Some Art

Hi there. Friday is here and it is almost the weekend. A long one for me as it is Veterans Day (Armistice Day) holiday weekend. I just read that it has been 100 years since the first world war ended. If I remembered my history better I would have known that.

   Today I have a tag and a journal page to share with you.

I am linking it up to Tag Tuesday and their newest challenge which is Poppies.

I  drew and colored these with a couple of different red markers. Then I added a bit of black paint and some red Stickles glitter glue.

This is a great challenge for this time of year.

And I guess this page can be described as vintage modern. I began with the triangular background which was a page in my calendar journal. I did a bit of coloring, and then added a few of these "ancient" rusty stickers. These stickers are something I bought probably close to 20  years ago, and I liked them so much that I have 3 sheets of them, although by this point none of the sheets are complete. I wish they still made stickers like this.

Then I added the TH found relative and the quote, as well as doing a bit of doodling in the circles.

I am linking this page up to my Vintage or Modern challenge over at Art Journal Journey.

Big thanks to those of you who have joined in. It is much appreciated.

And before I forget, I am linking up to AEDM and it is Day 9 also.

The sun is suppose to disappear here today and more rain is due later in the day. And then, the cold arrives. Oh boy. 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Don't Settle

Hi everyone. I have a pre-scheduled post today since my husband and I are driving home from our little weekend outing to our college alma mater. We attended a hockey game last night, but I will have to fill you in on T Day on any exciting details from our trip.
I did want to link up another page for the Vintage or Modern theme I am hosting at Art Journal Journey

So here's a page from my calendar journal. My calendar journal which is getting pretty thick since we're in week 44 of the year.
I began by coloring the plaid background of the calendar journal page Then I added the TH relative and the quote. After that I stamped the swirl above her head and doodled in the stars. To complete the page I added first some black and white paper tape along the bottom and then some gold diamond tape over that.
I  like to think  this woman (on my page) from an obviously older time period is giving us folks of the present time a little advice in the form of this quote.

And it's Day 4 over at Create Art Every Day challenge.
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
And thanks for visiting my blog.

The Comfort of a Little Light

Happy new week everyone. The weather never cleared up this weekend, but at least today (Sunday) we didn't have as much wind and rain as yesterday.

 And no snow today either.

It wasn't much snow but we now officially have had our first white ground for the season.

Oh boy.

I've been staying up late watching baseball this weekend. They have been fantastic games. The tough part is the games aren't ending until after midnight (3:30 in the morning for the Friday night game- but that's about 3 hours later than I can handle, even with a little nap mid-game).  It's one thing on the weekend, another when you have to get up early for work. But I know there will be a lot of tired folks in school tomorrow, just not sure whether I will be one or not. Let's see how the game goes tonight.

And finally since October is winding down, I have one last page to link up to Linda's Creature Comfort page at Art Journal Journey.

The page is from this week's spread in my calendar journal.  I attached the grey-blue paper over the page, drew and colored in the candle with a white fat tipped marker. Then I used yellow paint drips for the wax and some red and yellow paint for the flame. And finally I decided to use the spooky golden eyed tape to finish off the page.

That's all for me. Have a great start to the new week.

Flowers

Happy Monday everyone. I am back with some art today. Not the most wild art, but a colored page from my calendar journal. 

I colored my background and then layered some tissue paper over part of the page. I played around with some TH figures, added a quote and a scrap of book paper, as well as some yellow tape and some small orange gemstones.

And since I am using butterfly wings which are fauna and a bought of flowers which are flora I am going to link up to Jo's great  Flora and Fauna challenge at Art Journal Journey. And the latest challenge at Moo Mania is flowers which I think my page works nicely for also.

And  I finally have some flowers blooming in my garden.

My cherry tree is in bloom. 

As well as my daffodils too.

Spring is really here.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

Have a great start to your new week. And thanks for visiting my blog.
