Cheers


It's time to once again join Erika at Bio Art Gal this month's host at Art Journal Journey with her theme New Year, New Adventures.


I'm raising my glass today to cheer this new year and new adventure.
Cheers to a new year and another chance to get it right.

I just hope I learn to pack my bag better this year.
For this spread, I began by laying down blue and yellow craft acrylic paint.  The more the two colors spread on the page, the more green I got.   I added some orange and white water soluble crayons to the page, and added yellow and orange water soluble crayons to the computer generated text.  The bag was also colored using water soluble crayons to which I added a couple of stickers.

Thanks for joining Erika, Susi, and me today at Art Journal Journey.  And thanks for your visit and continued support of my art.  I am very grateful for your visit.

    What a brilliant page Elizabeth not just for the fabulous background with your bag all packed but for what this page represents so well! I do hope that the adventures you have ( with what looks like a rather full bag) are all you hope they will be! Hugs, Chrisx

    I love this sentiment. I find it interesting how different people come up with different ways to represent a theme. And a new year is definitely a way to start a new, isn't it? I am still waiting for the new year to start-finally slowly coming out of my winter hibernation mode with a little adventure. When I retire in a couple of years I wonder if it will be any different. :) I love the page. I love the suitcase and wish I was going someplace right now other than work. I always enjoy your pages. Hugs-Erika

    This is such a fun page Elizabeth, and it makes me want to pack my bags and go somewhere exciting! However, no big trips for me in the near future (that I know of!). I’m glad my card finally arrived - it seems like the mail is taking longer to get from A to B these days, especially between our two countries. I wonder if it’s getting stuck at the border, or just staff cutbacks on either or both sides. I bought those cards in the UK and the dots were already on them, so they were really quick to embellish. Hope you have a wonderful and creative day and that things are warming up in your area.

    New adventures are right! I love the strong blues and the green used because it shows earth and water-stable yet mutable...great page

    This really works but I particularly love the bag -- the texture/shape/colors. And the background is really nice too!

    The bag looks well packed and good to go, its a fabulous page, the background looks great with the book page and paints. I think it looks like you had an adventure when you created this page.

Your thoughts are very important to Bleubeard and me. I appreciate it when you care enough to stop by and even more when you leave a short message letting me know you were here.
