We had our traditional lobster and champagne dinner -yum. Cheers to the T gang over at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog where we gather each Tuesday and share a drink related post- I've missed you guys! We went across to the bay side one evening to catch a lovely sunset:
When we returned home from our vacation I found a most lovely bit of mail from Eileen from our 6 year T Stands for Tuesday anniversary ATC swap:
She made an ATC triptych with beautiful teacup images, and the Eiffel Tower :). And what wonderful, generous bits to play with too! Thanks so very much Eileen- and sorry for the long delay in posting!
For this month's theme at Art Journal Journey (anything with eyes) hosted by Gill I have this journal page from my Dylusions Creative Dyary Journal:
The background was an under paper I used from other projects but I liked all the colors so I glued it onto my page. I then added the Dina Wakley collage face from the Dina Wakley Collage Collective book and added some pencil markings to extend some of the lines of her drawing. Faux stitches(Whimsy Stamps) were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink, and the quote is Dina Wakley Collage Words tissue papers.
Finally I'll share the last of the index cards I made for the Index Card a Day Challenge held June 1- July 31:
#54/61
#55/61
#56/61
#57/61
#58/61
#59/61
I'll also share this with Moo Mania and More (theme is butterflies).
#60/61
#61/61!
It was a fun challenge and certainly kept me on my creative toes for sure!
That's it for me for now. I'll also share this post with Paint Party Friday. Really looking forward to catching up with you all again!

Your journal page is terrific. I was so enamored by the faux stitching. I felt sure it was real until I read it wasn't. It's the kind of wonky stitching I would LOVE to be able to create on my machine. It's a genuinely awesome background and a great entry for Gill's theme at Art Journal Journey. Thank you beyond belief for joining us and sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteYour ICADs put mine to shame. I'm so in awe of the ones you made. I love the mixed media component, the stitches, the lace, and the vintage images you have found to use for this final month in 2019.
Of course, I really, really liked that photo of you and your husband. You look SO happy together and your "outfit" is adorable. It was a perfect way to celebrate lobster and champagne. Thanks for sharing your art and your lobster and champagne with us for T this almost Tuesday. I am so glad to see you back in blogland.
You and the hubby looks fabulous Linda. The photo made me smile in your lovely outfits. And wow, super art. You sure have a great collection of ICADS. Glad you had a god trip and happy T day. Hugs-Erika
