There is a chill in the air again after a gorgeous day yesterday. Wishing for another day influenced my journal page.
Random bits of this and that make up this page. I attempted to use some ancient rub-ons for background interest. A few bees were the most successful. Lesson learned with rub-ons. Use them when you get them…don’t hang on to them for years and years then expect them to still work.
The quote is from a vellum sheet I had laying around. I’m working on using up some of my orphan bits and pieces. An art journal is the perfect place!
Linking up with Art Journal Journey once again. I can’t say this is a favorite quote but it is a good one.
Not sure how I missed this one, but it is wonderful. Those flowers scream spring to me, and they are just perfect with their wonky petals.
I agree that rub-ons tend to be less effective over time. Don’t bother asking how I know (grin).
I like how you attached the vellum with staples. Vellum requires very specific tape and I’ve never found any that didn’t show one way or another. So, that was a good call on your part.
These are some really nice journal pages. I love the colors you have used, very springy like. Nice doodling touches on them as well.
This pages are just AWESOME . Great with the vellum!
Thank you for another fab entry to AJJ – theme April!
Great to have you with us!
Happy new week

Perfect colors for Spring, and I like the touch of bees there 🙂
What a lovely page for spring yearnings. I know what you mean about ancient materials. I have lots of stamps that I have had forever and when I use them they don’t work quite right.
I learned that about rub-ons, too. I got around it by cutting out the image & gluing it down! Your page is really nice & I like how you added the vellum piece with the quote.
I really really love this page!!! ,
I enjoyed your entries on Toxic Words – such great thoughts and a wonderful reminder to watch the words I use – to be positive and kind and use words to build up rather than tear down. 🙂
This blog is great i love reading your posts. Keep up the great work! You know, a lot of people are hunting around for this info, you could help them greatly.
