Alice Is Smitten with Emory

 Hi everyone. 

I haven't posted anything new for Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's theme at Art Journal Journey since day 1, so it is time to change that. Today I have a journal page where I recycled a magazine page, reused some metal stickers and also used a die cut paper scrap rather than throwing it out. 

I started by recycling this red sheet of paper with all the hearts cut out of it. Back in February when I was hosting at AJJ, I die cut lots of hearts on a half sheet of red cardstock. I saved the left over sheet rather than throwing it away. To use it for this page, I took half a sheet of colored paper that came out of the inside of an old Somerset Studio magazine and layered it underneath the red hearts. The 2 papers worked well together but looked a little flat, so I used white thread and a zigzag stitch and sewed it down onto a piece of white watercolor paper.

I used some fancy scissors to cut around the border of a TH photo and added that. I had these 3 metal letters in my stash, and I thought they looked good so I added them. The a, s and e don't really mean anything (although almost all enzyme names end in ase), but they were just what I had. In fact they all had been used in some other project at some time in the past,  and I had to peel some left over stuck paper off the back of them. I guess I could say that they stand for Alice is smitten with Emory, which is what I named the 2 people in the photo. Finally I added the butterfly sticker and the quote.

That's my new art for today.

I am also linking up to  Rain's Art and Dinner Date.  Her theme is folklore this week, and here's a couple of art journal pages I made last autumn that would work for that theme.

That's all for me. Have a wonderful rest of your week and weekend ahead.
