Happy Weekend

Happy weekend everyone. It was cloudy and quite cool here today, but that gave me a fantastic afternoon of uninterrupted art time. I am loving this quiet weekend.
I thought I would share this page I made. The background is a mixture of spray inks, dark blue, turquoise, bronze and light brown. Then I drew the chair to fit the TH found relative boy. I added a gold metallic paper sun and some blue metallic paper stars, as well as some assorted  die cuts with a nautical theme. Then I stamped the words and there is my page.
I am linking up the Childhood challenge at Try It On Tuesday. I am also linking up to Yvonne's fun challenge over at Art Journal Journey which is Fantasy.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend also.

I love everything about this from the background to the pirate ship, to the chair the the little boy was sitting on. It's absolutely perfect for Yvonne's theme at Art Journal Journey. Love it.

This is a gorgeous background for your "Dream Big" motif! He is dreaming to be a pirate once ... I like your ship cutted out from (news)paper and the cool flag, the anchor and of course the chair! What a beautiful fantasy page!

Love the background of your page and the sweet, little boy. I'm dreaming of warmer weather. I'm not ready for the big chill.

I love this one A LOT, Erika! In fact, it may be one of my all time favorites of yours. The spray inks give it such wonderful texture (in all my favorite colors!) and I love the image of the little boy. This is really striking. One of your bests or at least one I love most!

Cloudy and cooler here, too, even some rain! That boy has pirate adventures in his future, I can tell!

Yes, it is indeed lovely that NH is cooling down and like you I'm enjoying the cooler temps as well. Now, we're ready for the fall color changes which hopefully will be colorful because of all the rain this summer.
