Hi Ho, Happy FriYay. Hope your week went well.
I was supposed to post this yesterday, but before I could I got to feeling so bad I had to just take my medication and get into the bed and stay there. I think it's a bad fibromyalgia flare. I'm feeling somewhat better now, thank goodness, but I'm still taking it easier than usual until I'm completely over it.
So, this is another art journal page for the Art Journal Journey Flowers Challenge I'm hosting this month. (If you art journal, you are invited to link up through May 31.) I used several die cuts on this page, many in my bits and bobs box, and a few freshly cut. The MFT clouds, Altenew vines surrounding the birdhouse, the daisies, dragonfly and butterfly were in my box and ones I'd stamped and colored previously. The QK tall vine was cut for this page. The Stampers Anonymous TH bird was stamped, colored and fussy cut (I don't have the dies), and I printed/fussy cut one of the Beccy's Place birdhouse digis from her freebie Birdie Apartments and made a post to match it. The Le Jardin tag is a Fancy Pants scrapbooking embellie. A close-up showing the heat-embossed dragonfly and butterfly. I used Ranger Fern Green powder on the dragonfly after stamping with Versamark, and I used Ranger Marigold powder on the butterfly.
The Dragonfly is colored with a Sakura Metallic Glitter pen. The butterfly is colored with a Nuvo watercolor brush marker. The bird is stamped with Memento ink and colored with Promarkers, as is the tall vine. The daisies were colored with Posca Paint Pens. I'm not sure what I stamped the Altenew die cut stamps with, maybe Versamagic chalk ink.
That's it for me. Thanks for visiting and Happy Weekend!

That is a fun garden scene. I want to know what the dragonfly and the bird are thinking when they come face to face. And I love the bright colors. Hope the flare is over and you're feeling better. Have a great start to your weekend. hugs-Erika
Fabulous layout my friend! I love Tim's birds. Can you believe I don't feel worthy of doing the birds justice and only used them twice in 11 years? LOL.
You have talent and all your layouts intrigue me.
That message was from me!
I hope you feel better today Aimes! This is a fun journal page, those crazy birds get me every time. Thanks for playing along at The Paper Funday Challenge!

So sorry for your birdhouse and also more for the poor birds :( Hurricanes are really a tragedy also for animals.
Thanks so much for joining us at We Love Stamping!
A gorgeous page Aimeslee. I love the cute birdie.

This is another fabulous art journal page and so unusual with a file folder base and the medical tape painted background! All of the garden/backyard elements are terrific and with so many different sourced products you've achieved a great scene! We love birdhouses at FQGS! I can't relate to your hurricane experience but we had a house fire back in August 2017. We lost lots of family treasures in our kitchen. (back porch, laundry room/mud room space, and kitchen) Sometimes prepping meals makes me sad because of missing those antique and/or collector kind of platters, bowls, and tea pots. Probably like you stepping into your backyard and missing that special birdhouse. Take care. And thanks for participating again at FQGS!!! --Becca
What a delightful and whimsical page Aimeslee - it's a really creative piece of work. Thanks also for noting the images that were stamped.

This turned out so beautifully and loving all the fun colors! The birdhouse you had sounds lovely and in a great spot for bird watching. So sorry the hurricane(s) ruined it!
Thanks so much for sharing at I spy with my little eye!
I hope you're feeling a lot better now Aimeslee, and the flare up has subsided. I know other people who suffer with fibromyalgia and it's often debilitating. Take care.
Thanks for sharing your fabulous journal pages, they're fabulous and colourful! I love that you've created pages that remind you of wonderful times in your back garden. It was interesting to read about the techniques and items you used to complete the pages too... lots of work!
Cheers,
Beccy
