Hi everyone. Happy middle of the week. Today I have a tag for Michele's challenge at Tag Tuesday and also a journal page for Halle's challenge at Art Journal Journey.
Here's my journal page for AJJ. Halle's challenge, as you probably know by now, is I've Got a Notion.
I stamped the doily image multiple times on the background, and I also added some left over yellow paint as well as some brown ink. Then added the yellow cloth ribbon. You might have noticed it's gotten a lot of use lately. 😏This time to change it up I used some of the brown ink on it. I also added some yellow confetti sunflowers to it. The other items on the page, except for the spools of thread, are stamped and fussy cut from an old sewing set from Paper Artsy. The spools are from an old sewing themed die set.
I stamped some vintage thread cards (to the left of the spools) on some scraps of polka dot paper and then I wrapped a bit of waxed thread around them. The sewing machine was stamped on some less transparent paper that came in some packaging. I also had/have a bunch of little hexagons there were the centers of another die cut. They are in a pile on my work table, and I added a few of those at the bottom of the page just because I thought they looked good.
The quote didn't stamp well as the paper had a bit of a bite, so I enlarged it here. It says: "Each day brings its own gifts/Untie the ribbons".
And for Michele's Celestial tag challenge, I made this one using a tag die set by AALL & Create I'd recently purchased.
I cut the outer layer out of some oaktag/ tag board paper and the blue inside from scrap packaging. On the blue I stamped and heat embossed the little white stars. The big stars came with the tag set. I die cut those and then used gold paint on them. The space ship and the quote came from an old stamp set by Paper Smooches. I stamped and fussy cut the spaceship and it's flames, then I colored and added a bit of glitter glue to make it stand out more on the tag.
I'm off for allergy shots this morning so that's all for me today. Enjoy your day!

I like the first one the best; the colors subtleness and background.
Good luck with the allergy shots, I hope they help. Your journal page is lovely, I'm running out of ideas for I've got a notion! Love the beautiful tag for Michele's challenge, too. Hugs, Valerie
How cool is that background! Lovely page for AJJ. Fun tag as well!
Lovely page and tag! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
I always enjoy the images of the historic sewing machines because I learned to sew on an old Singer that was already an antique when I used it. Nice images.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Good quote on the page and the tag is sticking 👍
Happy day to you 😊🌺
I was surprised the sewing machine was a stamp. It is awesome. Great use of sewing and manikin. It's a great entry for Hale's theme at AJJ.
I LOVE that new tag die. It is amazing. And L love the heat embossed stars, etc.
Nice tag and journal page Erika.
That journal page looks lovely in amber and brown and I just fell in love with the sewing machine. It reminds me of an old Singer Sewing Machine mum used to have, in fact I think she used to have an old treadle machine at one time (giving my age away here).
The Peri Lusta tags remind me of something similar (and I am sure the same name here in the UK) that she used to have to mend her stockings. I wonder if I ever mended tights?

I do like the sewing themed page.
Hope your allergy shots went okay.
Isn't this week flying by!
All the best Jan
Beautiful art work, Erika! I guess those challenges really keep you on your toes in terms of creating.
Do those allergy shots help? My husband once had them for a year (or even more) and they had no positive result for him.
You've been busy! Hope your allergy shots went well!
