Happy Weekend

Hi everyone. The sun is back out after 2 days of clouds and rain. Although it is a bit windy, it should be a nice day.  And maybe since it is now summer it will actually warm up, although I must admit I like these not too hot days.
And I have another page for Halle's "Words to Live By" at Art Journal Journey.
 I played with some bits and pieces on my work table and made a page just adding those items to the canvas page in my summer journal. It was a fun little exercise to try to lay things out in an interesting arrangement.

And I know it isn't the most complex tag I've ever made, but see the seagulls on the tag on the left?
I am going to link that up to Sandie's "Things with Wings" challenge at Tag Tuesday.

And here's the quote to fit Halle's challenge enlarged.

And look, my peony has finally decided to bloom.
And my roses too.
It is summer!
Thanks for visiting and
Happy weekend.

I love your all things Summer page. And I'm taking to heart those words to live by. Do something today your later self will thank you for. This morning I'm off to Sudbury with a friend for a plein air class at the Riverfest. Your peony is gorgeous. Warmer weather is on the way for next week. Finally! Enjoy your day!

I've never had peonies and don't have roses where we live now, so I'm enjoying your lovely flower photos :)

This is wonderful, Erika. I love all the elements you chose to use and they fit so well together, too. You found the perfect embellishments and images to fit together. This is most impressive. Thanks for sharing it, using Halle's theme at Art Journal Journey, dear friend.

It's incredibly hot here. 97 F with heat index at 108 yesterday. If only spring had stayed around a bit longer. Horrendous storms tonight made it hard to get on the internet.

Your roses are stunning. Is there any flower more universal than a rose?
