I'm once again joining Matilde from Craftowanie, our host this month at Art Journal Journey. Her theme is Numbers.
Can you see the numbers found in these postage stamps? Because there are faces on the postage stamp, I am joining Nicole's Friday Face Off.
It's obvious there are numbers on these clocks. Of course, a clock that has a face is any analog flat clock not digital. Therefore these clock faces are also appropriate for Nicole's Friday Face Off.
Instead of painting directly in the book, I chose to paint a sheet of cardstock which I adhered to the book once the page was dry. The first thing I did was tear a piece of security envelope, which I then adhered to the page. Next, I added the clocks and the postage stamps.
Once they were in place, I added the die cut clock my dear friend Julia at Stamping Ground gifted me several years ago. Instead of using clock hands, I decided to recycle the arrow that I removed from my new mouse. Waste not, want not. The last thing I did was use stencils to write the words IT'S TIME!
Thanks for joining Bleubeard and me today. We appreciate your visit and hope to see you soon with your own journal entry at Art Journal Journey. And please don't forget to visit Nicole's Friday Face Off. All you need is a face, even if it's a clock face!

I really, really admire your creativity.
...life can be a numbers game.
You have lots of numbers on this page. I want to know what it's time for? Smile. I'd like to add a few hours to the day as it seems like I am getting nothing accomplished, like finishing the painting and setting up my screen porch. Have a super Thursday. hugs-Erika
Very nice
This is lovely. (I've been meaning to visit your blog, to see your ICAD art, which I'm going to look for now.)
Orange isn't usually a color I gravitate towards, but I like the tones on your pages and the clock faces. What time is it? For me, it's almost time for Camp Newport
This is a fun page, and clever that you can use it for various challenges. Hugs, Valerie
Very fitting for today - before I could comment I had a look at the... time and saw I should put on shoes and start walking to the doctor NOW!
Thank you for the beautiful reminder!
I LOVE the color! You are very creative-I always enjoy seeing your work.
This really is a fabulous page Elizabeth! I love postage stamps on pages and I especially love the addition of your clock on this spread. Grabbing a chance to catch up while the Internet in our gîte is stable! Hugs, Chrisx
That is the most beautiful juicy orange background! I'm into orange right now. Great page, it's always time for time, right? XXO
You are just amazing. First off I love love the color. And how brilliant of you to use a clock face for Friday Face OFF. I applaud you my dear friend. Hope all is well in your part of the world and have a lovely weekend.
Gorgeous, so creative the idea of time
Much💚love
Very nice layout.
I am curious (if you know) On the 8 cent US stamp, are those ladies switchboard operators?
A wonderful mixed media spread Elizabeth! I love your use of postage stamps. I really must use them more often.
I love the idea of time and numbers! Great inspiration 🥰
the various works are well thought out by you, the double journal page turned out very nicely!
Have a good week, hug Elke
