Just a simple color block with random words. This was enjoyable to make. Searching for words I like and have meaning to me. Then, randomly adding them to the colored squares was gratifying.

Yesterday’s project consisted of making a page in my long skinny art journal. I used a cut out of a collage from a master board that I made last week for the background. I cut out words and the flag from some junk catalogs. The Enjoy and good times are stickers I got somewhere along the way. It’s just simple gluing mostly.

This morning, I put together a little page of some of my flower petals collection. Along with a business card from my local florist. A poppy petal that turned very dark after pressing it. It started out bright red. I can not remember where the two yellow petals came from. Most likely from a wonderful bouquet made by those local florists. Uses a piece of mottled green paper for the background. Hope you enjoy this one.

For this one, I painted my pages with broze acrylic paint. I used decorative scissors to cut out the trim from a piece of cardboard that came wrapped around something. I glued those pieces to the top and bottom of each page. Then, I added a sticker to the middle of each page.

I coated these pages with gesso before starting on them. I used my finger and acrylic paint to put paint dots on the left-hand side of this page spread. I cut out a blue water picture from a brochure I picked up while traveling. I glued that down. Then, I added some ‘lace’ stickers on top of it.
Both are very simple pages, but they were satisfying to work on.


Today’s project was a page in a tall skinny notebook. I used a piece of translucent paper and colored it with oil pastels, then smudged them together. I glued that down. Then I had some little cards with heart doors on them, so I added those. I found an appointment card from my vet that said love is a four-legged word and thought that was a good addition. I cut it down and glued it on. Then, I printed tiny pictures of two of my dogs and glued those inside the heart doors. I am pleased with the result.

This page was created using strips from a letter. Every other strip is placed upside down. The words and the picture are from a tea packet. Then I used a light yellow pencil to color shade the background. I hope you enjoy this.
