Hi Everyone!
Here in the UK, we set our clocks back an hour at the weekend, which is something I wish we didn't do. It's to stop children in the north and Scotland having to go to school in the dark, but it also means that it starts to get dark earlier in the afternoon. So, although I do love the colours of Autumn, I created this page, dreaming of long Summer days. Also, I really hate halloween, so I'm feeling a bit stressed over that right now! It seems to take over the supermarkets and the crafting world! Also, what is it with fireworks?! We used to just get them for about a week around Guy Fawkes Night, but now it lasts at least two months if not more! Not great for our poor pets! Rant over...lol!
And here's an art journal page :-)
And here's an art journal page :-)
Another collage page, with some teabag texture this time, a book page from Pride and Prejudice, some painty scraps, and a flower decoration that I found in some junk mail. Bit random! Hahaha!
I linking my page to Eileen's Dreams and Wishes theme at Art Journal Journey.
Wishing you all a happy and creative day,

Oh yes I am with you... so bad to let summer go this year as it was so beautiful...as is your unique page!!!

Lovely journal pages, Alison, so pretty. Our clocks went back, too, not a time I like! Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI agree you what you said about clocks and Halloween. Finland has recommended to stop settings of clocks back and forward at EU. Let's see what happens.
ReplyDeleteYour AJ page is absolutely
charming. Love colours and
layout.
Happy inspiring time 🧡
Beautiful page! The layers look fabulous with the pretty pink flower and splatters 😉. Wishing you a happy new week! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI love the layering here over the kraft page - and those white stamping textures just creeping outwards. Gorgeous papers - book page, teabag, tissue - and I love the stamping of the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteCompletely with you on the fireworks - got very cross with some this weekend - and on the clocks. I hate that it's dark so early - and on gloomy days at the moment I'm having to put the main light on at about lunch time!

Gorgeous page, Alison. I'm sorry I missed this one when you posted it. I love your journaling style! I just want over the list of 98 entries and picked out nine favorites. Three of them are yours! This one and two wishes pages.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your beautiful pages with us at Art Journal Journey for the October Dreams theme. Eileen xx
Playing a little catch up here Alison, it's been a bad few months my end for crafting etc.. Hope you are feeling better after your surgery and results?
ReplyDeleteA beautiful page, looking forward to brighter/warmer days.
I know what you mean about the fireworks but they are used to celebrate many festivals and events now.. times have changed since I was a young girl, no longer one evening of firework displays with the remnants of smoke still lingering in the air... I miss those days!
Sending Hugs your way Tracey xx
