Today we're visiting a place very few of us get to see for our Art Journal Journey school theme: the teachers' lounge.
We're joining Miss Fowler and Mrs. Gray 
They are actually 
snacking on goodies and sipping beverages
while discussing their students career choices.
For this spread, I used an image (an old ad) from a magazine in conjunction with a partial scrapbook background. I added some career choice cards after I cut the teachers hands so they would hold the cards. Sadly, the magazine ad was very thin, and one of the hands tore after I carefully cut through and around it.
Now it's your turn to share your drink related post. Any drink, any experience is acceptable. Of course, if you share one that includes Art Journal Journey's Back to School theme, Bleubeard and I would love that, too. Coffee, tea, water, wine, hot chocolate, lemonade, etc., postcards,
movies, old masters paintings, photos, or a trip out and about are all acceptable. The more unique and unusual the better, in my opinion.
Once you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.
Great idea, nice to see those teachers enjoying their snacks! We all used to take sandwiches to eat during break in the staff room. Thanks for another great page for AJJ, happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI always wondered what they did in the teachers lounge, except maybe complain about all of us! Cute page. We need all the vision we can get. xox
ReplyDeleteI remember those cards from some game I used to play as a kid! Sigh -- takes me back.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and wonderful comment. I remember when we didn't need passports for Canada, too. The old days! I was intrigued to learn more about the Mennonites. I couldn't believe there was such a VERY long line of them, given that we had never, ever heard anything about that -- but then, my grandfather never spoke of his family. Family history research is certainly illuminating!
Have a good week! And thanks for adding to the "Sully" review. It goes higher and higher on the list!
haha, seems i´ve been in the wrong teachers´ Lounge all the years... i never got those Snacks;) awesome ajj-contribution!
ReplyDeletehappy t-day, elizabeth!
Elizabeth , you have been nailing this theme all month!!! Another fabulous addition to the theme! I have not seen nor heard of the cards. Heck, I'd like to try them out even now to see what I'd come up with:) Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThis looks the funnest teacher's lounge ever. I used to stay away because it was all complaints, and now no one seems to use the teacher's lounge in my school. O guess they still have teacher's rooms in school. It is a fun page for T day for sure. I think they look like cool proactive teachers. Great idea for food and drink. :) Happy T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI think you are really enjoying this ArtJournal adventure Elizabeth!! :) Aaahhh the teachers lounge that evasive mysterious place..that you only get quick glimpses through the door as it opens... Happy happy Tday my wonderful host! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeletei LOVE the Teacher's Lounge!!! So funny -- and you're right -- I never got to go to one......
ReplyDeletei never got those Snacks either - poor me!Love your teacher's Lounge Elizabeth !Happy happy Tday my friend!
ReplyDeleteInteresting how you cut the hands to hold the cards. Well done Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteNow I know why teachers are such relaxed people(at least some of them) - if they got such nice snacks always -lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Elizabeth - super rocking page!
Happy T-Day!
Thanks for hosting AJJ this month and thanks for always hosting T-Day!

You're right, I have never been in the teacher's room (they had a small room in our school, nothing that could be called a lounge). As a nurse I know what our little hidy-hole looked like and over the christmas period we decorated it in the worst possible taste (the rest of the hospice being chocolate box pretty and cute) and like your teachers, we had snacks and goodies.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you put the cards in their hands. The broken fingers are not at all visible!
I really like your page!
Happy T-Day!

Great fun page, I always wondered what the teachers did in their breaks :-). I love the 70s theme and colours. Wishing you a Happy T day! J :-)
ReplyDeleteA peep behind the scenes for us today. Great page for sure
ReplyDeleteLove Chrissie xx
You are really on a roll with this theme,,,I can't even keep up with your posts! :) Happy T day!!
ReplyDeleteTeachers Lounge is a much nicer title than Staffroom - I must say that if snacks were ever provided it was usually the children in my cooking lessons that made them! A great colourful page Elizabeth! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteNow those are the snacks that would have been very welcome. our staff room was tidy each morning, by lunch time it was a cluttered mess, Cups rating rather highly as nobody ever washed up till home time. Its a great page.

Fun page and love the way you did the hands :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and imaginative page for your school theme E!
ReplyDeleteI know I have been missing out on all of the fun and creativity.
Thought I would pop in briefly to say hello to everyone.
Happy T Day oxo
Fun page for T-day!
ReplyDeleteThe teacher's lounge was always a mysterious place.....LOL!
