Hi Everyone!
I'm excited to tell you that I'm hosting over at Art Journal Journey for the month of August, with the theme of Pockets and Tags.
Here's my page for the theme.
I used teabags for my pockets, snipping off the tops, emptying out the tea leaves, and inserting a tiny tag into them.
I decorated the fronts of the teabags with PaperArtsy Fresco Finish paint and a PaperArtsy stencil by Sara Naumann, then added a Tim Holtz rub on.
I love these nature themed rub ons.
And here are the little tags. I decorated them with some collage scraps, a mini Prima lace stamp, and some Tim Holtz phrase stickers.
I'm looking forward to seeing your Pocket and Tag themed art journal pages over at Art Journal Journey this month.

Hi Everyone! I have another page to share for Erika's When It's Hot theme at Art Journal Journey. For some reason, new Blogger's linking isn't working, so here's the link to the challenge (hopefully!): https://art-journal-journey.blogspot.com/2020/07/when-its-hot.html
I don't know about you, but when it's hot I don't particularly want to move or do anything, although the lady on my page looks like she is dancing, or maybe she's lying flat out on the ground!
Thanks for popping by,

Hi Everyone. I'm back today with my collaged ICADs for Week 29 of the 366 Somethings Challenge. They are also nos. 52-58/61 of Daisy Yellow's ICAD 2020.
208 is my favourite this week. The black blob on the left started off as a flower, but then I let it drip, adding more ink to create more drips. Do you have a favourite?
Thanks so much for visiting, and thanks for your concern about my back, it's a lot better, but I'm being careful now. No heavy lifting of tortoise boxes!

Hello Folks!
This art journal page for Erika's When It's Hot theme at Art Journal Journey is an altered magazine image. Playtime in the Jungle is, to my mind, a father playing make believe in the garden with his children, on a hot summer's day.
Hope you all had a great weekend, thanks for visiting,

Hi Everyone!
I forgot to do this yesterday, but I'm here today with my week 29 collaged index cards. I can't seem to get motivated to do anything else, so at least I have these little collages to keep me creating something. My back is still playing up, I think that has something to do with it 😣
I think my favourites this week are 198 and 199, but I did enjoy stitching all over 203, and I love the found text on 200. That was from a Jilly Cooper book 'How to survive Work and Wedlock'. I loved her little modern romance novels, 'Emily' and 'Harriet' etc., not so modern now!
Happy mid-week, hope you're having a good one!

Hello Everyone. I'm sharing this last week's index card collages with you today.
Hard to choose a favourite this week, but it's closely between 190 and 195. I hope you enjoy the found texts too, most were from Pride and Prejudice. Do you have a favourite card?
I will try and visit some blogs this week, I did my back in on Sunday though, and having trouble sitting at my computer. I'm doing this standing. Time for another lie down!
Thanks for popping by,

Hi Everyone!
I made a page for Erika's When It's Hot theme at Art Journal Journey.
I don't like too much sun, so when it's hot I either stay indoors, or I find some cool shade. Those inky circles and drips are meant to represent trees, and I used an old credit card to create the long grass 😄
Thanks for dropping by,
Alison xox
