Hello Folks. My art journal was feeling a bit neglected, so I'm back today with a page for Rosie's Spring Challenge at Art Journal Journey.
I also have some Gelli Plate prints to share. Today, Birgit asked us to use 'Hearts'. I used stencils and also some paper heart masks I cut out.
As I passed my tortoises, I couldn't resist taking a photo of them queuing for a dip in the pool!
And finally, here are the beautiful flowers I received from my darling son yesterday. My backpacking daughter didn't neglect me, I had a lovely long video chat with her.
Hope you all had a great weekend,

I love your tortoises. What fun pets! You need a youtube channel for videos of their activities. I know I'd subscribe :) That's a beautiful bouquet!
ReplyDeleteWonderful page Alsion - so full of life and artsy yumminess and your heart gelli printed papers are AWESOME! A wonderful bouquet from your son - he seems to be a thoughtful young man - congrats on having such a nice son and lovely daughter dear Alison! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for yet another HAPPY AND BEAUTIFUL page linked to the Spring theme over at Art Journal Journey !
ReplyDeleteAND WOW!!!! You have tortoises ♥♥♥♥
those are one of my absolutely favourite animals -- I would so love to have a pair of them but my hubby always says they should live free...but I think I will have some in this life! I swear!
Hope you will show me some photos of them from time to time, that would me make happy!
♥♥♥
Good start into the new week !

Love the bright coloured page and great background prints-cute tortoises we used to have one of the hardy ones in the 70's when pet shops used to have a window full of them-used to live in a cold frame in the garden with an upturned bin full of straw for a bed -had him for years--a great climber he was too!!!

Your vibrant Spring art is such a delight!! Fab gel print papers. And the turtles-so cute! How sweet of your son to give you that beautiful bouquet, and a video chat is the next best thing to being together.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous flowers. You lucky Mom. Nice that your daughter checked in also. Where is she hiking? I think you might have said Nepal? Loving all the art today too. Your spring journal page is so cheerful. We have a huge snowstorm coming in tomorrow so flowers in art is all I will be seeing for a bit. :) Hugs-Erika

I can tell you LOVE flowers. First, the spring flowers you created in your journal are lovely. They make me have hope that spring is not just a memory or wishful thinking.
ReplyDeleteSecond, the flowers you received are wonderful. Lucky you!
LOVED the gelli prints, too. I am a big fan of hearts, and use them a lot in my art. Enjoyed seeing the turtles in their habitat, too.
Thanks for sharing your fabulous art journal page with us at Art Journal Journey today, Alison.
What a beautiful journal page! The colours make me so happy and I love all the patterns and texture that you created 😁. Those Gelli plate prints are wonderful and that's such a beautiful bouquet of flowers from your son. So nice to have a long video chat with Beth too. Thanks for your kind wishes on my blog and have a wonderful week! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous bright journal page! I love your heart prints too! How funny your tortoises look! Yes I had flowers too but events of the last week have kept me away from the computer a bit and when I did get there I totally forgot...does that make me a very bad mother?!! Hugs,Chrisx
