Hi everyone. Happy June to you.
Since it's a new month, it's time for a new challenge at Art Journal Journey. First let me once again thank Neet who hosted last month and also let me thank everyone who joined Neet's challenge. It was great to see so many entries last month. ❤
This month I want to welcome back a host we've had before, but whose art is always worth seeing.👍
Welcome Matilde, who you probably know from her blog 100% Handmade at Craftowanie.blogspot.com. This month the talented Matilde's theme is PEOPLE.
May was not a big art making month for me as I was busy with a couple of big yard projects and a few other things, but I did manage some occasional art time and even started a new journal. My first page for June is from this new themed journal I'm working on with lots of nature themed pieces. I thought the quotes I used on it were perfect for the first day of a new month and challenge.
The yellow on the edge is a slight carryover from the adjacent page. I used this interesting sheet of bee themed paper to make most of my background. I also used some fussy cut images. The lady embarking on this journey is a TH person. I also used some quotes from a TH stamp set. The crows are actually some clear tape. I cut them out and stuck them down. I also used a bit of paper lace trim that I have. I finished by adding 3 small clear half pearl water like drops beneath the book.
I hate to mention it, but don't forget the dreaded rules. Please, we only accept journal pages, but they can be any type of journal page. And just an FYI- if you link up with social media we may not be able to comment on your addition to AJJ.
I hope you're as excited about Matilde's theme as I am, and you'll share all your people inspired journal pages with us at Art Journal Journey.

What a fabulous first entry, Erika. I love the nature inspired theme. I love the bees. We both went with a TH paper doll, too. Thanks for this amazing art using Matilde's theme at AJJ.
No bees today here, I reckon the weather is really... you know what. But I have a MathildA today. So a "hi" anyways.
I will have no time to join. But I look forward to see more of yours, hugs!
What a beautiful page! I'm so happy that you like this theme 🥰 Have a lot of fun with your creativity and imagination in this month. Have a nice weekend as well 🤗
Happy June, Erika! I do believe that you have created some really gorgeous pages in May.
...it's June, but it sure doesn't feel like it. Wishing you a Jolly June.
I like this piece -- it has a great feel to it.
Need a coat if you're going out this morning. High 80s by the end of the week! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
I totally forgot today was first of June-loved your journal page
Lovely page for the new theme!
Lovely Art
A happy and creative month to you Erika
Thanks for linking to SundsySmiles
Much♡love
Seriously I want that coat. LOL Great piece of art.
Huzzah to a new journal! And your page is just right for the start. Thought that might be you bundled up - a book, bees and plants! You just needed to add a recipe or something baked, heehee. And I thought your May pages were fabulous. Hope your weather is nice this week, xox
Love your lounging lady page Erika. She looks as if she is wrapped up for a nice autumnal walk and the background of bees makes me think of a woodland for some reason.
Love the bee paper you have used, I will see if i can enlarge it and read what it has to say. The book at the base is awesome and the addition of the birds perfect.
Hugs, Neet xx
Beautiful page! Loving the vintage look and feel 😊. Happy June, enjoy ❤️. Hugs, Jo x
Your nature inspired page is brilliant Erika! Love the bundled up lady and your fun bee background! Hope you get to enjoy some more creative time this month! Hoping things settle down a bit for me as well!
I love the coat.
I absolutely love your gorgeous page, Erika! The colors and your "lady" are perfect here, as well as your amazing sentiments and title!
And I couldn't agree with you more about yard work! We have a pretty big yard and the weeds just seem to be taking over this year!!! (probably because of all of the rain we have had.) I hope you get your big projects done! Thinking of your! Hugs, Sharon
Lovely page for Matilde's challenge at Art Journal Journey.
Hugs,
