Where Has Spring Gone?

 

   Oh my - winter has come back!!! Very cold weekend and today we had record breaking cold temps: 26 F (about -3 C) with gusty winds and snow flurries making it feel like 17 F (-7C), and that was the high for today 😱! I sure hope it doesn't kill the budding spring flowers...how are things in your parts?

 Needless to say hot tea is what I've mostly been drinking. Speaking of tea, I made this journal page with T Stands For Tuesday in mind:

 The background was just some excess paint from another project scraped onto the page with an old credit card. That pretty teacup is from an old calendar page and the words were computer generated. I hope everyone is staying warm! Happy T day!

 This next journal page is meant for Tag Tuesday (Faces), and Try It On Tuesday (Say It With Flowers):

 I used all Dina Wakley products and the tag is on a dark denim page in her Blue Edition Media Journal.

 And though it certainly doesn't feel like spring at the moment I did this journal spread and took photos outside on a much warmer day. this is for Art Journal Journey (theme is Spring), and it actually works also for Try It On Tuesday:)

 I used a ton of Dina Wakley products here but will not list them so if you have a ? about anything please ask in the comments. 

 There is a new challenge for this week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog and I just had to play😁. The theme for this week is "Recycle"

 Things I recycled: cardboard box, postage stamps, thread. After peeling away some of the top layer of the cardboard I randomly applied modeling paste in some areas and sprinkled some sparkling glitter on top. Once dry I sponged  Jet Black Archival ink on the edges of everything. I used vintage ephemera from my stash along with  Dina Wakley  Growing mask/stencil set and Fir Gloss Spray. Sentiment is Tim Holtz Small Talk Menus sticker.  

 It's a free standing piece- the ledger paper behind it was only to photograph the collage. And there you have it from me this week. Have a wonderful week ahead 😘.
