Art Journal Calendar - September 2020

Happy September Everyone!

It's a new month, so I have my September art journal calendar to share with you today.

Over at Art Journal Journey, the very talented Jo from LetsArtJournal is the September host, and she has chosen the fabulous theme of Texture.

On my spread, I created a textured background with teabag papers, then used bubble wrap and Fresco acrylic paint to print some more texture. The journaling tickets were die cut from painted book pages, and after gluing them down, I added texture with the bubble wrap and turquoise Fresco acrylic. The title was die cut from black card.

And here's my August spread all filled out with my daily doings.

Thanks for visiting,

Tag In A Teacup

Happy weekend everyone! I have another page to share for my Pockets & Tags theme at Art Journal Journey.

My page started as another 5 minute piece for Southern Gal's Instagram Challenge.

I finished my page off with a teacup pocket, a tiny tag, and some book page text.

Here's a peek at the tag. I covered it with a piece of teabag, added a scrap of book page, then stamped a little plant. The teacup was handcut from a painted scrap of envelope.

And here's a closer look at the book text, taken from a couple of different books.

Thanks for visiting,

You Are Loved

Hi Everyone!

Here's another 5 minute plus page for my Pockets & Tags theme at Art Journal Journey. I have to admit that the tag and hearts were added after the time was up, but those 5 minutes do go exceedingly fast! ;-)

There's still a few days left to join in with the AJJ challenge :-)

Thanks for dropping by,

Abstract Journal Page

Hi Everyone!

I've got another page to share for my theme Pockets & Tags at Art Journal Journey.

My recent pages have been some 5 minute (or a little more) pages I've created for Southern Gal's 5 Min challenge on Instagram. This one was a little over the 5 minutes, as I finished it off with some journaling around the teabag, and I added the tag to the teabag.

I'm off to bring the guinea pigs in from the garden now, hopefully the grass will be a bit shorter!

Keep safe, and thanks for visiting,

Alison xx

366 Somethings 2020 - Week 34

Hello Everyone! I hope you're all keeping well.

Here are my collaged index cards for week 34 of 366 Somethings 2020.

Do you have a favourite this week? Mine is 233. I love the colours, the circles and that piece of text from Pride & Prejudice.

Whilst I'm here, I have another page to share for my Pockets and Tags theme at Art Journal Journey. There seems to be a problem getting on the blog at the moment, but hopefully it will be sorted soon.
