Hi everyone. Happy middle of the week to you.
Today I have a page for Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's challenge at Art Journal Journey. This month our hosts have picked 2 themes: Collage Fodder or Food. (Or you can combine them both.)
It wasn't specified who the food had to be for, so I went with this dog's dream meal.
I measured and then drew the bones. They were painted, highlighted and outlined. The dog is an Impression Obsession stamp. I thought his bandana would also work as a napkin tied around his neck.
All this was glued down onto a Gelli printed page that I had in a pile of backgrounds and partially done pages. You'll see more of those partially finished pages as I finish them for this month. Thanks Elizabeth for this chance to clean out a bit of the piles.
I titled my page with a play on the word bonanza.
I know 2 dogs who would be very excited with such a big pile of bones.
That's all for me. Today is not going to be an easy day for me as I'm meeting with my brother to complete some "chores" that need to be done. Sadly, Mom passed yesterday.
Thanks for visiting.
Hi Erika, so sorry to hear about your Mom, my sincere condolences. I love your journal page, the bones are wonderful. Sending you big hugs and love at this difficult time, Valerie
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your mom. May her memory be a blessing. 🕯️Cute page. I love the pun.
ReplyDeleteLooooove this!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember my Dad used to watch the show and Ingo remembers it, too (I admit, I left the room when it was on, don´t hate me).
Cute doggie, clever made page, hugs!
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family at this difficult time, Erika. The dog's dream meal page looks adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh Erika. I was all set to say cute things about your darling and clever page but they seem so pointless now. I'm deeply sorry about your mom's passing. Sending love and hugs and wishes for peace and healing during this really hard time.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry to hear about your mum Erika. I love your boneanza page, hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your mum passing Erika. Condolences to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteGreat page! I think that dog's eyes are bigger than his stomach.
Big hugs,
Alison

Oh Erika, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. What a sad time for you and your brother - my heartfelt condolences to you both and your families.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely page and I adore the bandana serving as a napkin around the dog's neck. Yes, I can imagine your two would be delighted with so many bones to chew.
Take care, I am so sorry for your loss.
Gentle hugs, Neet xx
My deepest condolences and prayers Erika.
ReplyDeleteErika, my heartfelt condolences to you and your brother. No words are really adequate at this time so just know you are in my prayers. I'm relieved she didn't linger long after that last stroke and she is in a better place now. Please remember to take time for yourself whenever you need it. I hope your meeting goes well.
ReplyDeleteThat page title is genius and your design and elements are so colorful and happy. As you know I love puns and this one had me clapping when I read it! XOX
Erika, our deepest condolences go to you and your family on the passing of your mother. It's always a sad time when a beloved family member passes and even more so when it happens near a holiday time. I know as my mother passed away right before Christmas. Hope you and your brother are able to get everything done that needs to be attended to as it can be difficult.
ReplyDeleteHeartfelt condolences to you and your family, I hope that your shared chores go smoothly.
ReplyDeleteYour journal page made me smile, Hugs, Chrisx
So sorry to hear about your mum, I know how hard it is and my heart goes out to you ❤️. Sending you and your family thought of peace and comfort! Loving your page, the dog and all those bones with the wording made me smile. Take care! Big hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read about your Mom, my sincere condolences.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that you and your brother are able to get everything sorted as required.
I like your journal page.
All the best Jan
I am SO sorry to read about your mother's passing, but I knew it wouldn't be long once she couldn't swallow. I know things will be hard for awhile, so if there is ANYTHING I can do, just name it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a clever take on food, Erika. I love the background. I was impressed that you measured all those bones, too. Of course I always love a good play on words, so that title had me laughing. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at AJJ using Bleubeard's and my food theme.
