Hi everyone. As I say every other week, it's Tuesday, and time for a new challenge at Try It on Tuesday.
Thank you Tracey for being our guest designer last challenge. It's great you were able to join us. Also a big thank you to everyone who joined our Make Your Own Background challenge. I love backgrounds, and so I really enjoyed seeing how different people went about it.
For our latest challenge, we want you to include NUMBERS.
I made a hodgepodge page that used up some elements that were sitting on my work table. I started by painting my page some bright green and yellow. Then I grabbed this partially done tag (well the top was painted green and had a few odds and ends on it) and added that to my page. To continue my page, I took those same bright background colors and colored in the bottom of the tag.
I then grabbed lots of items from my scrap bin as well as a few "postage style stamps" from a 49 and Market roll. Before I finished layering ephemera, I took a brick stencil and some white paint and added a bit of stenciling. My page felt too vertical and it needed something to not make it feel like it was going to slide off the top or bottom of the page, but the stenciled bricks fixed that. After my stencil paint dried, I went back and continued to add a few more bits and pieces.
I finished the page with some very old rub on numbers from Making Memories (remember them?) and also added the sunshine quote and another small tag that said bright.
There's so many ways to use numbers, so check out how the other design team members added numbers to their art.
I hope you like numbers and will join us at Try It On Tuesday with some numbered art. As always, this challenge runs for the next 2 weeks.

The cheery yellow and green attract me very much, plus the black stencilling, numbers, and that little crow!
LOVE it Erika! The colours, the numbers, all of it! ((HUGS)) Helen
I like this!
This is a gorgeous piece of art. The colors are so good together and the texture is fantastic. At first I thought the numbers would be distracting, however, the placement of them draws the eye all over the page to take everything in. Very well done my friend.
I like the colours and design!
Great page Erika, love the vibrant green and all the elements
Bright is the word! A bright pop of spring :-)
Lovely page!
I like the tag and I really love how you created the white wall. Genius.
Great colours and lovely design.
All the best Jan
I find numbers interesting. My sons and husband all born on odd numbers, and myself an even number.
Another lovely one and enjoy reading how you put these together. Thanks Erika.
Fun page to search for the numbers
Cheerful page and I go with Tom. Have a happy Wednesday, hugs
I just had to comment on your post here Erika, since I really love your page! So much texture, I always love a feast for the eyes. Love the spring blooms and new life in your yard too. Hope May turns out awesome. Anita xx
I love this page Erika with the added numbers and that beautiful daffodil. Have a good week, I am off to read and look at the photos of your art that I have missed since my last visit.
What a great way to use that fabulous tag. I love these colours - definitely a little bit of sunshine! Hugs, Chrisx
It's a lovely fresh spring page Erika with lots of lovely textures, and the black numbers really pop.
I enjoyed looking at your photos of your visits to Charleston and the older streets look so interesting.
