Remember


 Today in the US it is Memorial Day. A holiday weekend that for many means a first trip to the shore for the season, picnics, and grilling. Yes, it's good to enjoy those things but I hope everyone has a place in their heart to say a special prayer of thanks and remember the most important reason for this day- to honor those who so selflessly gave their lives so that we may live in the land of the free.

 I made this tag for the Simon Monday Challenge (frame it); the Simon Wednesday Challenge (bright colors inspiration moodboard); and Tag Tuesday (gardening):




 Products: manila tag; various Distress inks; Tim Holtz/Sizzix Wildflowers dies; Tim Holtz Clippings stickers; wood frame (Studio Calico); fabric scrap; dark green cardstock; vintage image( ARTchix Studio collage sheet); Stickles glitter glue(Ranger).

 For T stands for Tuesday I guess I'll make most of you hungry again:)

 Once again, another breakfast in Cape May, NJ on our last visit. Of course, at the Oceanview Restaurant. And I must have this scrambled egg/ veggie wrap for one breakfast every time we're in town. SO yummy- and I get two meals out of it too:):)

 Journal page:


 a page from the Dylusions Creative Dyary journal. I kept it clean and simple using an old PSX bee stamp, a new Dina Wakley flower stamp, and a few Dina Wakley paints. Sharing my page with Art Journal Journey hosted this month by Erika with the theme of  "in the sky/in the air".

 And just for fun I'll share a few more of my circle art pieces from an Instagram challenge last month:





 Joining Paint Party Friday later this week too. Happy week to everyone!

    Your breakfast looks really delicious Linda. I am glad I am reading this after dinner Monday evening so it wouldn't make me too hungry. And wow, you have so much fantastic art again today. I love the page with those Dina Wakely stamps (I also have them) and you used them so well. Perfect for AJJ, and I thank you for joining us. Hope you have a fantastic T Day too. hugs-Erika

    Your breakfast wrap looks delicious. Two meals at least. Such generous portions :) I've enjoyed seeing the circle art and really like these two. They have been so varied, which is a challenge in itself :) Happy T Day!

    I LOVE your gardening tag. I love how you combined fabric with paper. It's a beauty. I also adore that journal entry. It is so good to see a bee because they are so scarce. Nice way to keep them in our minds and a great way to honor Erika's theme at Art Journal Journey, too.

    Your breakfast of veggie wrap is a vegetarian's dream. I would gladly join you. It and your coffee look SO yummy. Thanks for sharing it with us for T this Tuesday.

    Your circles are so clever and unusual. I'm loving them.

    So much lovely art this week, Linda. I don't know where to begin. Love the circle art! The compositions are just perfect for the format.

    I love seeing how you use the Dylusions journal. I'm very tempted to try one of Dyan's Dylusions journals next year. Your egg veggie wrap looks scrumptious!

    Happy T-day! Eileen xx

    Your poppy blog border reminds me of a beautiful dress and jacket with a border poppy print my mother made me. Your tags and circle art are delicious eye candy. I love going out to eat and having leftovers for another awesome meal.
    Happy T Day
