Hi everyone. It's the middle of the week again, and almost mid-September. We're in a bit of a warm up after the start of the week's cooler temperatures too.But I definitely love that the nights are cool and good for sleeping.
Today I have a couple of pages from my Greece travel journal that I haven't shared. Since Aimeslee's challenge at Art Journal Journey is Anything Goes, I thought this would be a good time to show these.
Today's art is blue and also has recycling.
We sadly didn't get to go sailing on our trip back in March, but we did watch some sail boats. I started with a Greek Key stencil and made the square and then the inner circle. I then added some blue paint around the inner circle and also stamped all the mini suns. I decided my circle needed something, and that's when I added the inner design. It's actually from the center of a paper plate. We had been at my cousin's funeral back in June, and we left with some cookies for our 2+ hour trip home. The plate that held the cookies was still fresh and clean, and I liked the design, so I cut out the center and added it to my page.
The waves, compass and sailboat are die cuts. I was going to leave the sailboat white, but it didn't really stand out, so I made it darker. I also made some crazy blue sky to represent all the wind you need for sailing.
And my other page is the last page of my Greece journal.
This next page (in both views) is made with the leftovers from my flight home including the boarding passes, the luggage tags, a silverware wrap and a napkin from the flight. I die cut the globe, mini clouds and the plane. I also added a bit of very colorful scrap tissue that was wrapped around something that I bought. It makes a nice pop of color. And all the dot designs on my page are actually the shape of the island of Corfu. These were on little bags I had, but they make great "decorations" on my page so I cut them out and put them down in whatever direction they worked best.
Finally I outlined my page with a blue marker.
And there you have it. That's all for me today. Have a super day, and thanks for visiting.
