Hi everyone. I hope your weekend is going well.
I'm in the middle of a busy stretch of the month. The busy part is mostly fun things, but part of me is longing for quiet time. Tomorrow (Monday) I have nothing on the calendar, and I can't wait.
I thought I would share this journal page for Wendy's Doors and/or Arches challenge at Art Journal Journey.
Keeping things white is not something I usually do, so I thought it would be good lesson to refrain from lots of color on a page.
I used a gelli print transfer on deli paper on the bottom and right side of my page. This time my print picked up some green off the magazine page as well as the black image.
While going through bins of paper during the "big clean" of my art space in the past few months, I found a small stack of paper doors and arches. I left them where I could find them, and I used one without coloring it on my page. You can see the shrine doors actually open.
I added the golden sun and also 2 clear plastic crafting dots.
Finally I dug out an old Stampers Anonymous rubber stamp I own and stamped it a few times on my page.
And that's all I did. I actually like the result, and it was good for me to stay away from color-smile.
That's all for me today. My daughter is home this weekend; it's hot; and later today we'll be heading up to my MIL's for our usual Sunday visit.
Thanks for visiting.

What a beautiful page! I love the colours and what you did with the door.
Wish you a quiet and relaxing Monday, Erika!
An inspirational quote!
Beautiful page! The minimal colours looks so gorgeous with the touch of gold, so clean and fresh looking 😊. I hope you're enjoying the weekend! Happy wishes! Hugs Jo x
Lovely page. It's amazing what you come across when you have a big clean.
I like the restful simplicity of your page. Enjoy your visit and stay cool.
A lovely page.
Have a good visit and a relaxing Monday.
All the best Jan
Nice execution of challenge! I'd be soooo bad at it. LOL How fortuitous to find those doors! That's a very nice door shrine, reminds me of the stuff they sell at Alpha Stamps. Oh, I know you are going to have fun at MIL's, water is your happy place. Enjoy and have a wonderful Retiring Monday, haha. XOX
"Back in the day" I hated this saying.
But it became true and every new entrance was even better.
So much so that I fear to leave this "room".
Wishing you a quiet Monday. Here: Stress! I had to make pizza sauce (old tomatoes) hence I need to make pizza! LOL.
And paper work. And work and bread for Ingo and....letter to Bro...
But! Summer will be back - to a happy new week, hugs!
Dear Erika,
I'm similar to you, I'm experiencing a busy time with mostly fun things, but part of me is longing for quiet time, too. It doesn't matter, things will calm down again and then we'll have great experiences to draw on!
I like your artwork with sun, window and wise saying very much.
Happy new week and best wishes, Traude

You use the negative space beautifully, Erika. I hope the weekend with your daughter was terrific and the MIL visit, too!
OMGosh I love this green and it is light. Wonderful piece. Have a great day.
just got a gelli plate and want to use it to transfer images. Once upon a time I made one of my own, terribly heavy and awkward, and got moldy pretty quickly. I like your words, and the partial images
SO glad you had a good weekend. I hope it was as nice as you hoped for. I actually LOVE the minimalist look you created for this post. It was my style. Thanks for sharing it at Art Journal Journey using Wendy's theme, too.
Love your page Erika, in my favourite lime green as well. That was a very useful find of the doors and arches too. Have a great rest of the week and weekend. Hugs Wendy.
Really love this one Erika! Simply beautiful.
A fantastic page Erika, I love the images and how you used the green shades and left some open spaces.

Oooh! Love how you've made this latest page for Wendy's AJJ theme! It's a truly cool page! Hugs, Chrisx
What a delightful page - a great idea to show white in all its glory with just that hint of colour. I do like the fact that you chose lime green as your accent colour, it's sharp and clean and crisp. A very lovely page. Fabulous shrine.
Hugs, Neet xx
