Time


You probably know by now that Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey, where my theme is Count your blessings.

For me, time truly is a blessing.  I have time to reflect, make art, share stories with other bloggers I visit, and time to do whatever pleases me.

Time can be your friend

or your enemy.

It can help set you on the right path

or lead you astray.

My advice is

to use it wisely

and to your advantage.

Whatever you do, don't let it rule you.

For this page, I began by laying down green acrylic craft paint using an old hotel card.  I then stamped three different clock faces several times on the page.  Next, I added a gifted (thanks Julia) die cut clock face, a decorative brad, and a portion of gifted embossed card stock.  Lastly, I added the word TIME. 

Bleubeard and I are simply thrilled you took time to join us today as we host Art Journal Journey during the month of August, where my theme is Count your blessings.

This page is simply wonderful Elizabeth !! I love the background that you have created because that color is fabulous, I love it, the watches both stamps and diecut are precious. I like all the details, and, I'm with you when you say that the time may be in your favor, or against you.
Love your art !! and love all the so wonderful Art pieces from all the very talented friends in AJJ.
I wish you a very nice day, big hugs, Caty

I really love this page. Clocks in the background as in time past and clocks in the background as future time.

A fabulous time related page and very wise words to go with the photos you shared of the page.
I have to admit to wishing for more time in the day, but as you say used wisely we can find our own way to cope with the hours in the day.

A super 'Time' page Elizabeth! No shortage of time for me now that I don't work, but I still wish it went a little slower sometimes.
Have a great week,

Your reflection on time and your wonderful art are an inspiration to recognize what a gift time is. We each have time, and we each have decisions to make. I'm glad you choose to share some time here :)

What a beautiful time related page and I also love your reflections and very wise words to go with it!
I often think that my time seems to go by more quickly as I get older , but as you said so clever we have to find our own way to handle the hours wisley in our day. And I try to live in the moment, but it is sooo difficult!
Big hugs

Lovely page Elizabeth - you are very lucky to be blessed with time. I try not to squander the time I get outside of work and don’t begrudge the time spent working (usually), but I could always use more art time!

Jeanie said...

This is very nice, Elizabeth. I love the texture of the background and how well it sets off and accentuates the clock face!
