T Tuesday: JJJ part 5 edition

Typically I have this post up long before now. I was suffering from a migraine yesterday and wasn’t able to get much accomplished after the onset. So here we are late for the party or the after-party that is. T stands for Tuesday just celebrated its 6th anniversary. I raise my glass of water… “cheers”.

Without further ado, I’ll dive right into JJJ show and tell.

Day 14: postcard

I used washi tape to add a fold-out with this postcard. I cannot remember where I picked it up but I loved the colors and image so much I wasn’t able to send it out to anyone.

I used the back of the postcard to journal about the card.

I also couldn’t choose between vintage or modern so I added a glassine bag for a vintage card from my collection.

I decided on this one because it was sent to Walnut Grove, MN. A nod to one of my favorite shows when I was growing up. I read a few of the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every single episode of Little House on the Prairie at least twice.

Day 15: Lyrics

This one was hard for me…don’t get me wrong…I can sing along with pretty much any song out there but thinking about lyrics…ugh. Not my thing. I decided on You are my Sunshine because my mom used to sing it to me.

Day 16: sketch

Kinda fun right?!?

This is how I made the watermark for all my photos on the blog.

Day 17: mail theme

I used a mish-mash of current and vintage for this one.

Day 18: hidden

I used a tag in a pocket to go with the theme here…I also expanded on the theme by adhering a photo of just my eye to the tag as well. I don’t often share my image online unless you know where to look. Yes, it’s out there but I’m definitely not the selfie queen. 

Day 19: stamps

The day before this prompt I’d been cleaning purging in my art space and found a small tin of old postage stamps. It was the perfect fodder for this prompt.

I have one more set of pages but I think that’s all I can muster for today.

What are you doing today?

    I’ve never been convinced I needed washi tape before, but your post today convinces me. Cool! And I love how you did “hidden” :)

    Happy T Tuesday!

    Glad your migraine is better. Love the journal pages. Had to laugh about not being able to part with the postcard, I know all about things like that. Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie

    Wonderful JJJ pages, Halle. They fit the prompts so well. Like you, I fell in love with the postcard with the bike and cat. I can see why you were drawn to it. And it’s your colors, too!!

    Thanks for sharing these with us for T this Tuesday, dear Halle.

    I hope your migraine has gone by now, Halle. I had migraines from childhood to my mid-30s. Then they disappeared and I rarely get them anymore. I wish that would happen to you.

    Your junk journal is fascinating. What a great way to save mementos like old postcards and use little collections like your stamps.

    Gosh, this was a fun post. Thank you.

    Happy T-day! Eileen xx

    I love how your journal is coming along Halle. You have some cool stamps and images. And yes, I do remember seeing the sign about prairie dogs and the plague. I wonder if it is a true or just to keep people away from them. have a super trip to Montana and Yellowstone when you go also. Happy T day. hugs-Erika

    I like that bicycle and cat one, too. I am thinking we used to have a large print on the wall a lot like that. Another reason I like it is because of the turquoise door. ;)
    Lovely pages. You do this so well. Thanks for sharing, and I do hope you get to feeling better. Happy belated T Day!

    Hubby gets migraines and I know how he suffers – I am guessing you are recovered now as I am so late getting here! Your JJ pages are such joy and you really are nailing those prompts! So many little memories too! Belated Happy T Day! Chrisx

    I love your junk journal. All about postcards! I love postcards. So thank you for choosing postcards as your theme.
    The washi tape is indeed beautiful. I have never seen that particular one.
    I hope you are feeling better now. Migraines are horrible. The secret (according to hubby) is nipping it in the bud as soon as the first symptoms happen (hubby gets ‘shooting stars’ in his eyes).
    Sorry I’m so late in commenting. Life got in the way (as it does),
    Happy belated T-Day,
    Lisca
