Pick Up Line

I thought I would share another Art Journal Journey entry using Chris of Pear Shaped Crafting's theme Hold the Line.

I always love a play on words, especially when they include a double entendre.

I have several National Geographic magazines I've been saving to alter with Turpenoid or CitraSolv.  Unfortunately, they are primarily from the 1990s.  I was hoping for something older, but realized back in the 1990s, the SUV was becoming the vehicle of choice for families, even though SUVs have been around since 1935.

I searched through no less than six National Geographic magazines and only found

this tiny ad for pickup trucks that was small enough to go inside a used photo mount.

The rest were examples of SUVs that are still apparently very popular.

Note I tried to find as many different SUVs as possible by all the major American automotive manufacturers.  I had one more, but couldn't fit it on the page.

For this page, I began with 110 lb. cardstock.  I added the SUVs using glue stick and the photo mount using E-6000.  I computer generated and printed the words "This is not a pick up line."

Thanks so very much for visiting Bleubeard and me today, and we hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Holding the Line.
