Hi everyone. Happy end of the week to you.
Today I have a journal page for Halle's "I've Got a Notion" challenge at Art Journal Journey. Since it has faces I am also linking up to Nicole's Friday Face Off and also to Gillena's Friday Lunch Break.
I didn't really know where I would end up with this page, but I like the final result. I started by making a stamped background and then adding the big paper doily. I have an old pattern book that I bought several years ago, and I cut out the bodies and some of the pattern info. Before I glued them down, I used some yellow cloth trim. Then I glued down all of my pieces, and I also added scissors stickers. I thought I was done, but then one other day when I was digging through my stash, I found these old vintage head stickers, which are a bit big for the bodies, but I just liked how they looked so I added them.
For those of you who are enjoying my Greece photos, here's a few more also. I last left you at the Delphi Museum, and today we're heading out to the adjacent archaeological site. I think I mentioned there was no Oracle nor any smoke, so sadly I couldn't get any of life's questions cleared up for me. 😏
It's a little hike up to the site, but the view looking down is pretty amazing. And below, I had a thing for all the old carvings into the stones. I don't know what it says however.
It wasn't too crowded there, except for a couple of bigger school groups. You can see them over on the left side of the photo.
More stone carvings. I could do a whole post of stone carvings. Grin.
A bird for David, since he asked where all the bird photos were. Hopefully I'll have some more next trip.😏
I don't know how old the pathway in the next few photos was, butt he images in it and around it also caught my eye.
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend ahead.

Fun page It reminds me of sewing class in 9th grade (jr. high). The ruins are beautiful too bad the Oracle was in residence. Looks like some of our areas are in for some flooding. I hope you weren't in the flood zone yesterday.
You may have visited Greece at just the right time. I was reading an article the other day about places around the world getting swamped by tourists who are becoming a problem and are facing hostility from local residents. Parts of Greece were included in the list. As the human population continues to grow out of control I can’t imagine that issues such as this are going to get any better. All the best - David
Those aprons are cute! And I am with you about those vintage head stickers...perfect for the costumes.
You too have a great weekend, Erika!
What a fun page! The big heads are totally hysterical yet completely "fit" the era. Sort of kitchie...I love it!
I loved seeing more Greek photos, those pathways are wonderful. And once again you have made a happy journal page. Love all the smiling Simplicity women. I used to use those patterns, too. It's only in the last 10 years that I haven't made my own clothes anymore. Happy Friday, hugs, Valerie
...this was a fabulous trip and you returned with many wonderful memories.
Happy page, I like the women characters 😀
Have a wonderful weekend 🧚🐝🌺
I've heard those oracles aren't as helpful as you might wish ;) I'd love to see all those sights in person. What an exciting trip!

It just blows my mind knowing how old some of those structures are! Looks like you had a great trip. Keep sharing those pictures!
Beautiful photos.
Oh I love this page. At first I thought it was paper dolls. LOL Your photos are fabulous too. Thank you for joining FFO and have a great weekend.
Interesting nostalgic interpretation for Friday Face Off.
I love every photo of Greece! What a great trip.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I like your ladies -- that one looks like Jackie KEnnedy! And I always love the photos from Greece! YAY -- beautiful stuff all.
Erika, I never tire of seeing photos of Greek ruins as it is so amazing that these structures were created without any of today’s construction vehicles or tools. And, they have lasted longer too.
This is really quirky and fun. I love the old Simplicity pattern. It's a fabulous entry for Halle's theme at AJJ. Thanks for sharing.
Sunday is fine. Anytime.
Good morning, I love your journal page for the sewing theme. and thanks for sharing more photos from your Greece trip. Beautiful.
Happy Sunday and new week ahead-it's raining here this morning-again Missouri does not usually get this much rain during the summer. Hugs Kathy
Fabulous page Erika, just love the vintage look that you have achieved. Have a great week. Lovely photos from Greece as well. Hugs Wendy K

Your page really made me smile- what a brilliant idea for Halle's theme! I love your photos and think I will have to sit at the computer to see rest some other time. Hugs, Chrisx
Really fun page and it does bring me back to my home ec classes from school! LOL Love the stamped background and the vintage details you've added to it! Your photos are amazing! TFS
The sewing page looks great, Erika! The ladies made a great addition to your page. The archeological sites are my favourite and it was great seeing your photos. By the mountains - what a great setting too!

Am so enjoying seeing the holiday photos. Never been to Greece so I am living it vicariously through your photos. Just look at that sky, so blue.
The entry for AJJ is absolutely fabulous - I love the Retro look to it. Those heads somehow just look perfect on those bodies and really add to the appeal of the whole page. Love the background - the section at the top including the scissors is so textural - really appeals to me.
Hugs Neet xx
