
Have good one ::o))

Not just boys with their toys, men with their expensive toys. But us girls have ours too-paint, markers, and other art supplies! Have a great day.
i´m with you about men and toys. but then, do i not have also toys to Play with? creativity would not be expressed without (and toys must not be something to buy, we can Play with everything, as you often prove:))
Men and their toys. My DH likes anything with a motor. Fun art!

Sweet pages and tribute to fathers E.
Mr Magpie and I are fatherless...bittersweet day it was.
Gotta get back to clearing out here...WHY did I let it get this out of hand! It does feel good to be lightening my load a bit at least.
Happy Day to you and the kitties
