The numbers game

 

We have a new host today at Art Journal Journey, as we always do on the first day of the month.  This month we welcome my friend Valerie of Bastelmania.  And I assure you, this theme is going to be a favorite of nearly everyone.  Her theme is Anything Goes.  That's right.  Create journal pages of your choice.  You have no excuse if you create any journal art at all.  Now's the time to start if you have been considering, but couldn't come up with an idea because the theme or prompt was too restritive.

I wasn't quite sure what to call this first entry of March, so I finally decided on The Numbers Game.

I have a few detail shots to share.

I think you can see where I acquired the name of the journal page.  It also shows how messy the entry is, from the background to the gifted die cut.  That means I can also share this with the lovely ladies at Try it on Tuesday (TioT).

If I am correct, and I know others will correct me if I'm wrong, I believe this is an American robin.

Further, because the robin has a face, I'll also be joining Nicole and her Friday Face Off Thursday night.

The beautiful bird is standing on an old piece of wood.

This is the first time I've used my new date stamp. 

I started this journal page using several of my handmade shimmering mists on 110 lb. cardstock.  While the mists were drying, I fussy cut the bird from a calendar page I had been given.  After adding the bird to the page, I added the gifted numbers and letters die cut, which also had mists applied.  I then added my date stamp.

Bleubeard and I hope to see you at Try it on Tuesday and Friday Face Off. 

Valerie, Erika, Chris, Bleubeard, and I are delighted you joined us and hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey to see how you interpret Anything Goes.

 

We welcome art journal pages that meet the theme requirements, altered book pages, canvases, loose, or stand alone pages including fabric and digital art.  We cannot leave comments on Facebook or Instagram entries.  We do not allow cards, tags, index cards, ATCs, or ATCoins, unless they are part of a journal page, and as much as we don't want to, will be forced to delete your entry.  Please remember if your blog is not in English, you must either provide a translation tool or translate it for us.  Hope to see you soon at Art Journal Journey.  

 

I am still getting a great deal of "Failed to Publish" notices.  If I know the blogger's e-mail address, I let them know that way.  Otherwise, I try to leave a message on the host's blog if I'm in a blog hop.
