A happy hello full of sunshine to you! Hope your week went well. I've been needing some play time, so I created a spread in one of my art journals. My fingers are hurting right now, so no commentary unless I add some later. Enjoy my ode to Spring!
Vera Lane digi stamp, Newton's Nook stamps, dies and stencils, Stamplorations die, Crafters Companion and Funky Fossil stencils, my mom's decorative fabric trims, fabric gaffer tape, ribbon, old Doodlebug Just My Type alpha stickers, BG Lily Kate tag, lots of acrylic paints and layers, Pitt, Flair, Gel pens, Promarkers, Wink of Stella, Stickles, computer-generated sentiment my words. (I looked for quotes about Spring and this popped into my head instead.)
MY CHALLENGE PLAYLIST:
3. Creative Artiste March #69: AMMG -- #1/3 The mediums I used are: acrylic paint, india ink, pencil, markers, ribbon, fabric tape, glitter and paper.
4. Outlawz Color Tuesdays 3/9-3/22 Photo Insp. -- I was inspired by the photo's colorful outdoor setting. 
5. More Mixed Media March: AG + Opt. GREEN -- Option played!
6. A Place To Start March #3 (3/1-4/3): Pick a Shape -- #1/8 Rectangle (my page spread is that shape, so is each page of the spread)
7. Stamplorations March Stencil Challenge: AAG -- #1/3 I stenciled the mountains, vines, stitching and clouds (and used Stamplorations' For the Birds die) 
8. Inky Paws Challenge #143: Color Challenge -- #1/3 I've used all the colors and I've used Newton's Nook products: Mountains stencil, Light String stencil, Cottage Garden dies and stamps 
10. Happy Little Stampers March Stencil Challenge: AG -- I stenciled the mountains, vines, grass lines and clouds. 
13. Allsorts Challenge Week 614: Use Yellow -- #1/3
14. Scrapping 4 Fun #187: Stitching Real or Faux -- #1/3 My faux stitching is stenciled in green paint. 
15. MAWTT #128: Spring Is Coming! -- #1/3 
17. Colour Crazy Craft Challenge Week 9: AG with Colouring -- #1/2 I've used Promarkers, Pitt India Ink Pens, Flair Pens, Gel Pens, Smooch Ink, acrylic paints, Wink of Stella and Stickles to colour my spread.
18. The Library Challenge #78: Garden Birdwatcher's Bible -- I was inspired by the cover's birds and Spring/Nature/Outdoors vibe. 
19. 613 Avenue Create #3 March 2021: AG + Opt. Slider Card -- #1/8 I don't do slider cards (I do have some Lawn Fawn slider stamps/dies, but I don't have that Round Tuit yet). So I'm playing under the Anything Goes category.
I love your creative page for spring, it is so bright and colorful!

Joyful page!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing at Allsorts;-))m
Hello Aimeslee. I think this is the first time I have visited your blog.
ReplyDeleteI first of all got massively distracted by your extensive list of materials (what was "Wink of Stella"? and went off to Amazon to find that one where I found the Wink and lots of other fascinating pens too, then got further distracted by your list of challenge sites.
Back to your art which is amazing, so much to look at and a really great colourful overall picture.
I love the purple shiny paper mountains and the letters of "SPRING" and the girl with the hair bunches holding The (beautiful) Single Flower.
And there is a sweet bunny and a fox.
Thanks very much for a great entry on my AJJ challenge.
Very pretty, happy sketches. Looks like a children's book illustrations. :)

Hi, Aimeslee,
ReplyDeleteYour spread is fabulous. Today is a really awesome day here in Georgia and looking at this makes me want to go outside and just walk around in the fresh air. I think I will do that as soon as I finish your comment.
I would love to see this in our challenge at 613 Avenue Create. We haven't seen any entries from you lately and we miss you!
Hugz,
Chana
A fabulous spread Aimeslee and you put your 'play time' to good use. This is such a happy page and I love the quote you used. Spring months must have been a nightmare for you working in tax accounting, so ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us at Try it on Tuesday,

These are such wonderful pages. I can't imagine how long it took to do these. So much work, but so worth the effort. I have always thought about making some king of book, but don't even know where to start. Maybe, I will think about doing a 12X12 book for the images that I have been coloring lately. I don't exactly know what to do with them. Putting the in a book with designed pages might work. I got your package. Thank you. I love all the art stamps. I may use them to make a card for my art teacher daughter-in-law.
ReplyDeleteAwesome use of the cloud stencil on this super fun journal layout. Screams Spring to me~ Thanks for joining in at HLS Stencil Challenge
ReplyDeletegorgeous journal play! plenty of whimsy, love it! xo
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun journal page! I love the spring look, the Vera Lane girl is as fun and quirky as ever. I love the bright yellow silhouette animals and birds. I need to get my art journal out again. You have so inspired me.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your achy fingers!
Hugs Monica

P.S Hope those fingers are better now??
Sorry to hear you're not too good and your hands hurt, hope you're soon feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYou've created a great journal spread here, Aimeslee! There's so much to see in it, it must have taken you an age to do but I would say it is well worth it! I wish our weather was like this. Today was the first full day of spring but it's done nothing but rain! :( Still, brighter days ahead, I'm sure!
