T Stands for Time in my Craft Room

   6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

I have been in my craft room for quite a while today to make this art journal page for **Art*Journal*Journey* for Chris's Where in the World Challenge this month.  I do not plan out my projects I just start in.  I had found this old ephemera from our 25th anniversary trip to Paris and went from there. I liked these colors of color bursts and prepared my background.  I sprinkled the Canson 7x10" Mix media paper with my powders, too many, and then spritzed with water.  I had a miss!  Then I daubed with a paper towel.  Then I didn't know what I was going to do besides putting on the little map actually of our boat trip on the Seine.  I got the idea then to put what the occasion was with the die cut words and a stamped remember.  I put on the scraps that I tore off, only used the other side.  I put a rub-on in the top left corner and the today's date in the bottom right corner.  I did some inking of the edges.  I think that is about it.  Oh, I added fiber!  I enjoyed the process. And I used my colors!


The rub on IRL is black, don't know why it shows white in the photo.


Anyone read French?


This will be a fun way to remember.  The photos in my album are old school, not digital, so not on my computer.  It would have been nice to print some off to put on here, or just to show them to you at this point.  Maybe someday, will take photos of the photos and put them on here.

It is time to share a drink for TSFT over at Altered Book Lover with Bleubeard & Elizabeth.  They are our hosts for this tea party.  This is from my archives.



Happy T Day to the T Gang!  Have a great week!  See you next time!

That's a nice page about the Bateaux Mouche. I did that "cruise" in 1975 and enjoyed it very much back then. Happy T day!

I don't read French, but I really love the background on your page! That green is magnificent as are the old map pieces.
Happy tea Day,
Kate

That's a great anniversary trip Sharon. It's quite the celebration too, but 25 years makes it worth something special. And it's a nice page for Chris' challenge. Thanks so much for joining us at AJJ. And I like your mug too. It's a great size for lots of T or coffee. Have a great T day and week ahead. Hugs-Erika

I would have known this was your page because these are your colors, Sharon. That is lovely even if I have no idea what is written in French. I suspect Chris will know, though. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at AJJ using Chris's theme.

What a fun mug you have shared this week, dear. Thanks for sharing your tea mug and your journal page with us for T this Tuesday.

I remember showing your thank you card and the cafe tickets you sent, but since the ATC was in a hand made envelope, I didn't open it. Looking back at the 10th anniversary envelopes, I didn't show Deb's either. I will have to find your ATC and Deb's package which was NOT with the rest of the envelopes. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

A fabulous page and clearly a trip to look back on. We keep saying we'll do a Seine trip but as yet it still hasn't happened. Thanks for sharing for my AJJ theme. Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx

What a great layout for your journal. Also fun to remember those special times. I have so many photos not digital that I need to put into some kind of scrapbook.
