TSFT & Art Journal Journey

Overcome Power of Fear study:  
Ps. 27:1  "The Lord is my light and my salvation;  whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"


Blogger is being obnoxious today!  Finally found a place that gives you choice of "compose view" or "HTML view".  Somehow it had gotten on that later view.  I didn't know that even existed and I have never noticed it before! LOL  
Oh, Good afternoon!  It is time for another TSFT  post.  Today I am also joining Art Journal Journey with a vintage scrapbook page.  I read the rules, and I think a scrapbook page works because it is 12"x12" page.  Elizabeth and I discussed this and I think she said it was okay.  :)

I have begun a heritage album for my sister.  This is the 4th page; the other pages are an actual family tree with names and dates on them. I will try to share other pages with you in the future.   I don't think she knows any of this information or seen any of the photos before, so I hope it is a great surprise and treasure for her.  She won't see it on my blog, I don't think....


The flowers were cut out of an old piece of lace I had.  The frame and corners are just from my 20 year old scrapbooking stash.  The letters were rub ons that I then punched out with a small circle punch.



Words from Tim Holtz


The little tickets are from Tim Holtz.




Tim Holtz people.

I just wanted to keep it simple as the photo  of our great grandparents is the real star.

I did walk this morning, later than normal, but even though it is already 90 now, the breeze was cool.  
I usually walk two mile East and back on the Red Bud trail which has been redone to be a concrete sidewalk, but today, I went west, which is gravel.  It was shadier, and not as busy, so I enjoyed it.  


A nice trail, but I am still in the city, after all, as you can see below.




Through one of the openings I could see a mixture of rural and urban, but for the most part it is quiet on the trail except for the birds singing.  It was a lovely walk.

I am  still am into sunflowers, so below is a photo of the door to my beauty shop.  She had this wonderful decoration, like a bottle cap. :)




This afternoon, I am working on addressing October birthday cards and writing in this week's challenges in my older journal on the right.  On the left is my newer sunflower journal which will start in November.  I am already beginning to write challenges in it, and the birthdays for those months. It occurs to me to include the Art Journal Journey, TIOT and Tuesday tag challenges in my journal.  Maybe I would remember to do them more often!  
 I also cut some frames to send my crafty friends in their birthday cards. 


Oh, and here is my beverage for TSFT in my favorite cup.



Happy T Day to the T Gang!  Thank you to all of you for stopping by.  I appreciate your comments.  Have a great week!

  1. Your view of the gravel path into the trees has a magical appeal ... what will one find when walking down this very straight lane?

  2. What a lovely place to walk, dear. Gravel is also better on your feet and back than concrete. Allows for absorption.

    Your scrapbook page is beautiful and absolutely perfect for Art Journal Journey's latest theme. I like the lace flowers and the frame you used that truly matches the corners. Those tickets add charm and appeal, but you are right. Your great-grandparents are the real stars. Look a that hat and shoes on your great-grandmother. What a great sign of the times.

    How nice to see those challenge journals. When I held lots of swaps, I did the same thing. Now I never think about it. Thanks for sharing your art , your journal pages, and your tea with us for T this almost Tuesday, dear.

  4. I think this page is beautiful Sharon and perfect for Art Journal Journey. I love the addition of lace and those vintage pieces you added. That's a wonderful photo too. Are those your parents or grandparents? And nice walk photos. I love the view of the hay rolls and the view of the city behind it. I hope you have a wonderful T day and week ahead. Hugs-Erika

  9. Happy T-Day Sharon! I see you have been busy! Great vintage Scrapbook page for AJJ - I have shared several scrapbook pages and so far no one has taken me to task - lol. They are art when you add lots of details like you have here. Super cool. Love your walk pictures and journal pictures too. That trail you walk looks lovely. Many hugz!

  12. What a beautiful page about your grandparents. I do (did) scrapbooking and I have made a memory book for my son (who lives in Italy) about the Dutch side of his family. In a similar vein I suppose.
    Your walk sounds really nice. Do you go alone? The gravel path is good for walking (as long as you don't wear sandals).
    Happy T-Day,
    Hugs,
    Lisca

  16. Dropping by to get a closer look at your wonderful Scrapbook page. You are so fortunate to have these beautiful 'old' pictures. I love the frame around your picture, and really love the vintage lace you added on the page. The TH kids and sentiment are great accents as well. Love seeing the pictures of your walk, and the sunflower sign on your hairdressers shop door!

  18. I really do enjoy venturing out with you, Sharon. Thank you so much for taking me along. I love that scrapbook page. Your sister is going to flip when she sees it with all of the embellishments. Very cool to have family pictures from the previous generations. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your roots. I love the frame on the picture.
