How are you all? Here we have finally gotten away from a long heat wave and it is delightful to be outdoors again. Being inside allowed me to play more in my art room though:)
This tag card is meant for Tag Tuesday (theme is floral) and Try It On Tuesday (things with wings). Scalloped tag card is from the Paper Cut; tissue wrap, paper dolls, botanical, Small Talk sticker- all Tim Holtz; Ranger Stickles glitter glue.
Heatwave or not I must have my hot coffee first thing in the morning!
Here are my completed calendar spreads for June:
For the Simon Monday Challenge this week (Summer Fun) I have this journal page:
The background is a gel print on deli paper. Vintage image and collage sheet sentiment (ARTchix Studio), printed vellum (unknown), washi tapes (Recollections).
And for the fun of it I did this page using some paint, magazine clippings and a white gel pen:
Oh how I love sitting outside under the stars in the summer while sipping a glass of wine...
Joining Art Journal Journey (Art For Art's Sake), and Paint Party Friday. Have a wonderful week ahead! I'll be around to see what you all are up to, and in between I'll be visiting France via chairside watching the Tour de France:) A bientôt!

Wow Linda! What a fabulous post! I love the tag with the little girl and I am so pleased you joined us at Try It On Tuesday! Your calendar journal pages look brilliant - I love how you added little sketches! Your Summer Fun page and the Nights under the stars page are both fabulous and Thank You so much for linking to Art Journal Journey! Yes, I am enjoying Le Tour so far too - looking forward to seeing Brittany and Normandy...and the cycling of course!!! Happy T Day! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, I love that in need water journal page! Always love all your journal pages. I have whole box of deli paper for geli printing. I should start using it! Great post!
ReplyDeleteYou always pack so much into your posts, it's a bit hard to figure out where to begin. Your tag is beautiful and I simply adore the paper doll you used.
ReplyDeleteYour calendar pages are fabulous. I think they are all very artistic and beautiful.
I am in awe of your collage for Art Journal Journey. I love to make collages from magazine images, and this is not just fun, it is funny, too. Thanks for sharing it at Art Journal Journey.
Of course, I felt so pleased when I saw Bleubeard's face on your blog. I'm sure he was as pleased as I, although he might have chosen a different mug (grin). Thanks for sharing your art, your calendar pages, and your doggy mug filled with coffee with us for T this almost Tuesday.
Linda, just saw your question about the wall at the back of the reserved area. This is an art gallery as well as a restaurant. Those are not stencils, but hand made tiles, each fired individually. I was impressed with their perfection and how well they each appeared to fit together seamlessly.
ReplyDeleteAwesome art projects Linda.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the beautiful tag with us at Try it on Tuesdays.
I have my chair in position to watch Le Tour as well, although this week I am watching the tennis from Wimbledon as well, so they get shared viewing time.
Happy T day wishes, I liked the mug you were using for your coffee today.
