Bleubeard and I are back at Art Journal Journey today. We are hosting this month with our Recycle, Reuse, and/or Repurpose theme. I had planned for this to be a quick, easy journal page, of which everything was recycled. I ran into trouble when I tried to scan the pages in this very old book that was falling apart. Unfortunately, it was falling apart in the wrong places!
A few close-up shots follow.
As I mentioned earlier, the background was created from the book pages that were falling apart. I used the apples, fussy cut from an old calendar (with a linen texture), to hide the worst of the problem.
Bleubeard and I are delighted you dropped by today. We look forward to seeing what you recycle, repurpose, or reuse and join us at Art Journal Journey.

An Apple a day keeps the doctor at bay. Fun page, good idea. Happy Easter Monday, hugs, Valerie 🤗
Unsurprisingly, a lot of these are not varieties we get, and I cannot see some that we do get (and enjoy).
Another lovely creation.
Nice recycled page. Using falling apart book pages is always a good reuse of them because what else can you do with them. Maybe start a fire or line-smile. This is another fun page for your challenge. Have a great start to the new week my friend. hugs-Erika
I’m curious about the date of the apple varieties on the list. I know that the most popular varieties now are not the same as the ones that were popular 50 years ago, and also not those from 100 years ago.

Clever way of fixing flaws. My favorite apple is Granny Smith. Enjoy your day!
good information
A great page Elizabeth!
Braeburns are my favourite apple.
There are a lot of these I never see at the grocery.
I only know a few apples, actually--lol!
Happy Monday. :)
This was not only eye-catching but helpful. Nice to know what the apples 'specialty' is.
Hugs
