Hi everyone. Happy Sunday. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
Today I want to share another journal page for my challenge at Art Journal Journey. This month we're celebrating homes and my theme is Home Sweet Home. I am also linking up to Gillena's Sunday Smiles.
Today my page is all about something homes need every now and again, some TLC. I have some indoor projects at my house that need to be done once my husband retires. And once spring arrives, I have some outdoor projects I want to get to. In fact, I am excited to start my outdoor projects, and it seems like waiting for the snow to melt, the ground to thaw and the mud to disappear is never going to happen. 😏
I painted the background of my paper with various colored acrylic glazes. Then I used some scraps of TH printed color chart tissue paper. That tissue paper reminded me of picking out paint colors at the hardware or paint store. I wanted to use some white stencil paste on the rest of the page to represent either the plaster or spackle that someone would use on a wall. Could I find my white stencil paste? No. Instead I chose silver because it seemed to be the closest white that I had.
The ladder, faucet, tools and screws are all die cut and then colored. The paintbrush is stamped and fussy cut. To finish my page I used letter stickers for the words and also stamped and fussy cut the house image. That stamp is from an old set by Wendy Vecchi.
This past Thursday we had some warm weather. It was warm enough where we had fog too. Yet it was still a great day to go for a beach walk, and the fog on the beach made some interesting photos.
The seas were pretty rough that day, full of energy from the storm that headed into our area on Friday.
Even though I had the dogs with me, I was able to do a bit of tide pooling looking. Actually Miss Maddie loved the tide pools. She probably would have run into the surf too, but being blind, she isn't let off the leash, and I was not going in and getting wet. 😏
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and start to the new week.

Please noooo... One (!) kitchen-cupboard-door is giving up a little and now Ingo wants to have the whole kitchen (tiles included) renovated. Nooooo....
The kitchen is maybe 30 years old, that is nothing!
I will NOT let Ingo see your blog today! - Creative as it is though!
Reminds me of "Tool Time" with Tim Allen - I LOVE(d?) this show! Oh. Ear worm!
Ohhhh, fog, how beautiful (as long as we´re not driving). Wonderful pics and I hope Miss Maddie understands why she wasn´t allowed to enjoy fully...
Have a great Sunday! Hugs and to Spring on the way (hopefully)
Does blindness bother Maddie much? That foggy beach has a mysterious touch.
Tide pools are places of fascination and wonder and I can’t remember a time when I have not been drawn to them. You are fortunate to leave within an easy drive of the ocean. All the best - David
...I love your magical foggy seascapes.
Beautiful
Beautiful seascapes.
Lovely page and photos
Now that's some serious fog and super rough seas. And quite lovely, too. I don't know much about tide pools -- they look interesting. Your piece really captures home to me!
Ah yes, right now mine need a lot of TLC, but i passed the baton over to my son and daughter
Happy Sunday
Thanks for linking to SundaySmiles
Much♡love
It's a wonderful job using the tools to make your home beautiful again. Your journal page is beautiful! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it melts soon and you can finally start working on the house.
*wow* what beautiful photos of the sea! I love this stormy sea!
Have a good start to the week, hugs Elke
I like your art.
Isn't it nice how fog adds to a photograph, I enjoyed seeing them.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and good wishes for the coming new week.
All the best Jan
Those beach scenes are perfect.
