T Stands For Scrapping

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.  Colossians 3:16



 Hello!  The snow from last week is slowing melting.  But it is still nice to be inside crafting, so I have been scrapping.  I scrapped a page of my birthday flowers as they were so pretty.

I used Downton Abbey paper, as I just recently discovered it in one of my plastic drawers.  Yes, I had forgotten all about it.  I stamped flowers and heat embossed them and then water colored with TH Oxide inks, and fussy cut them to add to my page.  I die cut some banners for the side, I also thought that it needed some added purple like in the photo, so added some prima flowers with purple rhinestones. The title & journaling is computer generated.  The sentiment in the circle is the card that came with the flowers. 

I used SU Bander dies, TH oxides and Ranger Rainbow Sparkle embossing powder

I am entering this at Art Journal Journey for Just My Style.  Stamping, heat embossing, watercolor, and scrapping are my style.  Once someone said no scrapbook pages; then I think Elizabeth said a scrap page was in a way art journaling.  Let me know if it isn't.


12x12 finished page

Love that sentiment!

Also, I am linking up with Bleubeard & Elizabeth over at Altered Book Lover for our TSFT party.  So, I must post something drink related for my entry to the party.  I wasnt prepared for that today, so I will share an older photo I made in 2014, and which is long ago sent to someone. Hope you like it. 


Thank you so much for stopping by!  Happy T Day to the T Gang.  Everyone, stay warm!

Oh I love that scrapbook page you shared, Sharon. I don't know who told you a scrapbook page wasn't acceptable, but as long as it matches our theme for the month, it qualifies. If you look at my travel pages I make for my 7 Continents books, they have historical and geographical information, just no emotional and personal info.

You certainly believe that more is never too much, The beautiful papers and embellishments prove that. Thanks for this lovely entry you share with us at AJJ using Bleubeard's and my theme.

That is a lovely card. I like the sentiment and the little charms you used. Thanks for sharing this with us for T this almost Tuesday, dear friend.

Isn't it fun to find new items? With all the items us crafters collect I think it is impossible to not lose some of it for a while.
Loving that background paper on your page. And the perfect card for tea day.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate

You can absolutely use a scrap page as long as it fits the challenge. and this fits Elizabeth's challenge for certain. Thanks for joining us at Art Journal Journey Sharon. That is a really pretty bouquet. I can see why you made a page about it. And cute T day card. I like those charms you used Sharon. Have a great T day and week ahead. Hugs-Erika

Belated birthday wishes Sharon. What a lovely way to remember the beautiful flowers your sister gave you for your birthday.
I have never seen Downton Abbey paper, the piece you have used is delightful and makes the perfect backing for your page.
