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!
