Its just about the weekend. I am ready. :)
Not only does my one week spring vacation begin this weekend, but its also almost the end of a very busy work week. But today we had temperatures well into the 70's ( in the low 20 degrees Celsius) and it felt so much like summer. Loving it.:)
So today I have a journal page for you. Since it is Friday I am linking up to Paint Party Friday. Thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting this fantastic site.
And I am also linking up to Art Journal Journey. This month's ' hostess is Linda and the theme is For the Record. My journal page is based on a Jimmy Buffet song. If you are familiar with his music, you can probably guess my song. It is his song Fins.
My fish Gelli print might be a bit busy for this page, but I thought the color and fish design was a great match for the music. My photo got a little cut off on the right side, but those fins in the waves came out just like I wanted.
I like it much better when I cut the words off the bottom. Maybe I need to paint over them so they are plain black. I think the white outlining is what bothers me the most since it seems a little too busy with the rest of the page.
But when I take out the words, you don't know what song it is, do you?
That's all for me. Thanks for stopping by.

such a fun colorful journal page,,
you must be glad the weekend is almost here!!
What a fun journal page, love it! Enjoy your spring break, happy weekend and happy PPF, and thanks for linking to AJJ, hugs, Valerie
I adore this painted journal page, and loved the play on words. Very cleverly painted and well thought out. I actually like both versions, but I'm not one who needs words to make a page work, so I enjoyed it both ways.
I thought of you today when I saw that Prince had died. I thought of your take on Purple Rain that you shared recently on AJJ. Hope your last day of school before break is WONDERFUL.
A fabulous page.. I love the colors and that there is so much going on - that fits this powerful song perfectly! I didn't know Jimmy Buffet .. it seems it is music that I like... the you tube mix of Jimmy Buffet will accompany me today at housework - thank you for the music and thank you for another fab page and THANK YOU FOR THE FAB page Valerie sent to me recently...SUPERB!!!♥♥♥
I wish you a wonderful week ahead - enjoy!!!
Here it is nice and warm as well but gosh..they predict snow for next week.... horrible ....
Happy Friday!

Love the colors on this gorgeous page! And the theme, too, of course. Wishing you a great spring break!
I bet your are thinking of boating....enjoy another warm day this afternoon. Going anywhere fun? xox
What a fun page! (I sure wouldn't want to see shark fins to my left or right!)
I just loved this. Thank you!
Blue and yellow. Those are definitely summer colors. Fun painting
Oh I love it!! I love both with and without words!! The cut down version could be re-purposed as a summer theme one month for your banner!! What is the song I'm wondering... I may google that!! Great fun colours...I think I am so in love with these two colours of late too!! We have had some beautiful exceedingly record breaking weather too! Enjoy!
Hugs Giggles
