A second look: All I really need to know

Last updated : August 3, 2021

Today for Second on the 2nd I’m sharing a post from a couple years ago. At that time I was very into creating on loose pages then attaching them into a Creative Memories scrapbook album since I never actually scrapbook our photos.

 

Take a look….

All I really need to know

4-28-2019

 

Easter Sunday I was up bright and early like usual. The strange part was I had absolutely nothing to prepare or even get ready to bring along for our family meal. My mother-in-law told me to take a break and that she had it all handled. (which she did)

For once I had both the drive to be creative and the time to do it.  Thank goodness I had gotten my hair done and makeup on early because I got totally lost in art journaling right up until having to change my clothes to leave home. 

This was the first piece I created. Warm colors celebrating the warmth outside.

I really love all the texture in this journal page.

Next I completely changed my color palette for more seasonal pastel Easter egg colors.

Layering bits of this and that has definitely been my style of choice lately.  Also creating loose leaf style pages that will be adhered to my Creative Memories scrapbook pages…cause you know I’m not going to actually use those for the intended purpose.

I had to add stitching to this piece. I love how simply I can create texture and movement through textiles and trim.

I even zig-zag stitched over baker’s twine as a quasi frame for the quote I chose. I tied a tiny key to the corner for a final touch.

I wonder how many more pages I might have created had it not been Easter Sunday. Although other Sundays I’d have been worried about cooking for our family.

Linking up today with Art Journal Journey for Having Fun.

    Its fun to see these pieces Halle. And I noticed the AJJ topic, and I think these pieces worked great for that challenge. It was good to see the art again.Happy new month. Time is flying by, isn’t it?

    I’m so glad you shared this post again, Halle. I love your sewing, your layers upon layers, and all that texture you get in each of your pages. Even the words have meaning. Thank you so very much for this second look on the 2nd.

    And I don’t say it often enough, thank you for coding both T Tuesday and Second on the 2nd.
