Time to Travel Again

 Hi everyone. 

I'm here today with the latest challenge at Try It on Tuesday. Thanks to all of you who joined us for our Here Comes Summer challenge.

And I do want to to welcome Tammy from My Craft Central to the Team! It's great to have you join us at TIOT!

 For the next 2 weeks our theme is Travel and Adventure.  This is a great theme for summer, and maybe you are able to take a holiday or  vacation trip to get a change of scenery during this season. 

As we all know covid really put a damper on lots of travel, but people are starting to go places again, at least here in the US. From what I see on the news and by the different licence plates here in my area, lots of people are getting back out and about. For this latest challenge, think about travel and where you may want to visit or will be going. Or you could think about travel in general.  That's what I did for on my journal page.

I started my journal page by collaging some pieces from a travel brochure I recently received in the mail.  They were printed on newsprint paper, so they had no color, but they did make a nice base for my background. I decided to paint half of that background in blue and half in red. The next step was to stencil on the white dots with some gesso.

I have an old set of travel name stamps that I used  mostly on the left of the page.

I then hit my stash and added lots of bits and pieces.  The black plane and the "are we there yet" piece are wooden; the balloon and the taxi are clear acetate. There are a couple of journaling cards as well as some stickers. I drew the suitcase and painted it blue. Luckily I had a lot of red and blue items that worked well with my background colors. 

My page title is cut out of the same travel brochure as I used for the background.  The plane part sounds a little incorrect, but it was what was in the brochure so I went with it.

I debated with my page was complete at this point, but then I remembered these Janet Klein stamps which work perfect with the travel theme, so I added them but left them uncolored as they stood out a lot better on the page.

It was fun to make a travel page as I am a great fan of making travel journals but with covid, I haven't had any opportunity make one for quite awhile.

Remember at Try It on Tuesday all kinds of art are accepted, and you have 2 weeks to join this challenge.

If you are looking for some inspiration, please check out what the other designers have created. There is some really great art there.

I'm not traveling other than locally this summer. If the covid numbers stay low, I do have plans for later in the fall however. I hope things stay as they are so my husband and I can go away for awhile then. 

Thanks for visiting.
