Hi everyone. Happy Thursday. We have some rain arriving today, but otherwise it's been a gorgeous weather week so far.
I'll start today's post with another journal page for Matilde's Houses and Buildings challenge at Art Journal Journey.
This page is in my Dina Wakely ledger journal, so all the writing in the background was already there. I started by taking a stencil that had some wet stencil paste on it and cleaning it off with a wet baby-wipe onto my page. Once dry, I did a bit of fussy cutting. I also used some stickers (from Stamperia and Ciao Bella) and punch out images. Before I added the old VW onto the page, I used black paint to make the road. I decided not to add any road markings to it because 1) it would make the page too busy and 2) because of the car you can tell what it is.
After I arranged the main images, I added a couple of fake paper postage stamps (49 and Market) as well as a 49 and Market pre-printed tag. I added the string to the left side. I also stamped some postmarks using stamps I have in my stash.
I also have a tag today for Lynn's Add Some Text challenge over at Tag Along (and ATCs too).
I started with this wine colored paper that had the white writing all over it. I cut it with an AALL & Create die. In the same die set was the one for the backing layer. I cut this sheet out of tag stock and then I stamped a bit of writing on it using that backing page from an old set by Oxford Impressions (a long defunct company). To finish off my tag I added an acetate image from 49 and Market, a gold paper butterfly image, and another AALL & Create die cut.
I outlined the edges of both background layers with a black pen. I added a bit for bling to butterfly. I stamped the word wings (a very old mounted stamp with no maker on it), and I finally added these pink beads to the front.
And to wrap up this post in case you aren't a paper art enthusiast, on one of my travels, when I went walking on the road to my mother-in-law's house, I saw some cool shadows.
You can see Mr. Pete was with me. Miss Maddie was spending the day at the vet having a glucose curve done to be sure her insulin levels hadn't changed for her diabetes.
That's all for me today. Hope your week is going well.

...vintage never goes out of style and we only have shadows on sunny days!
Really lovely two pages, love the light happy touch in both 🥰
We have had rain also here but sunny has been forecasted. We are going to celebrate the biggest summer festival in the weekend. In Lapland the sun won't sink at this night 🌞
Happy time to you and yours 😘🧚♀️

Awesome page. That will be Teague and I next week as we head out on the road. Looks like you and Pete had a nice day for a walk. Stay dry today
I like both of your pieces today and those shadows are just terrific. It's only 60 here today. I keep wondering, is this really June?
It is the season of the long shadow to be sure. Good observations. All the best - David
Both of your art pieces are beautiful. The first one really tells a story. I really like all of the shadow photos. Very artistic. Have a nice day today.
Mr. Pete is cute. I love the wooded area there.
Beautiful pages.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, somewhere in the cool shade, a hug and a kiss, Andreja!
Oh, I need shadow! Its going on to be summer here with hot degrees.
Your description of your artwork, dear Blogfriend, is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your Details.
...and I love seeing Mr. peter. Greetings by Heidrun ❤️
You journal page conjure's up visions of exciting travels. Your ATC has such depth of colour and reminds me I have a similar edge die which I've only used full size - so far!
Strangely enough I took photos of the shadows across the orchard last night, not yet checked how they came out.

Love your first one especially. When we travelled Australia 1995 and 1999 we had but that: a paper map! And we slept in the car. Sweet memories.
And I would do it again! Reckon you have no GPS/Internet in the Outback anyways.
Weren´t we "brave" back then? No, "normal".
Arty shadows, hope all is good with Miss Maddie! Have a great... hups, Friday already, oh, those time-zones! Hugs
Love the shadows and your pages! The first page has such a nostalgic feel and reminded me of a conversation I had with a woman about her husband. She was a couple decades younger than me and her husband was younger than her. She could use the tech that was available then and read a paper map, but she said her husband couldn't use paper maps at all.
I think both of your art pieces are lovely, and what great shadow photographs you've shared here.
All the best Jan
Love the hotel with its vintage look. The bird sitting on the luggage was super. Wonderful for Matilde's theme at AJJ.
Lovely tag, too. I like all the layers. And those are great shadows you photographed.
