Time for a New Challenge

    Hi everyone. It's Tuesday so it's time for a new challenge over at Try It On Tuesday.. Thank you everyone who joined our It's Cold Outside challenge. That's always a good way to start the new year, even though I know for many people it wasn't cold outside at all. 😏

     For our new challenge, you need to Add Some Text.  Here's my journal page.

    After I sent this page off to Try It on Tuesday to get it added to  our main post, I then decided to ramp up the romance a little bit. Here's my page with some hearts added. I think the colorful hearts finish off the page a bit more without changing it too much. 

   My journal page is covered  with some pages from a small and very old dictionary.  I left them a bit "rough" to create some texture. Then, once I decided what I was going to do with this page, I used a green ink pad and added a bit of color to the background  to emphasize the texture.

   The giant rose is a sticker from a John Derrian sticker collection book. I was thinking spring and a bit of Valentine's Day too since when I cleaned up my work space I took out a small bin of Valentine inspired supplies.  I die cut the lace along along the bottom using black paper. I added a couple of "fake" postage stamps (49 and Market) and used some postal rubber stamps to cancel them and add the postmark.  I also stamped this cute little frog, colored and fussy cut him. I was originally thinking spring and  about the spring peepers who start chirping, but then when I added the cupid and the quote (both stamped on acetate), I got thinking that maybe if someone kissed the frog he would turn into a prince. 😉

   Be sure to check out the other design team members blog posts. I think this one should be easy as most people add text to their cards or journal pages. I am also linking  my journal page up to my "What's Up?" challenge at Art Journal Journey.  My Art Journal Journey challenge runs through the end of the month (art journaling only please) but our Try It On Tuesday challenge runs for 2 weeks into very early February. 

   Thanks for stopping by my blog, and I hope to see your creation(s)  at our Try It On Tuesday text challenge.
