T Stands for Tea

"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,"  Philippians 1:3


Happy Tuesday!  I am a little late to our tea party!  I wanted to finish a journal layout for Art  Journal Journey for Chris's August Hot Summer (Nights and Days) challenge.  I am still working in my Smash book and using leftover photos from my scrapbooking.  These are Summertime photos from different years. Besides leftover photos, I used leftovers from a Simple Stories kit that I got at a scrap retreat in K.C. Mo. in 2018!  The journaling was printed off with my label maker.  After everything was down, I covered the photos, and spattered with Mango Lemonade Memories Mists.  I kid you not, that is the name!  That could be my ticket to the TSFT, couldn't it?  It is a drink related reference....  but, see below, as I have a more normal ticket.

This is also for a Splitcoaststampers "Summer Fun" Clean and Simple Challenge and for the Art Journal Art Journal Sketch Challenge on A Cherry on Top, (ACOT)


Here is my ticket to TSFT over at Altered Book Lover:  This card is for the Alpha Challenge on Splitcoststampers. The letter this week is F for furniture.  These were gifted dies, so I am excited that I could actually use them!  I layered the scene on a heart embossed panel, another gifted item.  I stamped and punched Just for You from Tea Shoppe, an old retired Stampin' Up! set. This is also for a challenge on A Cherry on Top (ACOT) to use some shiny paper and to use at least 5 sequins.  I inked the edges and over the raised hearts with TH faded jeans Distress Ink.



Thanks for stopping by.  I will see you next time.

This is a great art post Sharon. That image on your card is perfect for T day, and your journal page is a nice ode to summer. Is that your walking trail? I hope it was a super T day, and I hope your weather isn't too hot. Hugs-Erika

That's a very original 'ticket' to the T-Party (Mango >Lemonade Memories Mists).
And the tea drinkers on the card are so cute.
Sorry I'm (also) late. My blog though scheduled, hadn't published and I wasn't aware until much later.

Hi Sharon! I love the card you created. It’s so elegant and adorable at the same time. It instantly transports me back to my childhood. And the art journal spread you made is beautiful. The photos you’ve included are all gorgeous. I especially like your photo of the path; I wonder where it is going and want to take a walk now! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful art with us. Hugs, Sharon

How sweet, your little tea party, dear Sharon! 🍵🫖 This picture reminds me of the paper cuttings one of my aunts used to master so beautifully.
Your double-page with the leftover photos and Simple Stories kit fits the August Hot Summer (Nights and Days) theme perfectly – it’s not only lovely, but also a clever way to use up scraps.
🍋 Mango Lemonade Memories Mists sounds truly fun!
All the best from Austria and thank you for your lovely comment, Traude 🌿

Loving your journal page with the lovely photos on it. What a fabulous name Mango Lemonade Memories Mists is - I wonder who made that one up? The first bit sounds like a lovely summer drink.
Your tea card is so pretty and reminds me of our Bistro set on the patio.
Hugs, Neet xx
