Hey there, hope everyone is doing okay. I'm popping in with an art journal page for my Flowers challenge at Art Journal Journey plus other challenges.
The flowers in this scene are on DCWV paper that I've used as a tablecloth background. The focus of the page is freshly picked produce and in the center a plate with a slice of strawberry cake garnished with the berries. Your page does not have to feature flowers for the AJJ challenge, it just has to have some. However, I also made this with the Double D Challenge in mind, which is Fresh Picked (Other Than Flowers), so my flowered paper is the background and not the feature. And as always, it fits other challenges, too!
I used my stamps with Memento Ink, colored with Promarkers and fussy cut some, a few had coordinating dies. I stamped everything on sticker paper which was nice not have to mess with glue or tape. I did use two mini journaling card illustration embellishments from Prima's Fruit Paradise A4 paper collection, but everything else is stamped. The stamps are by: 100 Proof Press (truck), Sunny Studio (cherries and strawberries) and Lockhart Stamps (cherries in colander), My Little Shoebox (peas in pod and polka dotted pear), Avery Elle (cake on plate and pineapple) and Glitz Design (wood grain sign background).
The produce truck's sign letters are Quickutz dies. The bottom right hand sign was made by stamping a wood background and cutting out, again using the QK alpha dies for the letters.
Here's the page next to the one I did last week, using the same papers. Since I had used two different papers, I had enough to cover 2, so why not? And the pages are related, so I thought that together they made a nice spread. When I made the sun spread, though, I had no idea what the right hand side was going to be until I saw Double D's theme, so I thank them for the idea!
And on a related note, we received a little treat from Honey's mom when he went over today for a visit to bring her Mother's Day gift and card. He came back with a carrot loaf cake she'd made. The carrots were freshly picked from her garden, planted in March. She also used pecans from her trees. We made a cream cheese icing for it and have already enjoyed some! Honey's making me a grapefruit pie tomorrow. I cannot wait to taste it. Now for that, he's using canned grapefruit as it's not time for the Ruby Reds from the South Texas Valley to hit the stores until July. It's still plenty good!
😋
Thanks for the visit and take care!

Your journal spread is fabulous, but being greedy, I honed in on the carrot cake and the thought of grapefruit pie has made my mouth water! Carrot cake with fresh carrots from the garden - wow, what a fantastic cake that must be! And perhaps I can pop over tomorrow for the grapefruit pie....Okay, I'll try to forget the deliciousness and say thanks for linking to AJJ and hosting our challenge this month! Happy Mother's Day, hugs, Valerie

I feel HORRIBLE, Aimeslee. I know I am slow because of my arm and shoulder, but I have missed so much. I didn't even know about the adjoining page had you not shared it.
This is a brilliant entry. love how you used the paper background as a tablecloth. It shows how you can see something and figure a way to use it in a way that is different from what was intended. Thanks for this subtle, yet effective entry you have given us using your theme at AJJ, dear.
What a sweet layout for your art journal. Just perfect for the Fresh Picked challenge at DD. So glad you linked up! Best of luck to you.
Fantastic journal spread my friend. I'm getting hungry for some strawberries that should be ripe in a few weeks. Have a fabulous day.
