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:
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 😘.
"As we transcend our past in the things we do, we also become who we can be. Thus creativity is those attitudes by which we fulfill ourselves." John G. Young
I think winter has overwhelmed the entire country, or at least a big part of it. Everyone is writing about the cold spell, the bits of unseasonable snow, the loss of early blossoms. Same here.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com (and physically in Michigan)
We're in this brutal cold too. We were actually having spring and now it is gone. Hopefully it will be back soon. You've made some more wonderful art. Thanks for sharing that great tag with us at Try It on Tuesday, and thanks for sharing that spring page with us at Art Journal Journey. If we can't have spring, at least we can have spring art. Stay warm and have a great T day and week ahead too Linda. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteLove your tea journal page! Perfect for Tea day, too! The recycled piece is wonderful, too. Happy T Day.
ReplyDeleteLove the banner (did I say that before?).
ReplyDeleteToo cold here, too, though!!! On the way up since today - "already" 6C.
Hence tea, tea, tea here, too.
Great journal page, I take the words...
And the last one: fab!
To warmer weather, have a happy T-day!
You have created a plethora of art this week, Linda. It is all beautiful. I was really interested in the recycle challenge, since that is what I'll be doing starting the 1st. I was delighted to see your entry for Valerie's theme at Art Journal Journey, too. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I was really in love with the tea journal page you gave us for T this Tuesday. It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing all your art with us this week, dear.
Yes, a warm cup of tea is always welcome, especially in cold weather. Here we have had a month of non-stop rain! We need it too, after a year of drought.
ReplyDeleteLovely journal art as always.
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Wow, Linda, all your art is fabulous and you have been busy. Love that tag and each page you created. My favorite is the recycled page - so much to look at. Wonderful stuff. STay warm and craft on. Happy T-day. Hugz

Good morning, beautiful art-I love everything. brrr that is so cold we have been in the low 30's so I won't complain too much.
ReplyDeleteHappy T hugs Kathy
I hope you get warmer weather soon! Loving all you art, the recycled page is wonderful with the teacup and saucer and the tag is gorgeous 😀. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteA cup of tea definitely makes everything better, I agree Linda. Love your pages as always, so bright and happy. Our weather has been really lovely (unusual) but it is to be cold next week so instead of planting the flowers I bought at the weekend, I will keep them indoors a bit longer. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteSo much fabulous art, thanks for linking to all of our challenges - AJJ, Tag Tuesday and TIOT, much appreciated. Sorry its so cold again, hope spring soon comes to stay! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteA cup of hot tea sounds like the perfect comfort when spring turns back into winter. Here's hoping warmer days come soon! Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteWinter just seems to linger this year. Your art is just beautiful. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteYou made some very beautiful art, Linda. I always enjoy seeing how you use the Dina Wakely supplies. I hope it warms up in your corner of the world, those temperatures are just not comfortable. It's spring after all! We just had a couple cooler days and thankfully some good rain which we desperately need. It's too late to make a dent in the drought, but we take every little bit we can get. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteLovely art Linda, it has been a cold start to spring in Toronto too.
ReplyDeleteLovely art work. We have had record high temperatures [UK] but it is due to snow tomorrow according to forecasts. My visitors timed their visit right.
ReplyDeleteSo cold here too. Tomorrow the schools are planning a flex day as we are expecting a wintry mix. Ugh! I would be freezing without my tea.
ReplyDeleteLoving your tags and journal page. The vintage tag really is lovely!
Happy Tea Day and stay warm,
Kate
With Winter not wanting to let go, sipping tea and creating art is the perfect way to spend the day. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteYour tags are beautiful Linda! ♥ We had a big snow storm yesterday and I nearly cried lol...but it should all melt hopefully! I was so ready to get out into the yard to do some work!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful journal page ~ wonderful color palette ~ Xo
