Our New TIOT Challenge

 Hi everyone. It is already time for another new challenge at Try It on Tuesday. Where is the month of June disappearing to?

    Thank you to everyone who joined us for our book page challenge, and thank you Vicki at Stamped Smiles for having been our guest designer.

    For our next challenge, we're going with the season (at least here in the Northern Hemisphere). Our newest challenge is

Here Comes Summer

     Summer makes me think of swimming, whether it is at the beach, a lake or a pool. My page is all about that fun summer activity.

       I started my art journal page with some ink pads. I chose the colors of water, trees and sand. I then used some white paint and painted clouds around the border.  They look a little blue in the photo even though I tried adjusting the white levels (oh no) , but I wanted big white puffy cumulus  clouds that you would see on a beautiful day. 😏

      Then I did something a little different than my usual pages. I dug out some older dies and made a page only using them. I drew in a few details, and the men's bathing suit actually had holes so I added the ties. I also added in some shells to make this a day at the beach.

       I am also joining Matilde at her What Makes You Happy challenge at Art Journal Journey.  Please remember only art journaling (and no cards) are accepted at AJJ.

       I know the weather is nice and people don't think about crafting the same way as you might when it's cold, but if you need any inspiration, check out all the design team's creations. There's lots to  inspire you there as the team is made up of some talented ladies.  I hope you're inspired and join us at Try It on Tuesday also.
