Friday!

    Hi everyone. Happy Friday. Another week has flown by, and so far this week I can say we've gotten no new snow at my house. Hurrah. Instead we had some rain.  And one day we hit 58 degrees (14.4 degrees C). ❤❤❤And with snow still on the ground and warmer weather, we've had lots of fog too. But rain and fog are spring weather which I will take. 😀 

 I'm going to start this post with a journal page for my Home Sweet Home challenge at Art Journal Journey.  I am also joining Friday Face Off hosted by Nicole and also Friday Lunch Break hosted by Gillena. 

     I think of this page as the frogs being at home in the pond. 😏

     I used a blue glaze on the background. After covering the page and while the glaze was still wet, I made some brush strokes in it. Since the background is representing water I wanted to have it have a bit of motion. Once that dried, I used some various frog and lily pad stamps from 3 different stamp sets. They were all stamped on white paper, colored and fussy cut before I attached them on my page. I used a grassy imaged stamp along the bottom and also a dragonfly stamp to add the dragonflies. Finally I stamped the quote. I know some of the images are stamps that came from a Hero Arts set and some are from a Woodware set, but a few of the stamps are in a set that had no labeling  (since I don't have the packaging) so I don't know who made them.

     I also have a few photos to share. Here's some antique architecture.

     Here's a covered bridge which looks a bit drab in the light of a grey day.

     The bridge is between Cornish, New Hampshire and Windsor, Vermont. You can see the Connecticut River under the  bridge is still basically frozen, but I'm not sure if it's frozen enough to be safe to walk over. This interesting church steeple in the next photo is in Windsor. It also looks a bit drab against the sky. It's interesting how my phone was able to pick up the bits of blue within the grey when my eye only saw grey. It reminds me of how the phone could pick up the colors of the northern lights when my eye could barely see them last fall. 

     And to end this post on a bright note, my tulips bulbs from Costco are looking better and better every day,

     That's all for me today. Wishing everyone a great start to the weekend.
