An Art Filled Post

 Hello Peeps! Hope the weather everywhere is getting better- not too hot, not too cold, not too much rain. Because it has been so very hot here I have been able to spend more time making art in my art room, and I've lots to share so....let's begin with this:

 This tag is meant for several challenges. The Simon Wednesday Challenge (add a number), the Simon Monday Challenge (animal magic), and Tag Tuesday (circles).

Products: manila tag (Ranger); patterned paper (Stampington); typewriter key number sticker (Sticko); Tim Holtz Paper Dolls, washi tape, and Small Talk Occasions Stickers; Archival Jet Black ink; Bokeh Dots clear stamp set (Ellen Hutson).

 For T stands For Tuesday hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth at Altered Book Lover I have this journal page:


 The tea setting was cut and pasted in my Dylusions Creative Dyary Journal and came from an old calendar. I found the quote online. Please do pop in and congratulate dear Elizabeth for 6 years now hosting T Day on her blog!! And if you have any kind of beverage to share whether it's part of a photo, art, poem, recipe, coffee mug, etc. etc. please do link up so we can visit each other. Thank you Elizabeth for being such a wonderful hostess all these years!!

 Of course I am continuing to diligently follow the Tour de France so I made this journal page also in the Creative Dyary Journal:


 I am joining Art Journal Journey hosted this month by Chris for the theme of "We're All / Going...". And here we are all going on an armchair cycling tour of France:)

 And, here is my first week of July index cards for the Index Card a Day Challenge (which runs June 1 - July 31). I chose for this whole month to go vintage, and use minimal color as an added challenge for me since I am not following the daily prompts. The vintage part is quite easy as I love vintage and have amassed LOTS of vintage ephemera over the years. The hard part is going minimal with color!

  1. You have a ton of art this week. I'm not sure where to begin, but I think I'll start with the ICADs and work backward. Your ICADs are incredible. What gets me is how dimensional yours are. I sometimes have a layer or two, but never have buttons, lace, etc that you add to yours. They are out of this world.

    Your tag is quite lovely. I love the circles, but most of all, I am always drawn to those paper dolls!

    You have turned the Tour de France into an art form. This is a fabulous journal page. Really clever and perfect for Chris's theme at Art Journal Journey.

    Finally, talk about swooning with romance and vintage beauty. The T Tuesday journal page you created is absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for sharing all your mixed media art and wonderful teacup journal page with us for T this almost Tuesday. And thanks for joining the ATC swap, too.

  6. Delicious eye candy! I think the older boy in the tag looks like he's going to get up to some mischief. Perfect tea quote and your interpretation. A fabulous crop of ICADs my favorite is the blue door. Stay cool and Happy T Day!

  7. Wow Linda, you have been productive. I don't know what I like best there are so many great pieces. I must say that Tour de France one really catched the eye though. And I am sending you an ATC, and I know have your address someplace. But maybe you could let me know in case I can't find it at dekn@tds.net when you get a minute. Stay cool. It is warming back up isn't it? Happy summer.

  16. Wow! You have been busy! Such beautiful things! I love the vintage stuff. I too have lots of ephemera and I intend using it on ATCs and Pocket Letters.
    Your Tour De France page is great. After all, a journal page reflects who you are and the Tour is part of you.
    Happy (belated) T-Day,
    Hugs,
