    They had charm

    Another day of playing…well, not the whole day…not even close.

    Today I worked my white journal. It’s getting pretty full. I’m definitely going to need to remove some more pages.

    I’m continuing my love affair with pattern envelopes. The old images are simply wonderful.

    I’ve also been going crazy with the washi tape. I finally got out my new dispenser…purchased last year about this time and hidden for Christmas…then forgotten. Nice. I got mine at Costco for WAY less $$ than Amazon has it listed.

    I kept with the sewing theme and used a bit of a very old measuring tape as an accent. The sunburst was an unused piece from a graduation card that has been floating around on my desk for quite some time. Never throw anything away! No, don’t listen to me…things need to be tossed otherwise you’ll end up getting a dumpster or two next time you move.

    I also broke out the dimensional paint for some texture and bling. I had it out for J to decorate a mask for school. They are reenacting the masquerade ball from Romeo and Juliet in his English class.

    T Tuesday: play it cool edition

    Good morning! Welcome to T stands for Tuesday!T stands for Tuesday_200

    I missed last week but I’m back and ready to show you another journal page. Art journals seem to be my major creative outlet these days.

    play it cool

    I got a little crazy with the colors on this one. Wild and messy yet soft and subtle. Really I threw every I had at hand at this one. Painted then torn book pages, washi tape, India ink and even an envelope seal sticker. Then I found the words…play it cool close up

    It fit my mood. I was creating in a chaotic manner…freeing my mind.  The words made me think of being a teen and goofing around…then all of a sudden an authority figure comes into view. Play it cool… Or was that just me? *grin*

    Speaking of playing it cool…

    poolWe were lucky to have one last dip in the neighbors pool before school starts next Tuesday! Sunday was a hot and sticky day…perfect for some splashing and an adult beverage.

    Errands and laundry are on my list for the day… What are you doing today?
