It's June

   Hi everyone.  Happy  new month to you. It's June. Holy cow, we're already into the 6th month of the year. 😲

   Since it's a new month, it's time for a new challenge over at Art Journal Journey. 

   Thank you Mia for hosting last month. And thank you to everyone who joined in. It was a lot of fun (for me at least) to make some bird inspired pages. ❤

    This month we're welcoming back one of the talented hosts who has been with us for a few years. This month's host is Matilde. You probably know her from her blog 100% Handmade. I'm excited to have Matilde back because besides liking her art,  I'm excited for her theme this month. This month Matilde's theme is   Houses or Buildings.

    Here's my first entry for the month. 

    I created my own structure by using some colored cardstock and also an old TH Sizzix die.  Then I took some 6x6 wooden plank designed paper and arranged my structures on it. I added some hand drawn details, and then also added a fussy cut door. It's June so around that door there are some flowers growing and a butterfly flitting about.

   Along the bottom of the page I added a strip of black paper. I took a white pen to add some wood like texture to the paper. Then I also took a zigzag die cut border. I outlined the bottom with a gold Sharpie and then I added to my page. Finally I stamped  the quote directly on my page. 

   Before I sign off let me mention our dreaded rules. Most importantly, please remember we are an art journaling challenge. We DO NOT accepted cards, ATC's, tags, etc. But do accept journal pages of any kind made with any type of media.  Also, not everyone has every type of social media (or even any social media), so if you link up from Facebook, Instagram or other site, we may not be able to leave you a comment. 

   Otherwise, I hope you're also excited for Matilde's theme. I can't wait to see your House and Buildings art over at AJJ this upcoming month. I hope you'll want to join us.
